“It is, moreover, utterly delusional to think that, having wreaked death and destruction throughout the region, Hezbollah can play any role in promoting peace.”
Yes. “Utterly delusional” aptly sums up the Left when it comes to jihad.
“Labour MPs Instructed to Vote Against Banning Hezbollah Terror Group,” by Virginia Hale, Breitbart, January 28, 2018:
Labour MPs were instructed to block parliamentary efforts to ban Hezbollah entirely because party leaders want to “encourage” the group “down a democratic path”.
The advice was issued by Labour’s Shadow Home Affairs team ahead of a House of Commons debate on the issue, arranged by Labour MP Joan Ryan, with the motion asserting: “Hezbollah declares itself to be one organization without distinguishable political or military wings.”
Only the military wing of the radical Islamic group is currently outlawed in Britain, while all of Hezbollah has been designated a terrorist group by the Arab League, Israel, Canada, and the Netherlands, among others.
The Trump White House last week urged countries across the globe to join in a total ban.
Speaking in the Commons, Ryan called on the government to add Hezbollah’s political wing to the list of banned groups, pointing to the organisation’s “anti-Semitic ideology that seeks the destruction of Israel”.
But Labour lawmakers were told not to back the motion based on claims it could hinder peace talks in the Middle East, in a leaflet sent before the backbenchers’ debate.
The document, which was seen by the Jewish Chronicle, read: “There is a balance between making absolutely clear our abhorrence of using violence to achieve political ends and at the same time encouraging organisations down an effective democratic path.
“Full proscription could be a move against dialogue and meaningful peace negotiations in the Middle East,” alleged the note from Labour’s shadow Home Affairs team, which is led by Diane Abbott, a long-time ally and alleged former lover of leader Jeremy Corbyn, who in 2009 infamously referred to Hezbollah and the Hamas terror outfit as “friends”….
Slamming the note, Labour Friends of Israel chief Jennifer Gerber said in a statement it was “sadly unsurprising” that the party’s frontbench would issue a statement on Hezbollah “which makes no reference to its virulent antisemitism, its desire to annihilate Israel and its appalling role in propping up Assad’s murderous regime in Syria.
“It is, moreover, utterly delusional to think that, having wreaked death and destruction throughout the region, Hezbollah can play any role in promoting peace. We would urge Labour’s leadership to listen to this afternoon’s debate and reconsider its position,” she said….

This is why, no matter how useless we think the May gov’t is, we must keep Jeremy Corbyn as far as possible from Number 10.

Jack Holan says
Do any sane and strong leaders of the Margaret Thatcher WinstonCchurchill type exist today in England? Is there a Party with values willing to confront Jihadist Islam.
Robert send the Party leaders your book on Iran!
StellaSaidSo says
Hello Jack Holan,
Anne Marie Waters, who came second in the recent UKIP leadership election, has formed a new party, called FOR BRITAIN. Unlike the major parties (and UKIP), FOR BRITAIN is prepared to confront the Islam issue head-on. Anne Marie is a lawyer, and founder of SHARIA WATCH UK. Paul Weston’s LibertyGB party has joined forces with FOR BRITAIN. Both Anne Marie and Paul are well-informed, articulate speakers, and FOR BRITAIN is attracting support across the UK.
There are several videos about FOR BRITAIN, and Anne Marie Waters, on YT which can be found very easily. I recommend an interview she did with Simon Harris, which gives a lot of background info. I’m sure you are familiar with Paul Weston’s excellent material.
Sense and Sensibility says
@StellaSaidSo
The trouble is, even if these are worthy people, these breakaway groups have no public profile. I’d never heard of them until now, and know nothing about them, even though I pay quite close attention to the news.
Thus they stand no chance of having any meaningful electoral impact. No matter what anyone thinks of Theresa’s government, it’s the only available alternative to the nightmare of Corbyn.
StellaSaidSo says
Of course mainstream media won’t cover FOR BRITAIN or any other party or individual which does not conform to mainstream orthodoxy. If you are relying on mainstream sources for news, you are not being properly informed. Given that you are in UK, I am surprised that you have not heard of Paul Weston, as he has received some mainstream coverage over the years. To know what is really happening, and to get a range of perspectives on issues, the internet is your best source. FOR BRITAIN is starting from a long way back, but people will always support a party which responds to their concerns. Anne Marie knows that the issue in the forefront of the public mind is Islam, and – unlike the mainstream parties – she is not afraid to talk about it. A political party does not need to win a lot of seats in Parlt to have an impact. When the majors notice that they are losing support to a minor party, they generally act fairly swiftly to address the issues they have been ignoring. All new political parties start small. A few years ago, people said AfD had no chance of making a difference.
Lynne Wright says
They are both fantastic!
StellaSaidSo says
They are indeed a good team, Lynne. I was sorry to see the demise of LibertyGB, but I totally support Paul’s decision, which was based on the idea that we need to pool our resources, and get behind the party and the person who has the best chance of success. Anne Marie is producing weekly videos now, and is about to embark on a speaking tour. Are you in UK?

Jayell says
Labour is the party of the Great Khan of London Town, which is precisely why he currently is the Great Khan ‘of London Town’. With people like him and his sympathisers on board, hearing this sort of thing from Labour should be no surprise. The founding fathers of the party must be turning in their graves.
Sense and Sensibility says
@Jayell
Khan is actually a milder islamist than people like Corbyn and Abbott in Labour’s national leadership.
Focusing on Khan because he’s an actual Muslim is missing the more immediate danger posed by non-Muslim anti-westerners who are more stridently islamist (and anti-semitic) in order to try to attract the votes (and funding) of Muslims. Muslim voters might not feel confident about Labour’s islamic credentials unless Labour advocates hardline islamism, whereas Khan doesn’t need to be so hardline to gain their confidence since he’s actually one of them himself. It’s pretty much the same line of thinking which causes Muslim converts to be more inclined to jihadist violence than born-Muslims – they’re required to prove commitment in order to gain trust and acceptance.
StellaSaidSo says
There is no such thing as a ‘mild Islamist’. Khan is a deceiver. The reason he doesn’t take an obvious hard line is, as you say, because he doesn’t need to – somebody else is taking care of that. But when you consider the number of terrorists he has defended in court, his support of sharia courts in Britain, his failure to condemn practices like FGM and child marriage, and his casual attitude toward jihad attacks (‘part and parcel of living in a big city’), it is hard to think of him as anything other than a savage in the costume of the civilised man.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Strikes me as being a nasty little dictator type. A browner Corbyn in fact. They will both make nice, but not exceptional, tyrants. If only they weren’t trying to do it in a decent western nation.
jewdog says
There are small Islamic parties in Europe, but the British Labour Party is what Islamization looks like. Islam is exerting its influence, far beyond the numbers of Muslims, and this is just the beginning.
Garfield says
Let’s hope not bcs there’s no where left to go…the world is getting smaller by the day. Canada? The phillipeans? You can’t get away from it it seems. Let’s hope enough people realise in time that Islam is a backwards death cult which is a threat to every progress and good ever achieved. Islam is a cult run like a mafia and it serves only to distort and twist normalcy into horror, and to keep people who support it ignorant, violent, deluded and evil.
There is nothing good in Islam. Any scrap of good was stolen from other actual religions!
Islam is a con job, a lie, a criminal enterprise. Its a cancer on humanity. No one needs Islam. It serves NO good purpose
Its book is a fraud, the Koran is not holy.
People can say well there are peaceful Muslims. But they are connected to jihad ,they are deluded, brainwashed, wasting their lives under garbge bags/burkas. If they quit Islam they could worship in a religion of love. But quitting Islam is just renouncing a cult, a gang; quitting Islam is not quitting religion! Quitting islam is escaping a death cult.
We need to stop acting like telling them to stop with their absurd backwards barbarian cult is like saying stop worshipping G0d. We need to stop giving the same respect due to Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism and other normal religions to Islam which is fake, phony, parasitic and evil!
No concessions or respect for a supremacist political ideology. Islam should be nowhere in our schools or government AT ALL.
mortimer says
Labour is devoid of ethics. Hezbolah and the Muslim Brotherhood are both clearly TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS, rather than valid, democratic political movements.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Mr Spencer, tell us how many innocent defenceless civilian population were killed by Hizbullah to qualify as terrorist group. we cannot accept one sided définition of terrorism by evil united states and fascist evil zionist state of Israel. Hizbullah has been protecting territorial intergrity of Lebanon against evil zionist invasion. Ïn fact It was Hizbullah that forced evil zionist state to completely withdraw from Lebanon .All Lebanese,christians and Muslims, are proud of gallant Hizbullah fighters,with exception of zionist /wahhabi evil Isis group working for fascist evîl zionist state of Israel and Hesbullah assisted in oust thé evîl deadly isis from syria .mr Spencer should conduct a random survey on the opinions of Lebanese christians on Hesbullah to confirm.
Westman says
Hezbollah took control of Lebanon from a properly instituted government and is a thug army directed by Iran. The Arab League, the Gulf Cooperation Council, and even the anti-Israel EU declare Hezbollah to be a terrorist organization.
Proper armies are funded by their own governments and don’t run on booty, larceny, and money from foreign governments.
Hezbollah is a criminal and terrorist organization – the mafia of Lebanon.
LeftisruiningCanada says
“how many innocent defenceless civilian population were killed by Hizbullah”
Of course, if a muslim kills someone, they were by definition not innocent, right Ibrahim?
As for your bizarre suggestion that the Lebanese Christians are fans of muslim jihadis, i call utter nonsense. You’ll have to work hard to support that claim.

‘Labour’ is just a name, and the party merely a vehicle, for totalitarians like Corbyn. The Muslim vote is the key to his wining gov’t, and the key to his staying in power, just as the illegal immigrant vote and the black vote are to the Democrats in US. Neither party has a serious interest in improving the lot of their support base – the masses are only useful while they stay on the plantation, and keep delivering votes to their masters.
R Russell says
The debate didn’t come to a vote but Labour made it clear they want terrorism in the UK.
Incidentally the dumbed down UK press hasn’t reported it.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Leftruinigcanada, Go to Lebanon and confirm from Christian population there, which one they prefer between fascist evil zionist supporters like wahhabi/deadly Isis or Hesbullah.To your supprise, you Will find that there are even christians among Hesbullah fighters resisting zionist invasion of their country. Call them jihadi or crusade terrorists, is your own problem, they are less concern. This is also the case in palestine and Syria where idigenous Christian support freedom fighters. This has been happening since the time of European colonisation of Lebanon, syria, Iraq, Egypt, palestine and Jordan. In fact the founder of Arab Nationalism known as Baathiyya (Revival),which gave birth to Bath party in Iraq and Syria, was a Christian. As such indigenous christians are justified to join Hamas or Hesbullah as resistance groups against fascist evîl zionist state of Israel to protect their homelands. That is why isis is targeting indigenous christians on behalf of fascist evil zionist state of Israel.

Doesn’t matter the topic, the imbecile never misses an opportunity to stick-it-to Christians, Jews, and Israel like a broken record …
To be clear, the only thing that’s completely *broken* is islam–it’s evil to the core!

What would really be to my surprise, would be to see Ibrahim including some linked sources to back up his highly doubtful statements.
“the founder of Arab Nationalism known as Baathiyya (Revival),which gave birth to Bath party in Iraq and Syria, was a Christian”
Since you didn’t even bother to include a name, it’s difficult to know who you are referring to. I have an idea, but since i don’t trust your way of defining things, i’m not going to comment further just now.
But, even if the founder was a Christian, that by no means implies that the movement couldn’t not have been later taken over by muslims intent on using the idea for purposes of violent jihad.
CRUSADER says
Christians have been marginalized in Lebanon.
They, under the French example, fell for the liberal concept of political sharing.
But the Muslims wanted it all…. Hizbollah has been hell to liberty there. Just a party of mafia.
BRIGITTE GABRIEL tells a terrific story about how this happened, as she lived through it and escaped
to liberty!!! Because of her experience and how much she cherishes freedom in the West, she started ACT for America…which inspired ACT for Canada, etc….
