As confirmed by Hezbollah itself.

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

      « A total of 1,030 people — including 156 women and 87 children — have been killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon in less than two weeks, the country’s health minister said Saturday. » (source)

    • 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

    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.

    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?

    Absolutely awful. He was a good man from all I read. I’m angry and frustrated. It shows the Zionists can and will get to anyone who resists them even someone deep in a bunker of vital importance and top security. It shows the area and the world they are strong and will punish those who challenge them and kill them without any doubt due to their extensive intelligence and infiltration. As they have done with indiscriminate terrorism with the pager attacks.

    And still the resistance does nothing.

    The Zionists have completely decapitated the command structure of Hezbollah and much of Hamas. They’ve murdered top Iranian commanders and still they sit on their hands.

    What are they waiting for? What more could the US do other than inflict itself on civilians harder than the Zionists. They keep saying their response will come but who will plan it? As waiting has allowed the Zionists to kill most of the top leadership everywhere but Yemen. Within 6 months they’ll probably kill another high ranking Iranian because they can. And the genocide of Palestinians will continue. And the bombing of Lebanon into submission will continue.

    It is disgraceful if this great man dies without being avenged, if all those who’ve died in the resistance are not avenged. If the Palestinian genocide is not answered.

      I doubt it. Nothing so far has caused the resistance to lash out. I mean we are seeing escalation but it’s entirely driven by the zionist need to escalate.

      I really doubt Iran is going to get involved, there isn’t going to be WW3, just more little people suffering from the genocidal violence of a white supremacist settler state.
