He was a terrorist

Hasan Nasrallah is dead.

Hasan Nasrallah is dead. Just like the death of Osama Bin Laden or Adolf Hitler, you would expect that few international events would bring the world together in solidarity like the death of an evil murderous leader of a militant Shia Islamist movement. But once again, since we seem to be living in the upside down world—you would be wrong.

Tens of thousands joined demonstrated in Iranian cities and in the rebel-held Yemeni capital to condemn Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Gaza.

True to current form, the anti-Israel brigade have come out in force to frame the death of an evil terrorist as something other than it was—a brilliant targeted attack on a man that was largely responsible for the militarisation and rise of Hezbollah and the death of many.

You might ask what Hezbollah was even doing getting involved in the conflict between Israel and Gaza an why they have been relentlessly bombing her every day for almost a year. Good question. The history, much like Israel’s other Arab islamic neighbours, follows the same pattern. Broken down into a simple sentence, it goes like this. Arab terrorists invade or attack Israel, Israel responds with force, the whiny terrorists accuse Israel of trying to take their land and play the victim. Repeat.

Since October 7, Hezbollah have torched Northern Israel, with over 300 homes damaged, thousands of hectares of land destroyed, as of the end of June 2024, close to 90,000 Israelis remain internally displaced. In July, a Hezbollah missile killed 12 Druze children and injured about 30 more in Golan Heights. Of course media coverage of any of this has been sparse at best. Still yet to see any condemnation from the college campus crew.

In 2012, Nasrallah was added to the US ‘designated global terrorist’ list. Hezbollah listed officially as a terrorist group by the US in 1997. Fast forward to 2024, and media outlets are calling him “a father figure, a moral compass and a political guide”.

Hezbollah under the leadership of Nasrallah has been linked to the mass casualty bombings of two U.S. embassy buildings in the 1980s killing more than 80 people and wounding hundreds. Hezbollah has also been linked to airplane hijackings, kidnappings and suicide bombings from 1982 through to 2024. The Iran-backed group is driven by its violent opposition to Israel and all Western influence in the Middle East. As well as accessing a yearly multi-million dollar injection by the Islamic Regime of Iran, Hezbollah run a sophisticated crime network to raise funds including, drug trafficking, gun running, blood diamonds and human trafficking. A ‘moral compass’ indeed.

So I am here to call a spade a spade. Hasan Nasrallah was an evil islamist war criminal who hated Israel and Western values. A coward who hid to protect his own life while terrorising the rest of the world over a four-decade despotic reign. Israel have eliminated an evil man, achieving what the rest of the free world hasn’t had the balls, or the smarts to do. He is not a martyr—he was a murderer. The world is a better place without him in it.

The world will not have peace until we can eradicate the evil islamist ideology that threatens free societies and holds the Middle East hostage.
