Hizbullah explained in two sentences

""And Nasrallah has made his fighters the foot soldiers of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, under the wing of the al-Quds brigade of its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.""  And then this correspondent does what all Western correspondents in the Middle East do: he makes up words and attribute them to Hasan Nasrallah:  "Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hizbollah, calls these intrusions into Syria divinely sanctioned resistance, protecting the Shia and other minorities from the savagery of Sunni jihadi extremism."  In fact, in every speech on the subject, he argues that the danger of the Jihads is directed at other Sunnis more than on minorities but lies are stubborn facts in Western coverage of the Middle East.  (thanks Michael)
