(The Times-UK) Editorial - A terrorist organization is what Hizbullah is and has always been. Nearly 20 years ago it and its Iranian allies were involved in the worst anti-Jewish atrocities in recent history when first the Israeli Embassy and then a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires were bombed. Hizbullah has declared itself to be irreconcilable to the existence of the State of Israel and committed to attacks on Israelis anywhere in the world. Locally it has acted as a proxy for both the Syrian and Iranian regimes, receiving money and weapons from both in return for favors, such as its complicity in the assassination of the anti-Syrian former Lebanese Prime Minister, Rafik Hariri, in 2005. Hizbullah continues to violate every international law. Today it doubtless plans new attacks of the Burgas variety - in which British citizens could easily be the next to die - while intervening in the Syrian civil war on the side of the tyrant Assad. In the wake of the Bulgarian report revealing who was responsible for murdering the Israeli visitors to Bulgaria, there can surely be no more hesitation by the EU in declaring Hizbullah to be a murderous gang to whom the message must be clear: you can make peace or you can make war, but you cannot do both.
