Talk:Hizballah
"according to Israel Foreign Ministry -"
Come on now. if D* is going to provide background and useful info on groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, ... groups that are antagonistic vs. Israel, then we can't provide definitions presented by the Israel Foreign Ministry -- this stinks. Whatever you may think of Hezbollah, they are not only an armed group but a political/social and military group. With much sacrifice they managed to boot out the Israelis from their land.
As such, i urge a complete rewrite, with other sources, or otherwise might as well delete the current rendition of this definition/background.
PS: As far as I know, Lebanese newspapers use the term Hezbollah (not Hizbollah) -- if so, then i think this should be the main term for the definition.

Having the statement of the Israeli foreign ministry doesn't necessarily invalidate the article, and it is noted that, yes, this ic oming from a source that one look would tell you is probably not impartial. Israel is a touchy subject, and one which has to be kind of dealt with kids gloves, so as not to come as either conspiracy nut bar sounding or a white wash of the event ala the mainstream media.
contributing to disinformation
But Sib; If there were other info on the page i would agree with yuo, but taht is all the info that is up!! If it were part of a mosaic of info i would understand it, not as the only reference. This was the same problem with (Hamas, PFLP, Sharansky...) I understand that D* is meant to counter disinformation... isn't using these hostile definitions/backgrounds etc. contributing to disinformation?
Kind rgds PaulR
