UK blacklists Hezbollah as terror group, Jeremy Corbyn objects

Opposed to the government’s decision to designate all of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, whose party has been drenched with accusations of anti-Semitism since he assumed leadership in 2015, had referred to Hezbollah in the past as his “friends.”

The British Labour party rejected the government’s decision to define Hezbollah as a terrorist organization in its totality.

By David Rosenberg

 

While the Senate managed to pass a bill empowering states and local governments to ban cooperation with the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, the refusal of nearly two dozen senators to back the legislation has highlighted the growing divided within the Democratic Party over support for Israel.
