That is why it is illegal to give Hezbollah money. It should be noted that many of the groups on the list are not necissarily directly opposed to America, like Kahane Chai, the IRA, And Aum Shirinkayo. However, Hezbollah is certainly violently opposed to a close ally, and we should uphold our alliance, and justice, by barring citizens from aiding the enemy financially. It should also be noted that Hezbollah has close ties with a country that is definitely our enemy: Iran.

Americans can watch any TV channel they want, as long as that TV channel isn't owned and operated by terrorists. The difference between Hezbollah and Al-Jazeerah is the difference between The American Nazi Party and Fox News.
Yeah I know that you can't fund a terrorist organization. But you can still broadcast what ever news you want. It's in the Constitution. It doesn't matter if its Good Morning Neo-Nazis or Al-Qaeda Today. And any law abridging that freedom of the press can simply be overturned. So then the true question that must be answered is: did that individual provide material support to Hezbollah? Or, is trading with Hezbollah the same as "providing material support or resources to a designated FTO"?
