The heartening recent story of the U.K.’s decision to ban the terror group Hezbollah in its entirety, and to freeze all of its financial assets, is here.
The UK government announced on January 17 that it would add the entirety of Hezbollah — Iran’s Shi’a proxy based in Lebanon — to its list of terrorist groups that are subject to asset freezing, drawing a line under its earlier position that sanctions against Hezbollah should apply only to its “military wing” and not its so-called “political wing.”
The claim that there is some meaningful kind of separation between the “political wing” and the “military wing” of Hezbollah has been repeatedly shown to be false. In its operations, Hezbollah itself makes no such distinction. As Hezbollah’s deputy secretary general, Naim Qassem, Nasrallah’s second-in-command, has said:
“We don’t have a military wing and a political one; we don’t have Hezbollah on one hand and the resistance party on the other…. Every element of Hezbollah, from commanders to members as well as our various capabilities, is in the service of the resistance, and we have nothing but the resistance as a priority.”
Many Hezbollah officials function in both military and political roles. The Shura Council, Hezbollah’s highest decision-making body, is made up of representatives of the organization’s military, political, and social institutions.
Members of the “political” wing of Hezbollah show up at military parades. Military men are involved in deciding how funds should be raised and spent, including for non-terrorist purposes such as propaganda. Those who serve as propagandists, fundraisers, and political figures (as members, for example, of the Lebanese parliament) within Hezbollah also help decide on targets for terrorism. These people share the same goals as those who plant bombs, build terror tunnels, lob missiles at Israeli civilians, kidnap and kill Israeli soldiers. On the financial level, Hezbollah’s social and political institution are used to raise and funnel money that fund the organization’s military activities – that is, its terrorist attacks. Money raised by fundraisers in the “political wing” of the terrorist group of course goes to pay for weapons used by those in the so-called “military wing.” Those Hezbollah members who defend the group’s activities do so in furtherance of its terrorist activities, and in their aims are indistinguishable from those who fire the guns and plant the explosives..
On the organizational level, many seemingly innocuous social and political institutions in fact serve as conduits for terrorist activity. An example of this is the Foreign Relations Department (FRD), which is officially responsible for maintaining relations between Hezbollah and the Lebanese-Shiite Diaspora. The FRD plays a crucial role in supporting and promoting Hezbollah’s terror activities abroad through recruitment, funding, and dissemination of propaganda.
The American government long ago understood, as Secretary Pompeo noted after hearing of the U.K.’s decision, that “there is no distinction between Hezbollah’s political arm and its military arm.” In 1995, it declared a ban on all of Hezbollah. The United Kingdom was the first government to attempt to make a distinction between Hezbollah’s political and military wings, declaring only the latter a terrorist group in July 2008. So the U.K.’s declaration that such a distinction makes no sense is particularly significant.
It is disturbing that when, on July 22, 2013, the European Union agreed to blacklist Hezbollah’s military wing, it did so not because of the many terrorist attacks by the group against Israel, but over concerns about its growing role in the Syrian conflict. This is one more example of how unsympathetic toward Israel many European states have proven to be.
Had Jeremy Corbyn won the U.K. election, there is little doubt that not only would his government not have banned the “political” wing of Hezbollah, but that it would likely have removed the ban on the “military” wing as well. Corbyn, after all, has attended services honoring Arab terrorists at a cemetery in Lebanon; he has described members of Hamas and Hezbollah as his “friends.” Thankfully, that most pro-Israel member of Boris Johnson’s cabinet, Sajid Javid – a Muslim in name only who spent his honeymoon in Israel – is now Chancellor of the Exchequer and was in a position to push for the Hezbollah ban, which will include an important financial component – that is, seizing Hezbollah assets in the U.K.
The U.S. and Israel were the first to ban Hezbollah without distinguishing between its so-called separate wings. They have been followed by the members of the Arab League, the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Argentina, Paraguay, the Netherlands, Australia, Venezuela (the Guaido government), Honduras, and, as of January 17, the U.K. Germany, France, and the E.U. , on the other hand, continue to maintain the fiction of separate political and military wings, and ban only the former. That means that Hezbollah is still allowed, through its so-called “political wing,” to raise money within the E.U. that will certainly be used to pay for terrorist activities.
A statement from the UK Treasury said that the new designation “aligns with the decision made last year by the Chancellor — when Home Secretary — to proscribe the entire organization.”
Last February, Sajid Javid — who was then Home Secretary and is now Chancellor of the Exchequer in Boris Johnson’s recently-elected Conservative government — announced that Hezbollah in its entirety would be designated as a terror entity.
“Hezbollah is continuing in its attempts to destabilize 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,” Javid said at the time. “Because of this, I have taken the decision to proscribe the group in its entirety.”…
Arthur Stark, chairman, and Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman and CEO, of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, said, “We applaud the decision of the government of the United Kingdom to designate the political arm of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.”…
“This important action by the UK follows the Bundestag’s recent overwhelming vote in favor of banning Hezbollah within Germany,” Stark and Hoenlein added. “We strongly encourage other countries to act against Hezbollah.”
The vote in the Bundestag was a non-binding resolution, and Merkel’s government has made clear that it has no intention of banning Hezbollah’s “political wing.” There are more than 1,000 Hezbollah operatives in Germany at this moment spreading propaganda, and raising funds; Merkel insists that they be left alone. But perhaps now that the U.K. has taken such a strong step, it will put more pressure on the government to accept the Bundestag’s proposal.
The U.K. is a very important source of funds and recruitment for Hezbollah, and this total ban on its activities will hit the terrorist group very hard. And if the British example is emulated by Germany, a bigger player, and economy, on the world stage, that will also damage Hezbollah efforts at recruitment and funding.
Meanwhile, the collapse of Iran’s economy has led to severe cuts in Iranian support for Hezbollah. Iran’s catastrophic situation is clear: its oil revenues have declined by 90% in the last two years; the rial has decreased in value by two-thirds in the last year; the inflation rate is 42%. Iran cannot afford the subsidies that it used to give to Hezbollah. So the terrorist group has had to rely on the contributions of rich Shi’a in the West, on what Hezbollah members involved in the cocaine and heroin trade from South America to Europe can bring in, and even – a clear sign of its desperation — made use of those donation cans placed in Shi’a-owned stores for small contributions. Reports have emerged from Lebanon about Hezbollah fighters complaining that their salaries have been slashed and they cannot feed their families ; some have quit in desperation. Morale is very low in and cannot improve unless Iran can once again help fund the group, which now seems impossible. The Iranian protesters, after all, are enraged at the amounts their government has already used in foreign adventurism. Among their chants: “No to Lebanon” and “No to Palestine” express that fury.
Hezbollah’s proudest recent achievement has been the digging of very deep terror tunnels from Lebanon far into Israel. Millions of dollars were spent on this undertaking. But every single one of those tunnels has been blown up by the Israelis. Worse still for Hezbollah, the Israelis have started to build a network of underground seismic and acoustic sensors all along the border with Lebanon that will allow Israel to detect tunnel building by its fighters just as it begins..
Hezbollah’s military wing has now been banned nearly universally; and more countries are joining the U.S. in banning both wings – the military and the political – of the group as indistinguishable; the U.K. is the latest, and the most important, state so far to have followed America’s lead.
In the streets of Lebanon, protesters who for months have been denouncing the government and the corrupt political elite, have not spared Hezbollah, which they rightly regard as helping to prop up the current government. Hezbollah has lost its former sheen as the leader of the so-called “resistance” (to Israel), and is now seen as one more corrupt group that wants to hold onto power through its members and sympathizers in the Lebanese cabinet.
For Hezbollah, nothing is going right. Not with the terror tunnels that have been blown up, not with the money from Iran that has dried up, not with the loyalty of those of its fighters who now want out,, not with the vanishing support from those Lebanese who have had quite enough of Hezbollah.
The noose tightens. And it’s a long drop.

Took there sweet time about it!! Should have happened ages ago. Also long over due….. reactivate the 00’s !!
Walter Sieruk says
Those poor brainwashed Muslims who are thoroughly mind programmed by the at mullahs and imams to the extent that they can’t even think for themselves .Furthermore, that Islamic terror entity Hezbollah with their jihadist scheming to destroying the State of Israel and replacing her with some kind of Islamic “state” is an Islamic agenda that is fated to fail in the end.
For all of such Muslim schemes and effort will come nothing in the end. The reason is that all their plots and striving against the State of Israel are all lose in the end .This is because Hezbollah is greatly overruled by the God of the Bible. Who is the Supreme and Ultimate supporter of Israel. As reflected in the following verses of the Bible. “A man’s heart may be full of schemes, but the Lord‘s purpose will prevail.” Proverbs 19:21. [N.E.B.] Also, Psalm 135:4. This informs the reader that “The Lord has chosen Jacob to be His own and Israel His special treasure.”
Frank Anderson says
W.S. do I understand correctly that for a “faithful” to “think for himself” would be prohibited as reform, blasphemy or apostasy? Just as joy and laughter have no place in islam, free thought is equally to be avoided “in this life”. If I understand, the word “islam” means “submission”, which to me means unthinking robotic mindless slave. What do you think?
elee says
See K 33:37, 81:30, 16:108, and 5:102. Islam does not rely on individual reasoning or persuasion to enforce obedience. These are western ideas. A Muslim, if he has any opinions of his own, recognises that they are dangerous and does his best not to think them and pays zakat…….an eighth of which is earmarked to support jihad.
Frank Anderson says
elee, thank you. That agrees with what I have read. Does that seem to call into question the proposal to deprogram when that would necessarily involve independent individual thought? Any “believer” who would dare to think for himself in the process of considering the teachings of islam is already an apostate, subject to the death penalty by anyone who wishes to enforce sharia. Blind, unquestioning obedience or death. (sarc) What a wonderful choice?
elee says
Well, FA, I for one am pretty skeptical about this deprogramming business. Id suggest you ask mortimer (lower case on all posts here) about your concerns. He seems to be an eternal optimist about this stuff, and he probably knows a lot ore about it than I do. And if I got mortimers gender wrong, my apologies, without any additional info Im assuming the name is masculine.
Frank Anderson says
elee, I consider Mortimer a friend who really knows a lot. He and I have different views and expectations on the narrow subject of deprogramming. I have been among about 25 trades and professions a lawyer for almost 40 years. If deprogramming had any chance of success, it would have been used for decades, even centuries on child molesters and abusers. It hasn’t. If I required that my friends agreed with me on every subject, I would be alone and friendless. I hope enough can be learned about deprogramming to either show it works or move on to other possibilities that have some chance. My most sincere respect to you and Mortimer.

yiyoya says
“Man’s mind is his basic means of survival—and of self-protection. Reason is the most SELFISH human faculty: it has to be used in and by a man’s own mind, and its product—truth—makes him inflexible, intransigent, impervious to the power of any pack or any ruler. Deprived of the ability to reason, man becomes a docile, pliant, impotent chunk of clay, to be shaped into any subhuman form and used for any purpose by anyone who wants to bother.
There has never been a philosophy, a theory or a doctrine that attacked (or “limited”) reason, which did not also preach submission to the power of some authority. Philosophically, most men do not understand the issue to this day; but psycho-epistemologically, they have sensed it since prehistoric times. Observe the nature of mankind’s earliest legends—such as the fall of Lucifer, “the light-bearer,” for the sin of defying authority; or the story of Prometheus, who taught men the practical arts of survival. Power-seekers have always known that if men are to be made submissive, the obstacle is not their feelings, their wishes or their “instincts,” but their minds; if men are to be ruled, then the enemy is reason….
A rational mind does not work under compulsion; it does not subordinate its grasp of reality to anyone’s orders, directives, or controls; it does not sacrifice its knowledge, its view of the truth, to anyone’s opinions, threats, wishes, plans, or “welfare.” Such a mind may be hampered by others, it may be silenced, proscribed, imprisoned, or destroyed; it cannot be forced; a gun is not an argument. (An example and symbol of this attitude is Galileo.)” – Ayn Rand
“Thinking is a delicate, difficult process, which man cannot perform unless knowledge is his goal, logic is his method, and the judgment of his mind is his guiding absolute. Thought requires SELFISHNESS, the fundamental selfishness of a rational faculty that places nothing above the integrity of its own function.
A man cannot think if he places something—anything—above his perception of reality. He cannot follow the evidence unswervingly or uphold his conclusions intransigently, while regarding compliance with other men as his moral imperative, self-abasement as his highest virtue, and sacrifice as his primary duty. He cannot use his brain while surrendering his sovereignty over it, i.e., while accepting his neighbors as its owner and term-setter.” – Leonard Peikoff
Frank Anderson says
yiyoya, as I understand, survival is NOT a goal of islam. Particularly in contrast with Judaism and Christianity, death is the goal.
The First Mitzvah in Judaism is that “All rules bend as necessary for the preservation of life” based on the passage, “Let there be life”. About 1000 years ago a famous Rabbi, called Maimonides, collected 613 Mitzvot (plural of Mitzvah, commandment or instruction) from the Torah, the first 5 Books of the Bible. He ranked them according to their importance, which ranking is widely accepted and taught in Jewish circles.
I read here on Jihad Watch how imams repeatedly teach that joy and happiness have no place among “believers”. Believers live to die and spread islam. That shows volumes about the absence of thought and self-value among “followers”.
gravenimage says
Thanks, yiyoya. Islam is the opposite of reason.
Walter Sieruk says
To Mr. Anderson, you ask What I think ? How about what I actually know. First , many people who make up American public has been given the lie by the many propagandists for Islam that the word Islam means “peace.” We both know that’s a total falsehood . We both know and understand the the word Islam mean “submission .”
Second . as for what you keyboarded that in Islam their is no place for “joy and laughter.” That statement of your is likewise true.
For example , Ayatollah Khomeini had declared “The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam . There can be no…joy in whatever is serious.” [1]

Westman says
Any army, uncontrolled by the citizens it claims to protect, is a parasite that ultimately brings death and destruction upon the citizens. How many parasite armies has Islam(“religion of peace”) spawned since 1948? Would their names fill a page, or, a book?
Will the UK actually follow rhetoric against Hezbollah with action – stopping Hezbollah recruitment and fundraising, followed by jailing or deporting the noncompliant?
elee says
Islam is a parasite, as are a huge portion of Muslim immigrants. Perhaps another poster here can readily quote and cite a few of the many many acknowledged and revered Muslim authorities who have been clear on this point. Kafirs and dhimmis work, produce and invest. Muslims collect jizya. Consider the oil-rich Muslim countries, where work is done by imported Asians. Tired of working for a living? Convert, practise jihad, load up on welfare and consider it jizya, rape kafirs in this world and look forward to your 70 virgins in the world to come.
Demsci says
“//Any army, uncontrolled by the citizens it claims to protect, is a parasite that ultimately brings death and destruction upon the citizens”//
Well said Westman. Indeed, many Lebanese, even Shiites, possibly some of Hezbollah’s own members, may well now realize that Hezbollah is more loyal to foreign co-religionists (the Iranians) than to compatriots. And that that is detrimental to their own country.
It is the same in Iraq. A big part of the young population thinks the same about the pro-Iranian militia, the PMU; Popular Mobilization Units.
In both Lebanon and Iraq the economy goes bad and Hezbollah and PMU are probably siphoning money or wealth, in divers ways, off in favor or even towards Iran. At the same time, Hezbollah and PMU are not held accountable by their own governments and that almost inevitably must lead to corruption.
The governments in both countries may be described as “Manchurian candidates for Iran”. Especially disadvantageous because Iran, because of US sanctions and efforts of dodging them, is so dependent on Lebanon and Iraq. Iran drags the other countries with it in. It’s fall.
Muslims and especially Shiites in Lebanon and Iraq are learning the hard way that “you have to build and maintain your country” with your COMPATRIOTS, not with your foreign co-religionists! But I think Islam teaches that loyalty to Islam trumps everything. Well, now let those who believe this, pay for it.
No Muzzies Here says
It’s a terror group, and a political party. The name means Party of God.
Anybody who thinks that Islam is just a religion is stupid.
elee says
Fine……as far as it goes. Now how about all the feeders fronts imams and purported charitable foundations that fuel the actual Hezballah? And all the considerable costs of investigating and neutralising these criminal enterprises should be charged to jihadis in sentencing with joint and several liability for all parties. And since—as appears in another thread here—Britain has real trouble tracking the known jihadi convicts that its penal system has seen fit to parole, conditions of parole for any and all jihadis should include paying the entire costs of their supervision and surveillance. Every penny exacted from them is a penny that doesnt get invested in the next domestic Muslim atrocity.
Hugh Fitzgerald says
I’ve always loved that phrase, elee — “joint and several liability.” I’d love it even more if it were observed as you suggest. And you another very good idea: as a condition of parole, those who 1) call themselves Muslims which 2) means that we are entitled to conclude that they follow the more than 100 Qur’anic verses that call for violent Jihad which requires 3)”supervision and surveillance.” as 4) ordinary criminals do not and therefore 5) the Muslims suspected of terrorism –whether through direct participation, or through financial support, or propaganda on behalf of Islamic terrorism — should be required to pay for that “supervision and surveillance.”
Frank Anderson says
H.F. I treasure your writing here.
“joint and several liability” applies generally to private civil actions for damages.
I have explained that islam meets every element required to be a criminal conspiracy under US law. An excellent detailed explanation can be found written by the trial judge in United States v. Gary Greenough, available by online search.
Under the law of conspiracy, both civil (private parties) and criminal, the knowledge of one is the knowledge of all; the acts of one are the acts of all.
Under 18 United States Code Section 2, anyone who aids, abets, counsels or acts in furtherance of a federal crime is equally guilty. Any number of people are equally guilty for the act of one.
I wish you well.
James Lincoln says
Frank Anderson,
Much thanks for your explanation regarding “joint and several liability.”
Now if it could only be used to bring down the criminal conspiracy of islam…(No cap intentional)
Frank Anderson says
James I have been studying the issues of criminal conspiracy since 1982. Several lawyers, including a US Attorney (who was one of my professors in law school), have agreed with my research. I think it is a matter of getting the “right” people with the resources and time to enforce existing law. It could be that distraction from protecting the Constitution is the major motivation for the never-ending war against the first President to stand up for the United States in clear terms. Democrats continue to pursue their myriad sham “investigations” because they want the country to fall.
The “old” law, 18 USC Sections 1503 and 1505, using identical language, prohibited “any corrupt endeavor [whether successful or not] to harass, oppress or intimidate a federal victim, witness or party”. Trump and his administration are both witnesses and parties to just about every federal proceeding. The “new” law recodifies, takes in and expands, the “old” law in 18 USC Section 1512, to cover every federal proceeding. But, as I have written many times, find a prosecutor who can obtain the permission of the Attorney General to handle the case.
I have many cases cited and would be pleased to share those cites if you wish. Or you can start in the US Code Annotated or US Code Service with those statutes and find hundreds of cases, most of which I have read.
James Lincoln says
Much thanks for your kind reply, Frank.
I will start by looking at your cited references.
As always, best wishes.
Frank Anderson says
James, 2 particular cases were important in my research on the point that Section 1512 did not make previously criminal conduct under 1503 and 1505 lawful. United States v. Brand, 775 F.2d 1460 (11th Cir. 1985), and United States v. Wesley, 748 F.2d 962 (5th Cir. 1984), cert den, 471 U.S. 1130 (1985). Those are 2 of the more or less 100 cases I cited in research and litigation, with not one case ever being cited to the contrary. Be sure to start your reading with 1503/5 statutes and cases for best information. Frank
elee says
Be aware however that the Greenough case that you cited was apparently reversed, arguably on different grounds, on appeal. Sorry I didnt note the citation but i I remember rightly the appellate opinion began with 782 F3d if you access via Google search. I havent read the trial court opinion yet so no further analysis here yet.
Frank Anderson says
elee, please look at the trial court opinion at 609 F.Supp 1090, 1094 (S.D. Ala. 1985) for the description of conspiracy. The appeal court decision is found at 782 F.2d 1556, 1559 (5th Cir. 1986). It looks like Greenough was convicted, appealed to the 5th Circuit while the split from the 11th Circuit was in progress, and the conviction was Affirmed. When I was doing my research in 1991-92, the appeal case was shown as a 5th Circuit docket.
I included in my paper, Nuremberg Rule in the Workplace, three excerpts from the trial opinion, which appears to be upheld by the appeal:
1. “In order to be convicted of aiding and abetting, a defendant must associate himself with the venture, participate in it as something he wishes to bring about, and seek by this action to make it successful.” quoting United States v. Carter, 721 F.2d 1514, 1533 (11th Cir. 1984).
2. “[W]here a defendant has conspired in a scheme to defraud others, a jury could find that he expected and encouraged the individual communications which constituted the substantive offenses, and would make the defendant an aider and abettor under the substantive counts.” [page 1095].
3. “It is well established that
[t]he elements of a conspiracy . . . are: (1) an agreement between two or more persons, (2) an unlawful purpose, and (3) an overt act committed by one of the conspirators in furtherance of the conspiracy . . .The existence of the conspiracy can be proved by inference evidence. . .Direct evidence of an agreement to join a criminal conspiracy is rare, so a defendant’s assent can be inferred from acts furthering the conspiracy’s purpose. The government is not required to prove that each alleged conspirator knew all the details of the conspiracy; it is enough to establish that a defendant knew the essentials of the conspiracy . . .that the defendant intended to join or associate himself with the objective of the conspiracy . . . even if he did not join it until after its inception, and even if he played only a minor role in the total scheme.” [pages 1093-94]
I and my mentors who reviewed my paper believe this is a correct statement of the law. This has never been contradicted in any litigation that followed over the next number of years. Thank you for your note. Please see if changes have taken place if you wish.
Clive Delmonte says
This is excellent news. Since it is now a banned organisation, the UK should publish details of its financial assets held in the UK. This should make Hezbollah’s supporters happy when they are able to see how much of their money transfers are piling up and cannot be used.
Ray Jarman says
It must be made known to every voter in America (and even Canada where it seems that they are also celebrities) that both of the Muslims in the House of Representatives have tried to introduce bills in Congress with their barmaid comrade from New York that would remove the terrorist designation from both Hamas and Hezbollah. Sanders has sided with them and publicly renounced the killing of Soleimani. Every candidate on the left has proclaimed their wish to open the doors that presently block the invasion of terrorists and maleficent low lives from around the world.
James Lincoln says
Ray Jarman,
During the run up to the last US presidential election, I thought that Bernie Sanders was merely a clueless socialist who wanted to give away free stuff, etc.
I now believe that he is pure evil – personified…

Could give renewed impetus to civil war in Lebanon. Maybe Sunnis could gain the upper hand there now. In any case, they will be baying for each other’s blood, that’s for sure. Like everywhere else in the vicinity. I can imagine Hezbollah’s leadership already breaking up a cold sweat from the anticipation. We’re going to see some interesting developments in the ME, either way. The stakes are high.
eduardo odraude says
Merkel seems always to be dunderheaded on these issues. An incredibly stupid woman.

There may be another explanation regarding Merkel’s actions.
Maybe not so much stupid, but actually evil.

Hezbollah: The Noose Tightens
………………..
I hope so, Mr. Fitzgerald. But as other posters note, there are also many–including Muslims who have infiltrated our own governments–working *for* Hezbollah and their ilk.
Tony Naim says
Iran has been pumping Hizballa with cash, weapons, military assistance since 1982-the Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
George HW Bush sold the Christians of Lebanon out to the Assad family of Syria in 1990- at the end of the Cold War.
Had the Christians had half the support from the US, like Hizballa received from Iran, it would not have been such a magnificent organization.
With all the economic pressure exerted by the trump administration on Iran and by extension on Hizballa,
the latter still controls the government of Lebanon.
I am afraid Hizballa can only be dealt with militarily.
Infidel says
If Iranian money dries out, combined w/ a collapse in Hizbullah’s support from Lebanese shi’a as has been happening lately, Hizbullah would collapse on its own
