Israel Killed The Man Who Beat ISIS And Saved Christians
Editor’s comment: According to this analysis by Ben Norton of the Geopolitical Economy Report, Israel just murdered Hassan Nasrallah, “who defended Lebanon’s sovereignty, helped to defeat ISIS and Al-Qaeda, protected Christians, and fought against Israeli colonialism and military occupation.” Why aren’t Biden and Harris defending Nasrallah? Is this more Israeli land-grab? [Don]

“Israel has assassinated Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of the Lebanese anti-colonialist, Islamic-nationalist movement Hezbollah.
“Under Nasrallah’s leadership, Hezbollah defended Lebanon’s sovereignty. The movement was itself born out of the resistance against Israel’s illegal invasion and military occupation of southern Lebanon in the 1980s and ‘90s.
[…]
“When Netanyahu was introduced at the UN, large numbers of foreign diplomats walked out in protest. There was so much pandemonium in the chamber that the UNGA president shouted “Order, please!” and banged a gavel to try to silence the protesters.
“While Netanyahu was at the UN, the Israeli regime was brutally bombing Lebanon, killing nearly 500 people in one day.
“Many observers have wondered what Israel’s goals are in Lebanon.
“Israel’s minister of diaspora affairs, Amichai Chikli, made it clear in a Twitter/X post. He asserted that Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq are not sovereign countries, and he insisted that Israel should colonize southern Lebanon, just like it did throughout the 1980s and ‘90s.
“Major Israeli newspaper the Jerusalem Post published an article arguing that Lebanon is “part of Israel’s promised territory”, and should therefore be colonized.”
As Ben explains, many Lebanese Christians are mourning Nasrallah’s death.
By the way, notice too (as Ben points out) that the U.S. was allied with Al-Qaeda (!!) and against Hezbollah in Syria.
