What a surprise: the Sunnis don't appreciate IRGC interference all over the ME.
The Ripper!
"The victims of Nasrallah in Syria are hundreds of thousands, does he deserve mercy from Muslims?" Iraqi-based journalist Omar AlJmmal said on X.
Excellent point.

So, the DICTATORSHIPS (or at least some of them) kept silent over their fellow Axis of Antidemocracies member, Israel, murdered a member of a prodemocracy group
PS, love how 'pro-Iran' and 'prodemocracy' overlap in the ME.

Oh, and remember who the US armed in the 'Syrian civil war'
Hint ISIS

Utter gaslighting. The US started arming a small number of groups before realizing they were all jihadis and stopped.

Funny I thought the anti govt forces in Syria worked for the US and Israel....The US still has illegal bases there hmmm.
Love or Hate Nasrallah, Israel is trying it's hardest to start WW3 with this assassination and collective punishment
Arrest the lunatic war criminal Netanyahu now before he gets his wish!

Only Lebanon among the Iran camp is a democracy and we can see how well that country functions.

The US sure gets a lot of mileage out of free soldiers around the world.
Were terrorists just killed there today? Why yes, yes there were.

Brutal, autocratic, anti-democratic Western-backed monarchies. What do you expect them to do?

Israel's killing of Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was met with silence by many Sunni-led states across the region, showcasing the split between populations outraged at Israel and authorities who normalized ties with Israel or are opposed to Hezbollah's patron Iran.
This is really a PROXY war between Iran and Israel and the Arabs are just caught in between.
The majority of Palestinians if not all are Sunni - Muslims and know nothing about Iran or have NO connections to Iran in terms of blood, the only reason Hamas got tangled with Iran is because they needed Iran's $$$ and most of all weapons which is provided by Russia and others.
Iran offered Hamas a gleam of hope and Hamas grabbed it since NO ONE else would.
Israel BLOCKADE of Gaza has left Hamas and the Gaza strip no choice but to desperately take any offer from anyone, and Iran exploited them.
If and When Israel ends it's Blockade !!? Gaza will end it's ties with Iran and anyone that is taking advantage of their situation.
I blame Israel for creating these conditions and leaving Hams and the Palestinians in the west bank no choice but to partner with any one who is willing to help even the devils among us.

Hamas doesn't need weapons. At least to continue existing legally.
TaiwanIsNotChina
Be opposed to the brutal, autocratic, anti-democratic Iran? Also last I checked a bunch of the "Western-backed monarchies" are BRICS members.

This article is obviously seeking sympathy on the death of a terrorist just because he was unalived by Israel.
The Ripper!
"Hezbollah did what the Jews did not do against our brothers in Syria," he said.
More evidence of Israel's humanity.

Arab world split in reactions to killing of Hezbollah chief Nasrallah
The arab world is not split. Just the reactions of their leaders. There is a difference.

Good on the IDF, hopefully this will wake the Mullahs up and give them pause before trying to harm the Israeli people
The Ripper!
Start WW3 with who?
Iran's Khomeini ran into hiding yesterday.
Hezbollah is basically dismantled.
Syria is too busy killing its own people.
Israel is defending itself.
And extremely successfully.
Ah---I see what really bothers you and others.
Israel is winning.

Yes indeed, that was Obama. Hard to forget that Obama also joined in on the ousting and murder of Khaddafi after Khaddafi renounced terrorism and became more pro-west.
Hillary giggled about his death. You gotta wonder.

I'll take the what, one year support of ISIS by the US compared to the continual support of Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Iran by the dictatorship brigade.

the Sunnis don't appreciate IRGC interference all over the ME.
Well yeah, one of the very few things that Sunni and Shia manage to agree on is that neither appreciates Washington interference and meddling all over the ME".

It looks as if Israel is going to annhilate its enemies. If I was a mullah in Iran I would ditch my pager, cell phone, computer, and go live in a cave in the desert, and pray.

From the PCHRGaza report dated October 3rd
*This week, 3 IOF shootings were reported on agricultural lands in eastern Gaza Strip, while 7 shootings were reported on fishing boats off western Gaza shores
Since the beginning of 2023, IOF have made 142 families homeless, a total of 821 persons, including 180 women and 362 children. This was the outcome of IOF demolition of 152 houses; 39 were forcibly self-demolished by their owners and 14 were demolished on grounds of collective punishment. IOF also demolished 118 other civilian objects, razed other property, and delivered dozens of notices of demolition and cease-construction in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.*
That's why I say that while Harris is what America thinks it is, Trump is what America acts like.

I have a lot of trouble feeling bad about the death of a non-state militia leader who was a terrorist and who interspersed his forces among civilians to avoid strikes.
The Ripper!
Let's hope so.
This is what is best for not just Israel, but for the region.
