Petition Proscribe Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation in its entirety in the UK

There is a legal loophole in the UK that allows the flag of Hezbollah, an organisation that hates the West, is anti-Semitic and perpetrates international acts of terror, to be flown in Britain because only Hezbollah’s military wing is proscribed by the Government but not its supposed political wing.

However, even Hezbollah’s own leadership does not differentiate between the two. Speaking in October 2012, Hezbollah's Deputy Secretary General Naim Qassem stated: "We don't have a military wing and a political one; we don't have Hezbollah on one hand and the resistance party on the other."

This petition calls upon Home Secretary Amber Rudd to once and for all listen to Hezbollah themselves and proscribe Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation in its entirety in the UK.
