In a move lauded by Israeli officials as a major diplomatic victory, the European Union has announced that it will list Hezbollah’s military wing as a “terrorist” organization and will add them to the terrorism blacklist.
The decision cited claims of Hezbollah involvement in a 2012 Bulgarian bus bombing, though the current Bulgarian government insists that there is no hard evidence of this, and that the previous government had dramatically overstated their suspicions.
US and Israeli officials are cheering the decision, but it has sparked major concerns in Lebanon, and it remains to be seen how much impact the split listing will have on Hezbollah, or even how it will be handled as a policy matter.
For while Hezbollah has a significant militia, and got its start fighting Israeli occupation forces in southern Lebanon, the group also has a huge political and civil wing as well, and doesn’t formally split itself along those lines.
Hezbollah politicians are a key portion of the Lebanese coalition government, and the EU clearly felt listing Hezbollah as a whole would be damaging to Lebanese stability. In practice, though. the partial listing raises a large measure of uncertainty about who in Hezbollah will be impacted, and whether it will be practical for the EU to do much of anything with this designation.
Ok.., and then what? Is there any European government or privet company working and directly supplying Hezbollah, NO. Is there any European government or opponents of the European government working to Improve the military wing of Hezbollah, NO. Ok…, and then?
Look: you want to boycott the Israelis for their inhuman activities, for disregards to all and every human rights, violation regarding international laws and etc. go ahead be my gusts and boycott Israel for every citrus sold in Europe but named as a Spanish or Moroccan produce and other Israeli producer falsely named and marked as Spanish, Moroccan or Portugal, just don't play a game with the truth of the matter, your going to make a joke of yourself, Europe union.
Now all we need to do is to add the IDF.
Who would have guessed? The Prada-clad €Urof–s succumbing to USraeli pressure and shooting itself in the foot, again.
They still havn´t found out a possible excuse for it´s air-piracy against Bolivia and now this. Do they have any other interests apart from those of the Zionist abomination and neo-liberalism at all?
First the Bulgarian government said that there was evidence to suggest that Hezbollah was responsible, then the Bulgarian government said that the evidence didn't really point to Hezbollah, then there were "colour revolution" demonstrations involving a few thousand young Bulgarians and then the Bulgarian government said that the evidence pointed at Hezbollah. Just a coincidence? Do you want to buy a bridge?
