The Little Martyrs
"We consider them martyrs for Palestine and martyrs for the nation." Says the man who caused the deaths of two Iraeli Arab boys aged three and nine years. The same man who unleashed the war in the first place. The same man who orders missile hidden inside civilian homes. The same man who orders the rocket barrages that target civilians. The same man that causes roadblocks to be set up to keep Lebanese civilians in the line of fire.
The man responsible for multiple war crimes under the Geneva Conventions.
I'm sure your empty words delivered from your empty soul are of great comfort to all the people you have caused to die in this war you started, Hassan Nasrallah. All of your apologists in the West cannot change this one fact: You chose to start this war.
In a Thursday interview with Arabic-language news network Al-Jazeera, Nasrallah accepted responsibility for the Wednesday attack, while conceding that an apology to the family was not sufficient.
"To the family that was hit in Nazareth — on my behalf and my brothers', I apologize to this family," he said.
"Some events like that happen. At any event, those who were killed in Nazareth, we consider them martyrs for Palestine and martyrs for the nation. I pay my condolences to them."
As volleys of Hezbollah rockets have soared across the border for the last nine days, Israel has pounded Lebanon with artillery and airstrikes. Despite Israeli claims to the contrary, Nasrallah said the attacks have failed to faze Hezbollah politically or militarily.
Empty words from a butcher. Because the rockets do not care. Remember who started the war, folks. It was not Israel.
