As confirmed by Hezbollah itself.

    This is sad, but Lebanese resistance is still pounding isntrael and the entity will fall. The man was immensely unselfish and I am sure he didn’t make the org all about himself. They all know their time on earth is limited.

    Lastly, the Arab kings live to serve imperialism, this man died defending the oppressed. How much of a king is MBS if he has to follow commands from biden and netanyahu like an obedient dog? That’s not a king, that’s a b. They will never get to normalize with israel, because it won’t exist for long.

      I will say, when I see these things translated it does set off the alarm bells I developed being dragged to Southern Baptist services by family.

      Full support to Hezbollah in their fight against “Israel,” but god damn why is it that most of the good guys lately are also religious nuts. In any other situation I’d hear this language and run far the fuck away.

          Except it’s the same “flowery language” my fire and brimstone preacher gave at my grandma’s funeral where he said in the eulogy that my immediate family would burn in hell for not believing.

          Excuse me for having a bit of religious trauma that comes out sometimes

                Exactly, which is why I say, every time I see them translated I’m taken aback. I am very aware that there’s a very different context. It still throws me off when I see it because I (rightly) do not normally think of Hezbollah and the white supremacist preacher as the same and so seeing them use the same language feels super fucking weird.

                I guess this is a better way to say it: Because of my background, those words to me have a white, Christian supremacist implication to them. When I hear people talk like that (in English) it is a very reasonable assumption to make that they’re a psycho that should be avoided at all costs. And that is not the case here, which is why it’s strange.

                I shouldn’t have said “religious nuts” I suppose, that was my bad. Idk, could we maybe translate to synonyms that aren’t exactly how the Christian far-right talks?

                  I noticed that when reading the translated version of the Qur’an, feels completely different than in Arabic

    Does anyone know what the apartment block that was turned to dust was like? Were they luxury condos?

    The worst part of this is that if they retaliate as they should, they would just be playing into the escalation Israel has been scheming to pull the US directly into the war.

      It sucks and is majorly anger inducing that the oppressed have to exercise much more humility, reason, and empathy than our oppressors, lest we be labeled as the problem. I call it “The Minority Paradox”

        Like the scapegoating and slander against any people who whistleblow on the continuing concentration camps, continue lands thief to create ‘natural parks’, violence by white rapists, and slender against any Indigenous First Nation People of North America who demand the return to traditional gender equality or the reparation for fake school death camps?

      I really wish people would stop acting like they know strategy better than the leaders of entire militaries. Iran isnt standing by they are actively producing weapons and sending them to various areas in conflict. Just because they arent starting a full blown regional war doesnt mean they are twiddling their thumbs.

      Everyday this war is delayed is a day that China, and Iran are better prepared for it. Why do you think the US pushes for it so blatantly? They know the sooner it starts the better for them.

      Everyday they manufacture more munitions, build more defences. They are going to be besieged in this war they need to be prepared for it. This isnt a war with Israel its a war with The USA, and yes everyday The US’s dog Israel kills more innocents and that is a travesty, but we must look at the big picture. This isn’t the time to be ruled by emotion but the time to let pragmatic military strategy rule decision making. The war is coming, but Iran would be foolish to act now. It would turn the world against them. Instead allowing Israel to continue to be the agressor means that once Iran is inevitably drawn into things they can be in a better position internationally. It will mean a better outcome for everyone long term.

      Not to mention that if Iran is directly involved they can no longer supply munitions to other groups. As theyd be using them. This way they can supply Hezbollah, Russia, etc and their factories cannot be targeted as they are in neutral lands. Plus im sure there are other things they do that we arent even aware of. Lets stop armchair strategizing and focus on what we can all do to stop these slaughters ourselves. BDS is something anyone anywhere can do. Not just Israeli goods but American ones too. It might not be much when done alone but together it does have an impact.
