Labour Party Conference is only just over when they fall into yet another controversy

The Jewish Chronicle reported yesterday that:

Sajid Javid is to buttress his tough stance against Islamist extremism by proscribing the Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah in full, the JC can reveal.

The Home Secretary will use his speech at next week’s Conservative Party annual conference to announce the move, which has long bepen called for by the Jewish community and others concerned with terrorism.

This move will be welcomed by the Jewish Community in this country.  However this is far from for Jeremy Corbyn and not just because Hezbollah are amongst his "friends" (which also include the IRA Sinn Fein, Hamas and Irans dictatorship.)

The Jewish Chronicle reports today:

Labour MPs have been advised not to push for Hezbollah to be banned in Britain because party leaders want to “encourage” the terrorist group “down an effective democratic path”.

“Full proscription could be a move against dialogue and meaningful peace negotiations in the Middle East.”

Such a viewpoint is hardly surprising given their links with the anti-"Zionist" movement. Corbyn has previously even brought members of the group into the centre of our democracy. The Labour leadership wilfully ignore the fact that Hezbollah is an Islamist organisation sponsored and armed by the Clerics who run Iran. These people are genocidal and wish only to wipe Israel off the map.

Unacceptable!

The briefing was written by that well known intellectual fool Diane Abbot. The growing hostility of the left to both Israel and the wider Jewish Community has been made mainstream by the Labour Party.

There are those in Labour trying to fight back and Joan Ryan MP is to open the debate by saying:

“Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation, driven by an antisemitic ideology, which seeks the destruction of Israel. It has wreaked death and destruction throughout the Middle East, aiding and abetting the Assad regime’s butchery in Syria and helping to drive Iran’s expansionism throughout the region.

“It makes no distinction between its political and military wings and neither should the British government.”

Joan should add that no amount of discussion will change the minds of Hezbollah who are Islamists in the Iranian tradition and will never believe in democracy as it goes against their beliefs. Neither will they accept the presence of Jews in Israel. A pointles exercise pursued by Labour's leadership.

Corbyn knows who his "friends" are. Jews are not amongst them.
