Page 20 - Britains Stand With Israel - For Zion's Sake

Prevent support
for Hamas, Hezbollah and other
terror groups in the UK
For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalm 1:6
T he UK government has made some clear
progress in recent years to tackle support for terrorist groups. Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, four of the main terrorist organisations that seek the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people, have now been banned in the UK. However, it is important to understand that even though they are outlawed there are still those who continue to support these groups within Britain.
We believe the police should be given appropriate powers
to prosecute those who display support for terrorist groups
in the UK. Whether it be the flying of a flag during a street protest or the expressed support for a group online. Our law enforcement must be equipped with the tools required to tackle the spreading of their hatred.
We also believe Parliament should never be a place where terrorists or their supporters are given a voice.
Too often we see political activists with links to terrorists welcomed into Parliament where they can influence
our elected politicians. Therefore, we are calling on the
government to ensure proper vetting of political activists who are visiting Parliament. We also encourage our government to avoid inviting foreign dignitaries who may be linked with terrorist groups. Having different views and political leanings is one thing; supporting a group that calls for the destruction of another nation is not the same.
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and members of his Shadow Cabinet, Diane Abbott and John McDonnell, all voted against the proscription of Hamas, PIJ and Al Qaeda along with other terrorist organisations in a vote in 2001. And when Hezbollah was outlawed in 2019, the Labour leadership remained silent
on the issue. When given an opportunity in the House of Commons to express support for the ban, the opposition front bench remained silent. This action spoke volumes at the time, especially as Corbyn has previously called Hamas and Hezbollah his “friends”.
We believe the UK government should be clear in their opposition to those who seek the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people.
The UK government has made important steps in the proscription of terror groups.
Parliament should never be a place where terrorists or supporters of terrorism are allowed to visit.
Law enforcement must be equipped with the tools required to tackle support for banned terror groups.
