Hezbollah has confirmed that the Israeli strike which killed hundreds of people in residential buildings in Beirut also killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

It's crazy to see people justifying such horrific attacks on the basis that a political leader they don't like was also killed. Like, really? That's your defense?? That the massacre was also a political assassination?

The White House released a statement applauding the strike, calling it "a measure of justice" because Hezbollah "were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror."

It shows how little value the western empire assigns Arab lives that an assassination strike which killed hundreds of Lebanese civilians is viewed as a "measure of justice" for killing hundreds of Americans over four decades.

And now Israel is reportedly preparing to launch a "limited" ground incursion into Lebanon.

Defending Israeli aggressions by saying "Israel was attacked!" would make more sense if Israel wasn't the obvious instigator, and didn't respond to the attack with vastly more severe attacks of its own, and wasn't using the attack to justify rolling out pre-existing agendas.

Israel isn't killing all these people because it was attacked, Israel is killing all these people because it was given an excuse. Israel has always wanted to grab more land and eliminate the populations who oppose it. It's using the political moment that October 7 gave it to roll out agendas it has wanted to roll out for generations. Israel has been squeezing and squeezing and squeezing its targets for generation after generation waiting for them to push back sufficiently to hand them an excuse.
