The French Broadcasting Authorities (CSA) on Wednesday complied with a recommendation by the French government to ban Hizbullah's al-Manar satellite television from broadcasting in France.

On July 12 of this year, the French Ministry of Interior sent an advisory memo to the CSA recommending al-Manar's transmission via the European satellite operator Eutelsat be "immediately terminated due to their anti-Semitic content."

Very good move on the part of France. The French deserve proper credit for this position.

Now they need to stop meetings between the French President and the Hizbullah leader, and France needs to stop acting as the Hizbullah's diplomatic arm at the EU.

Hizbullah is a terrorist organization responsible for unspeakable acts of terror against Israeli civilians, and is also responsible for the suicide bombing that murdered nearly 250 Americans in Beirut.

Unfortunately, France, while banning anti-Semitic broadcasts, still supports Hizbullah as an organization, allowing the Islamic terror group to conduct business freely and to move money through the French banking system. The money goes directly to fund the terrorism that France supports.
