This thesis analyses how Hezbollah has perceived Israel since its establishment. In
this study it is argued that Israel is the main enemy of and source of hatred for
Hezbollah. The references of this overall statement are the ideology and political,
social and military history of Hezbollah. The armed struggle of Hezbollah against
Israel started with the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon evolved into both a
political participation with the continued armed militia in the period between 1982
to today. During this period, in addition to its armed conflict with Israel,
Hezbollah came on the stage with social services for Lebanese society and
political propaganda in Lebanese elections. The intersection point of these three
identities is the endless encouragement of Hezbollah for a determined resistance
against Israel. While on the one hand Hezbollah defines Israel to be the most
dangerous threat for the world, in addition to being a prominent enemy for the
Arab and Muslim community / on the other hand Israel regards Hezbollah to be
the highest impact menace. Consequently, the thesis is finalized with outputs and
predictions taking all historical and ideological aspects into concern.
