The European union again made a decision that is not worth the paper it is printed on. The Foreign Affairs Council of the European Union has designated the military wing of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
Monday’s decision in Brussels by 28 European foreign ministers does not extend to the political wing of Hezbollah, which is also a political party in Lebanon.
The United States and Israel are among several countries that consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization without differentiating between the group’s military and political wings.
European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton announced the decision at a news conference in Brussels.
“This is partly a political signal and partly a real signal that we are not prepared to see any terrorist activity as means to achieving … political ends, while we want to be clear, too, in our support for political parties of Lebanon and the people of Lebanon,” she said. “We’ve made the distinction clear.”
The decision “does not prevent continuation of dialogue with all political parties,” Ashton added. “We have also agreed that the delivery of legitimate financial transfers to Lebanon and delivery of assistance from the European Union and its member states would not be affected.”
The Hezbollah controls Lebanon. The organizations’ leaedr sheikh Nasralla takes orders from Iran. So is he a politician or terrorist?
The decision of the EU is a shameful one. It was made as a compromise of politicians from the 28 countries that are members of teh EU and is really worth nothing.
The decision was made by people that decided to close their eyes and consider the smell of blood , perfume. This again makes the EU a worthless body when it comes to effecting the world.
