Abstract:

The EU has turned a blind eye toward Hezbollah fundraising and other activities inside Europe. This ostrich-like policy mistakenly accepts the fiction that Hezbollah's "political wing" can be distinguished from its terrorist wing. The EU must designate Hezbollah as a terrorist group and ban its activities.
