A writer in the [[Christian Science Monitor]] explains that "Hizbullah's real goal is racist: To free the Middle East holy lands of Jews... Hizbullah's goal is not the "liberation" of Palestine. Its members are not Palestinian. They are (Arab) Islamic extremists who want to "liberate" all Islamic land."<ref>~~http~~://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0727/p09s01-coop.html</ref>

Its [[Al-Manar]] television is infamous for being [[racist]], several [[European]] countries, including [[France]], [[Spain]], [[Germany]] and the [[Netherlands]], as well as [[Australia]], have also taken measures to block Al-Manar. In March 2005, the broadcasting regulators in the [[European Union]] agreed to ban satellite broadcasting of Al-Manar on the basis that the channel carried racist material and incitement. As a result, several satellite service providers, most of them European, dropped Al-Manar, making it unavailable in North and South America, Asia and Australia. Al-Manar, is, however, still available in Europe through Arab satellite companies and its Web site offers English, French and Spanish translations of its material.

==Global Plans==

The [[Associated Press]] reported in May, 2010, that a [[Muslim]] cleric calls for 'Greater Iran' - [[Shi'ite]] '''Islamic union''' would stretch from [[Afghanistan]] to [[Israel]]. Ayatollah Mohammad Bagher Kharrazi said the creation of what he termed an "Islamic United States" is a central aim of the political party he leads - called Hizbullah, or Party of God. He added that he hoped to make his vision a reality if the party won the next presidential election. "The Islamic United States will be an introduction to the formation of the global village of the oppressed and that will be a prelude to the single global rule of the Mahdi," the newspaper quoted him as saying.<ref>http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ixeFBxfLzaSjs8Mb8cuFmtPOT6-wD9FN9ING1</ref><ref>~~http~~://www.jpost.com/IranianThreat/News/Article.aspx?ID=175619</ref>

The plane was on a scheduled flight from Cairo to Athens. Hijackers—the two terrorists were brandishing grenades and pistols—forced it to Beirut and twice went to Algiers before returning to Beirut releasing most of the (non-American) 152 passengers along the way, and murdering U.S. Navy diver Robert Stethem, one of the passengers—beating him, torturing, shooting him in the temple and dumping his body on the tarmac of Beirut International Airport (June 15).
