Hezbollah and IHRC

The proposed ban on Hezbollah announced by the Home Secretary may have implications in Brent, as there is a closely related organisation, the IHRC, based in Wembley in Brent.  It is not entirely clear what the Labour Party position on this is.  An example of the kind of concern the organisation gives rise to in the Jewish community can be found from this article in the Jewish Chronicle

Meanwhile, an open letter has appeared which at last at least acknowledges that antisemitism is a legitimate complaint.  It has taken a very long time to actually happen, but it is better than the previous policy of direct denial.  We shall see if members of the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) find it convincing.
