Hezbollah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) airstrike on Friday, was an Islamic extremist, anti-Semite, and Holocaust denier who wanted to destroy Israel and expel its Jews. It was.
The reality of his beliefs contrasts with the almost glorifying way some media outlets have presented him.
His most infamous quote is: “If all Jews gathered in Israel, we would save ourselves the trouble of chasing them all over the world.” That statement in 2001 was reported in new york times 2004, but only from secondary sources.
What is clear is that Nasrallah hated Jews and at best wanted to expel them from Israel to other countries.
In 2000, he spoke at a Shiite Muslim ceremony and said (via the Israeli Foreign Ministry):
Jews invented legends of Nazi atrocities. It is clear that the numbers they are talking about are greatly exaggerated. They can talk about fabricated or exaggerated atrocities that took place during World War II, but we have the documented and proven genocide they committed against us and the people of the region. We must forget the carnage that is being committed…
The only way to achieve a just and inclusive peace is to [United Nations Security Council] Resolutions 425, 242 and 338 by restoring all Arab lands to their sons and owners without war or conflict. Avoid bloodshed. Let the Jews of Yemen go back to Yemen, the Jews of Morocco to Morocco, the Jews of Ethiopia to Ethiopia, the Jews of Europe to Europe, and the Jews of America to America. Palestinians will take back their land and establish a state…
Anyone who reads the Quran and the holy books of monotheism sees what the Jews did to the prophets, what acts of madness and genocide they committed throughout history… Anyone who reads them cannot imagine living with them. About peace with them, or acceptance of their presence, not only in Palestine in 1948, but even in small villages in Palestine. Because they are a cancer that can spread again at any time…
Hezbollah also carried out a devastating bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1994, two years after Nasrallah. Become Leader of a terrorist organization in 1993.
