Here’s a piece that says: Hezbollah gives hope to Palestinians.

Hope that they can kill even more Jews, more efficiently. And writer Matthew Schofield clearly sympathizes with them, calling terrorist gangs “resistance movements.”

BALATA, West Bank - Last month, in the midst of this Biblical landscape, Murad abu Shadi Marshoud had a revelation.

As he watched the mighty Israeli army held at bay by a small band of Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon, Marshoud said he understood its implications for the Palestinians’ own resistance movement. “We’ve been doing everything wrong,” the 26-year-old said. “Hezbollah has shown us the way. After years in the wilderness, Hezbollah has given us hope.”

Marshoud and other Palestinians involved in the fight against Israel say they must emulate Hezbollah’s guerrilla war tactics and training, its political savvy and its abundant funding from outside sources if it is to challenge Israel with any effectiveness.

Mohammed Salman, 24, says the Palestinian movement needs a top-to-bottom revival. “Our resistance is over. No one wants to admit it, but we’ve failed,” he said. “We have to rebuild our movement, from the ground up, and the obvious model is Hezbollah.”

For a resistance movement that has been at odds - and war - with Israel for most of four decades, but with little success, the Palestinians watched Hezbollah’s month-long fight with rapt attention. Throughout the territories, people gleaned what they believe is wisdom and the means to move their own liberation struggle forward after decades of stagnation.

For many of them, the intensity of Hezbollah’s training and discipline was eye-opening.

“Hezbollah is disciplined, sure of its steps,” said Marshoud, twin brother of the late Khalil Marshoud, a leader in the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, which the State Department calls an extremist terrorist group. “For us a brigade is formed when four friends decide they are a brigade. I’ve never had a day of training. None of us have. Hezbollah fights with anti-tank missiles - that they know how to use. Many of us have nothing more than rocks.”
