For the US, only Hamas, the parent organization is, not IQB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izz_ad-Din_al-Qassam_Brigades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izz_ad-Di

  From your own link: > the military wing of the Palestinian organization Hamas I don't really care if the US government tiptoes around that or not, by any reasonable definition (targeting civilians with random violence to achieve political goals) they are terrorists.

    You were the one to mention "legal implications", are you a legislator?

      There are countries in which 'X' does business other than the US, which incidentally does consider Hamas and its military wing to be terrorists. It recognizes Hamas "as a whole" to be a terror group, and Qassam Brigades are a part of that whole. For example the entire EU recogizes the al-Qassam Brigades to be terrorists. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izz_ad-Din_al-Qassam_Brigades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izz_ad-Din_al-Qassam_Brigades I don't need to be a legislator, because I'm simply reporting the facts rather than seeking to twist or invent them. It's simply a fact that there would be legal implications to knowingly hosting a recognized terrorist organization, this is not controversial. You can even agree with the aims of the terrorist organization, believing that they should be called something else, but still recognize the legal landscape.
