25. Hezbollah Attempted to Ban The Diary of Anne Frank For Portraying Jews Positively
Lebanese militant Shi’a political party Hezbollah attempted to ban The Diary of Anne Frank in their original manifesto. They tried to argue that the diary portrayed Judaism, Jews, Israel and Zionism in a positive light, all of which are antithetical to Hezbollah’s political ideology. Since its inception, Hezbollah has argued for the elimination of the state of Israel and dedicated itself to fighting the “Zionist occupation” of Israel.
