I thought the statement would be very long but this is the whole thing...
Hassan Nasrallah was a terrorist with American blood on his hands. Across decades, his leadership of Hezbollah destabilized the Middle East and led to the killing of countless innocent people in Lebanon, Israel, Syria, and around the world. Today, Hezbollah’s victims have a measure of justice.
I have an unwavering commitment to the security of Israel. I will always support Israel’s right to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis.
President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region.
I know the message is pure politics and designed wholly for an American audience but it's still makes me annoyed when American politicians start a statement of a foreign situation with a mention of American suffering.
Compare this (and Biden's) statement to what the Democrats all said when Trump's ear was pierced. Not one mention of bloody hands!
It has me very worried, the way Biden and Harris and Blinken and the New York Times are all insisting that anything and anyone "Iran-backed" deserves to die.
It has me very worried...
Me too. Libs would never admit Kamala is right-wing. But I'm certain if she wins then as president the dems will use terms like "tough", "pragmatic", and "she shows resolve". Any pretense of the dems pretending to be decent is gone. They've gone mask off and it creeps me out. They're done pretending to give a shit about homeless Americans or non-American lives. Be it at the US/Mexico border or in Gaza or in Lebanon etc. Ever since I first voted in the 1980s - I've noted that the dems have pretended to care about things like human rights. Reagan liked to say stuff like the US was a shining city on a hill. Up until recently dems might even have mentioned that very phrase with warm nostalgia.
In many ways mainstream dem messaging is clearly far to the right of where Reagan's rhetoric was in the 1980s. The only exception - of course - is Ukraine. I think a Reaganesque pol running as a democrat would not only never get close to the presidency - he might even be unelectable as a California state senator. He wouldn't nearly be right-wing enough.
They believe they have a free pass to be this shitty because of abortion.
And they don't have this great record on that either, especially lately.
They believe they have a free pass to be this shitty because of abortion.
you mean like when Obama regime had both houses of congress and majority governorships and executive and a sympathetic court and refused to codify abortion rights (or LGBTQ civil rights assurances for that matter) into law? And then gave away a free supreme court seat to the Republicans in "reaching across the aisle to foreplay with my 'good friends' the fascists" capitulation? And then now have stood by and done fuck all when those rights are stripped all over the country, and having the democrat in office adamantly denounce the idea of expanding or packing the court because such a move would be "too political?"
Liberals are living in a dream and it is all of our nightmare
It should have everyone sane very worried. But none of it is particularly surprising... just all very clear now. In the past they could hide all of this shit under a veil. There is no longer any veil, no pretending, just full Hitler-mode.
The fascists are mask-off as usual, tbh. It's concerning, but I suppose I have some hope, if nothing else, that they will bring punishment down on all their heads (hopefully not through nuclear war) in due time. They, and anyone backed by them, are the ones who deserve to die (no statement of intent nor incitement, the world will carry on and they'll just keep pushing the entire world and even their citizenry to the brink till something happens)
Why does he have American blood on his hands?
What are Americans doing in Syria Kopmala?
WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN SYRIA!And Iran "destabilized the Middle East?" Excuse me? Which country was it that tried to hijack Iran's revolution when it backfired?
It's simply taken as a given that the burger army can be anywhere it wants
That’s always aggravating when a news story leads with “three Americans among the thousands death in a freak landslide in Uzbekistan.” Like I care more about Karen from East Whereever, Oregon dying during her Eat, Love, Pray vacation than hundreds of foreigners.
"We now go live to East Whereever, Oregon..."
Oh, great.
I'm not going to read this because if I do it will just make me want to fedpost
Hezbollah is the destabilizing entity, certainly not Isntreal.
Only Isntreal can defend itself, everyone else is the attacker. So glad we're back to "pre-empitive war."
Israel murdering 200,000 Palestinians is business as usual. Hezbollah making a settler in Haifah piss his pants is generational antisemitic violence and an agitation. Hope this helps!
Can't wait for the statement of Nasrallah's successor on the death of Kamala Harris
I don't need to read a statement to know that she and every dem and republican are fucking scum. May they all be shoved into a giant blender.
I hope someday we'll be seeing the same thing being said in press releases about Holocaust Harris, the black slaver, and all the other genocidaires in the US govt. In their case it would all be true, of course.
"Harris was a terrorist with the blood of millions (of Arabs, Russians, Ukrainians, etc... the list is pretty long but particularly the above 3) on her hands (the blood of many African-Americans and other racialized Americans more directly on her hands, as well). Across decades, her hateful simpering (no one can call it leadership, she's a literal clown) played a role in destabilizing the entire globe and led to the killing of countless innocent people in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Ukraine, Russia, Venezuela, (etc...) and around the world. Today, the world has a measure of justice."
Good point, hopefully not for that part. If Yankeestan collapses tomorrow it will be 250 years too late.
not reading that, I assume it's just
repeated a few hundred times
except with blood
