The annual al-Quds march promotes support for terrorism, yet the British government doesn’t see any cause to call the questionable protest off.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The United Kingdom\u2019s home secretary rejected in early September London Mayor Sadiq Khan\u2019s request to ban the annual al-Quds Day march because it is a pro-Hezbollah demonstration that promotes antisemitism and support for terrorism.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe group that reportedly organized the parade, the Islamic Human Rights Commission, is not a proscribed terrorist organization. This means they can express their views and demonstrate, provided that they do so within the law,\u201d wrote Home Secretary Amber Rudd in a letter to Khan that was first published Monday on the website of The Jewish Chronicle<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the London newspaper, a source close to Khan said he was \u201cextremely disappointed\u201d that the Home Secretary will allow the al-Quds Day march to continue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rudd said: \u201cThe flag for the [Hezbollah] organization\u2019s military wing is the same as the flag for its political wing. Therefore, for it to be an offense under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act of 2000, for an individual to display the Hezbollah flag, the context and manner in which the flag is displayed must demonstrate that it is specifically in support of the proscribed elements of the group.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The United Kingdom banned Hezbollah\u2019s entire military structure in 2008. The UK government said at the time: \u201cHezbollah\u2019s military wing also provides support to Palestinian terrorist groups in the occupied Palestinian territories, such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The UK permits Hezbollah\u2019s so-called political wing to legally operate in England. The European Union proscribed only Hezbollah\u2019s military wing as a terrorist organization in 2013. In February of that year, Bulgaria\u2019s government charged Hezbollah\u2019s military wing with executing a terrorist attack against Israelis at the seaside resort town of Burgas, committing the murders of five Israelis and their Bulgarian bus driver. Another 32 Israelis were injured in the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Netherlands, the US and Canada have designated Hezbollah\u2019s entire organization a foreign terrorist entity.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jewish Chronicle reported that Andrew Dismore, a Labour Party London Assembly member, said: \u201cI have spent over a decade campaigning for the complete proscription of Hezbollah, as I believe the distinction made between the \u2018political\u2019 and \u2018military\u2019 wings to be utterly bogus.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mayor Khan wrote in his July letter to Rudd that extremist groups were \u201cexploiting a loophole\u201d because they carried Hezbollah\u2019s flags.<\/span>
\n \u201cHezbollah is an illegal, proscribed organization, yet many perceive that it was actively celebrated during the Al Quds Day march,\u201d Khan wrote, adding, \u201cI would appreciate a response from the government that acknowledges the hurt that is felt and your plans to close any loophole.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
