Notes to Editors
Hizballah are an antisemitic terrorist
organisation…
-
The Anti Defamation League have described Hizbollah as
a ‘terrorist organization, based in Lebanon, whose goal is the
destruction of Israel’. ‘Hizbollah (“Party of
G-d”) is a terrorist organization, based in Lebanon, whose goal
is the destruction of Israel. In that pursuit it has attacked
Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide’
(ADL, accessed 26 February 2019, link).
-
Leader of Hizbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, has said that
Jews are ‘despicable, weak and feeble in
psyche’. ‘If we searched the entire world for a
person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche,
mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the
Jew. Notice I do not say the Israeli’ (Jerusalem
Post, 12 November 2012, link).
-
Hassan Nasrallah has said that Jews living in Israel
‘saves us the trouble of going after them
worldwide’. ‘If they [the Jews] all gather in
Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them
worldwide ‘(Jewish Chronicle, 23 August
2018, link).
-
Hassan Nasrallah indicated that he believed the
Holocaust never happened. ‘Even our enemies – the
Zionists, or the world Zionist movement... I do not want to
have a debate now about the Holocaust, but they talk about a
holocaust, and they have written books, conducted research, and
made films. Even some Arab TV channels show programs about
this... They insert this issue into every movie, even when it
has nothing to do with this – a political movie, a social
movie, a movie about... In any foreign entertainment and
recreation movie they insert the Holocaust. They have built
Holocaust museums in several capitals around the world.
Wherever you go, there is a Holocaust museum. Regardless of
whether this Holocaust was real or not, accurate or not, and
what its proportions were... I don’t want to get into this’
(MEMRI, 20 May 2010, link).

· has allowed anti-Jewish
racism to grow unchecked in the . Corbyn has
consistently failed to deliver on his promise to deal with all
cases of antisemitism, meaning the police are currently
investigating antisemitism within Labour and MPs have quit the

Even ex-Labour MPs think would threaten our country’s
national security…

Shadow Chancellor said ’s policies would ‘threaten
national security’. ‘The pursuit of policies that
would threaten our national security through hostility to NATO,

services’ (The Independent Group Press

February 2019).

for Israel’ means he is not ‘fit’ to be Prime Minister of our
country’ (Twitter, 19 February 2019, link).
