Traitors make it easy.

"Israel's military said...that it killed Hassan Nasrallah, the overall leader of the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, in a Friday (27 Sept) airstrike in Beirut Lebanon. The militant group confirmed Nasrallah's death, saying its longtime leader 'has joined his fellow martyrs." "The afternoon strike carried out by fighter jets, targeted the group's 'central headquarters,' which were 'embedded under a residential building' in Beirut's northern suburbs, according to the Israeli Defense Forces." CBS. "Nasrallah's killing in a command HQ...came barely a week after Israel's deadly detonation of hundreds of booby-trapped pagers and radios." "One source familiar with Israeli thinking told Reuters, less than 24 hours before the strike, that Israel has spent 20 years focusing on intelligence efforts on Hebollah and could hit Nasrallah when it wanted, including in the headquarters. The person called the intelligence 'brilliant,' without providing details." Reuters. Earlier this month, Israel exposed how Iran planned to kill Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders. "The core plot was to use an Israeli businessman named Moti Maman, from Ashkelon who spent an extravagant lifestyle in Turkey and had financial dealings with both Turkish and Iranian people." ET. This was to have been in retaliation for the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran's capital Tehran in the early hours of 31 July. He was in Tehran for the inauguration of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and "Iranian state media IRNA reported that an 'airborne guided projectile' had targeted the building at around 2 a.m. local time." CNN. On 19 and 20 September, "At least 32 people, including two children, were killed and thousands more injured, many seriously, after communication devices, some used by the armed group Hezbollah, dramatically exploded across Lebanon." Exploding walkie-talkies killed 20 and injured at least 450 people "in the vicinity of a large crowd that had gathered for the funerals of four victims of (the previous day's) simultaneous pager blasts, which killed at least 12 people and injured nearly 3,000." BBC. Attacks by Israel highlight how unpopular the Iranian government and its proxy, Hezbollah, are so that there are people ready to betray them at the risk of torture and death. Secondly, leaders of Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah do not care how many innocent civilians, including children, are killed or maimed as they are used as human shields. They callously use the suffering of civilians as propaganda, aided by an anti-Semitic Western media terrified of being accused of Islamophobia. Hamas could stop most of the Israeli attacks by releasing the remaining hostages, 97 of whom remain unaccounted for. "According to Israel, 251 hostages were kidnapped on 7 October 2023, of which 101 are still being held by Hamas, including four people taken hostage in 2014 and 2015, of whom two are believed to have died. BBC. Unless the West stops being compliant with these depraved, cowardly, subhuman criminals the fighting will continue. Innocents will die. Children will be maimed. Both physically and psychologically. For life.
