Hizballah TV Banned from EU Satellites
littlegreenfootballs.com

There’s at least one piece of good news from the European Union, where they have finally blocked the poisonous Hizballah TV channel al-Manar from all European satellites. (Thanks to all who emailed.)

BRUSSELS - Hezbollah’s al-Manar television channel, branded a terrorist organization by the United States, will no longer be available on European satellites from Monday, media regulators said Thursday.

The announcement came at a meeting of European Union broadcasting regulators in Brussels, where national watchdogs from the 25-nation bloc agreed to step up action against TV broadcasts which incite hatred or promote racism and xenophobia.

Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom welcomed the European Union’s decision Thursday. “This is an important step in the struggle against terror,” he said.

If you’d like to see why even the European Union had to acknowledge the revolting nature of al-Manar’s programming (even as they push to legitimize Hizballah as a political entity), MEMRI TV has lots of video clips from the terrorist propaganda channel. It makes Al Jazeera look sane.
