From the Paper:

"Hizbollah has traditionally selected victims based on their affiliation or association with Israel; the perceived imperialism of the west, specifically the United States, has been a major factor in this selection as well. Support for Israel or for western civilization has been interpreted by Hizbollah as a threat to its own government and existence; the group uses propaganda methods such as operating its own television station espousing its form of politics and the evils of Israel and the west. This propaganda includes "propaganda videos set to jihadist songs, which make up about 25 percent of Al-Manar's programming day," as well as programming whose primary purpose is to "venerate suicide bombers as martyrs; call for the obliteration of Israel and the death of the United States; exhort Palestinians to violently overthrow their racist "oppressors"; and portray Israelis as baby-slaughtering terrorists."
