"Hezbollah funded by Israel" link?
I don't know where I heard this last week but an interviewee on a news program made the assertion Israel provided important funding to the Hezbollah in the early 1980's in an attempt to undermine Arafat.

Is this a proven fact?

Apologies if this is an old debate. I had never heard of it and my web searches have been fruitless.

Peace to all,

1. Actually, I believe it was HAMAS
Sorry, no link. But that's what I heard. And for the same reason you mentioned.

2. This was Hamas
Edited on Thu Jun-17-04 12:34 PM by Lithos
When it was part of the Muslim Brotherhood and committed towards a political and not militant solution. This goes back to when Israel was seeking a force (which it hoped would be peaceful) to oppose the militant and secular PLO.

See:

And now I am locking this thread because it violates I/P guidelines in that it is not based on a recent news or op-ed story.
