In short the Hezbollah is as, if not more, complex that the IRA was - who at various times were Nationalists, Fascists, Communists, Anarchists, Criminal, or Sectarian terrorists; to reduce them to simply a Catholic terrorist group is equally deluded...

If someone murders your mother and then offers you bread afterwards, I'm sure you'd see them as a very giving person and all is well huh?
Hezbollah is classified as a terrorist organization around the world, but I'm sure they'd appreciate your support.
