==Regional plans==
Amongst its stated objectives is the establishment of a Shiite theocracy in [[Lebanon]].
<ref>http://www.aph.gov.au/Library/pubs/rn/2002-03/03rn42.htm</ref>
Hezbollah's goal is the establishment of an Islamic state encompassing Lebanon and Israel.

==Character, racism, fascism==
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 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.

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>

====Subjugation, persecution====
Hezbollah has a long history of persecuting Christians, decries a Lebanese author.<ref>http://www.independentconservative.com/2006/08/02/hezbollah_kills_christians_part2/</ref>
The writer W. Phares explains on the suffering of civilians, especially since Hezbollah's take over in 1990: <blockquote>Such takeover by the Jihadist militia was expected to provoke an exodus by thousands of civilians who would have been subjected to Hezbollah’s persecution. However suddenly on May 23, the Israeli Government then under Prime Minister Ehud Barak ordered a quick pull out from the security zone without waiting for the local force, at the time known as ‘South Lebanon Army’ (SLA) to be transferred under the United Nations or to operate as a local force to stop Hezbollah until the UN would decide what to do.
The population of the “security zone” was about 150,000 counting the district of Jezzine; and its local forces were about 3,000 strong. the make up of the population was Christian, Shia and Druse with some Sunni villages to the East. To their north Hezbollah had massed its forces backed by Iranian Pasdaran advisors. Between 1984 and 2000 Hezbollah launched several offensives against the SLA positions but was unable to overrun them permanently.</blockquote>

==Character, racism, fascism==
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 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.

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>

Hezbollah has a long history of persecuting Christians, decries a Lebanese author.<ref>http://www.independentconservative.com/2006/08/02/hezbollah_kills_christians_part2/</ref>
The writer W. Phares explains on the suffering of civilians, especially since Hezbollah's take over in 1990: <blockquote>Such takeover by the Jihadist militia was expected to provoke an exodus by thousands of civilians who would have been subjected to Hezbollah’s persecution. However suddenly on May 23, the Israeli Government then under Prime Minister Ehud Barak ordered a quick pull out from the security zone without waiting for the local force, at the time known as ‘South Lebanon Army’ (SLA) to be transferred under the United Nations or to operate as a local force to stop Hezbollah until the UN would decide what to do.
The population of the “security zone” was about 150,000 counting the district of Jezzine; and its local forces were about 3,000 strong. the make up of the population was Christian, Shia and Druse with some Sunni villages to the East. To their north Hezbollah had massed its forces backed by Iranian Pasdaran advisors. Between 1984 and 2000 Hezbollah launched several offensives against the SLA positions but was unable to overrun them permanently.</blockquote>
