Home Secretary Sajid Javid announced on Monday that Hezbollah was entirely banned from the country. “My priority as Home Secretary is to protect the British people. As part of this, we identify and ban any terrorist organisation which threatens our safety and security, whatever their motivations or ideology which is why I am taking action against several organisations today,” Javid began. “Hizbollah is continuing in its attempts to destabilase the fragile situation in the Middle East – and we are no longer able to distinguish between their already banned military wing and the political party. Because of this, I have taken the decision to proscribe the group in its entirety,” he added. https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/hezbollah-fully-banned-in-the-uk-javid/ It's very late but Bravo to UK.
Had to grin at Javid's balls about his priority being to "protect the British people". Maybe someone can tell me the last time Hezbollah attacked mainland UK? Since I don't think (or recall) that has ever happened - not even once - then there has to be another more cynical reason that entirely un-connected to "protecting the British people". Politicians are just liars. I thought a useful insight into this affair is that of Craig Murray today. https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/arch...avish-pro-israel-agenda-finally-gone-too-far/
Since the entire term "terrorist" was and is thoroughly abused and raped in the world ... I have to seriously ask: is Hezbollah a terrorist organization or are they freedom fighters? The question is justified, because what is a terrorist to one is a freedom fighter for the other! For example, look at the YPG Kurds in northern Syria, who are US allies in the fight against IS and certainly have a closeness to the Kurdish PKK. Are these terrorists? Ask Donald Trump and many Americans and they will answer "no they are not" ... ask Erdogan and many Turks and they will say "yes they are"! I hope that secretary clown is also aware that Hezbollah in Lebanon is a legitimate political party, that they got most of the votes in the last election, also judged democratic by the West, and some Lebanese state ministers are members of Hezbollah even before last election!
I would agree. That is the only thing which makes sense. The below Real News interview goes into some of the ways Israel is trying to interfere with the Sovereignty of Britain. May is in on it. Do you remember when May told Councils they had to put in the IHRA definition of antisemitism or they would be going against the law. This was not true and an attempt at censorship. What is interesting is that the Tory party has not taken on the parts of it they were screaming antisemitism at Corbyn about. Anyway here is the video
I completely agree with banning Hezbollah from the West. But then you need to ban the Israel lobby as well, it's only fair. Britain for the British. All foreign influence needs to go.
I agree with you entirely Mandelus. Hezbollah is a legitimate political party under any definition of that term except Israel's.
It is also interesting, whatever your political persuasion may be on Brexit, that the bulk of those Labour MP's who recently defected to the TIG group, were members of the Labour Friends of Israel. If one follows the connections they all led to Tony Blair, Peter Mandelson and the Second Referendum / Remainers.
Does not the same apply to Hamas then? Is Hamas a terrorist organisation, or freedom fighters? It's a thin line depending on perceptions. Either way, their remit isn't to kill civilians in their homes.
Sure ... you can ask this question to nearly every terror group in the world of today and in the past... and no matter if religious or political motivated.
Yes I agree. Channel 4 said on the night that they thought Mandelson and friends had been told to not answer their phones. Mandelson was however a couple of days later speaking with Vince Cable who was not at all pleased at them leaving at this time and taking the eye of Brexit. Mandelson put him at ease, can't remember how. I have thought him and Blair and Campbell and so on are behind this. They have apparently created themselves as a Company. This apparently means they do not need to say who is funding them.
The more the supporters of these despicable organizations continue their support, the worse the situation will continue in Gaza and Lebanon. Only Arabs are responsible for Other Arab's situation.
Following on with the pro Israel McCarthiesm which is destroying the democracy of the UK I was horrified to see last night that Chris Williamson has been banned while Labour investigate a 'pattern of behaviour' which suggested the deepest level of antisemitism. For instance https://www.theguardian.com/politic...ds-chris-williamson-over-antisemitism-remarks Basically anyone who is honest and does not believe the smears is antisemtic. On top of that he has been seen with Jackie Walker the most damned of people, a black...I will say that again a black Jew. Not only a black Jew but one whose ancestors were involved in the slave trade.....but wait for the most damnable part of it, *******n it she believes Palestinians are human beings who deserve the same rights as everyone else so of course she was set up with a fake recording of what was supposed to be a private no recording work session on antisemitism. Watching May in the Commons last night acting as if Williamson was antisemetic and the whole of Labour was, not helped by just having watched a program on how currently democracy is being destroyed in the West and these lies just tick all the t's, I think possibly for England time is up. England's courts, which had work put into them to make sure they were a check and balance in the 80's or 90's have stood up exceedingly well against these attempts to make political leaning antisemetic or against the law. For that reason they have given up using them, finding defamation of character on a mass scale works well. What they are doing is the same as is shown happening in this Al Jazeera investigation of the Israeli Lobby in the US. https://electronicintifada.net/content/watch-film-israel-lobby-didnt-want-you-see/25876 Of course when it is MP's we see in the UK investigation of same a man from the Israeli Embassy discussing how any with concern for Palestinian Rights can be 'taken down' That was I think before calling them antsemitiic was seen as the most successful tactic.
Enough is enough, Israel now has an undue influence on the British political system, time to start attacking these Israeli scum in our community. Expose them for what they are and get them out.
They are attacking our political systems independence, we will attack their institutions, show them to be the hot bed of fifth columnists and liars they are until they are driven out of our society. Labour and Conservative friends of Israel should be first along with driving the Israeli fifth columnists out of the Labour Party.
Good, Israel supporters have carried out terrorist attacks against my country since 1920, I am not sure what else you refer to?
And the UK enslaved, oppresed and killed millions all over the globe in her colonial period which ended in the late 40's... Yea, not sympathetic at all. Ask the Indians how much they appreciated your meddling.
Really I have condoned terrorism from any source consistently, where as you will not condemn Israeli terrorism.
