German government bans Hezbollah — Interior Ministry

2020-04-30

[DW] German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer on Thursday banned Hezbollah activities in the country, his ministry front man said on Twitter.

He also confirmed that "police measures are underway in several federal states concurrently," and added that even in times of crisis, the "rule of law is able to act."

The police raids are focused on four mosque associations in Berlin, Dortmund, Bremen and Munster accused of belonging to Hezbollah.

Germany has also classified it as a terrorist organization.

HEZBOLLAH IN EUROPE
Authorities estimate around 1,050 people in Germany are active members of the Lebanese bully boy group.

In September, federal prosecutors were given the authority to open criminal cases against members of a foreign terror organization.

Last December, Germany's parliament approved a motion urging the government to ban all Hezbollah activities in the country, citing its "terrorist activities," particularly in Syria.

In 2013, EU foreign ministers banned Hezbollah's military wing but not its political work in Europe. As a result, sanctions can be imposed on its military leaders.

The UK designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization in February last year.

The US and Israel have long applied pressure on Germany to ban the group outright.

ACTIVITIES IN SYRIA AND LEB
Leb

...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

Hezbollah — the Party of God — emerged with the support of Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...

Hezbollah also backs the government of Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab, which took office in January.

The Al-Irshad mosque in Berlin was sealed off with at least 16 police vans parked outside, an AFP photographer saw. Masked police officers were seen walking in and out of the mosque.

#1 The Hezbollah mosque in the German city of Münster posted a shocking video in December, 2018 on Facebook, announcing it was proud of terrorism and pledging allegiance to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute, revealed the video and wrote on its website “Poem Recited in a Münster, Germany Shiite Mosque: We Have Pledged Allegiance to Khamenei; We Are Accused of Terrorism and Are Proud of It .” The transcription from the Imam Mahdi Zentrum Shiite mosque in Münster, in North Rhine-Westphalia, noted a man recited a poem, “We have pledged our allegiance to the Jurisprudent Ruler [Khamenei]. We are soldiers willing to sacrifice our lives for Nasrallah [‘Victory of Allah’]. We belong to the party of Ruhollah [Khomeini]. We have been accused of being terrorists – we are proud of terrorism.
