"Hezbollah was formed from numerous other Lebanese Shia groups shortly after Israel's 1982 invasion, largely fought in mainly Shia southern Lebanon. The group was conceived by Iran, or at least was aided in its inception by the arrival in Lebanon of 1,500 Islamic revolutionary guards from Iran, three years after that country's own Islamic Revolution in 1979. Iran, as an Islamic republic — a Shia one — remains a close ally, financial backer, arms supplier and model for Hezbollah. Syria backs Hezbollah morally and has also supplied it with money and arms, such as Katyusha rockets. In return, Hezbollah protects Syria's interests in Lebanon and aligns with Syria in its confrontation with Israel over the occupation of the Golan Heights."

No, Syria has never supported terrorists.

I suspect that Heresons posts have as much likely hood of being intercepted+veted by intelligence services as if he was posting from the USA. Still keep with the 'nice country....nice leader' line and you should be fine

Hezbollah is not quite a terrorist movement. It just wants Lebanon free from Israeli occupation. Of course, it wants destruction of Israel as well, but it's kind of normal among Arabic parties. And not without a reason. And it's just it, Syria supports no other group but it.
And why should it not support someone fighting against its deadly enemy that occupies important part of its territory and persecutes a brotherly nation?

Terrorism: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
