Wide popular support

Powerful Lebanese political party and provider of social services to many Shia.
Israeli strikes boost Hezbollah

Palestinians Hold Hezbollah in High Regard
Hezbollah Legit for Jordanians

Damn, sounds pretty grass roots to me

I think they're nothing but puppets for Iran and Syria, and are an all-out terrorist organization. Wait, appearantly I'm not alone - the EU and America see them even worse then I do.

I never said a "peace group". Nor was I asking what Hezbollah is. I'm specifically asking whether Hezbollah is a grass roots organization since you seem to disagree...

Of course. If you go through some of the articles I posted, the Middle East widely regards hezbollah as a resistance movement, while outside, government positions are mixed..

Even the LEBANESE GOVERNMENT considers Hezbollah as a legitimate resistance against occupation.

I really don't understand Q, how Hezbollah can't not be grass roots.

Grass roots organisations don’t need to ask for permission further up the chain of command to do things. As far as I know hezbollah pass plans via iran for their seal of approval.
