NYT slammed for claiming Hezbollah founder Hassan Nasrallah wanted ‘equality’ for all religions

The New York Times faced widespread criticism and mockery after it published an article that critics said tried to soften the image of slain Hezbollah founder Hassan Nasrallah — claiming the terror leader who advocated for the annihilation of Israel was a champion of “equality” for all religious groups in the region.

The article, titled “Protesters Mourn Nasrallah’s Death Around the World” — published Saturday without a byline — heaps praise on Nasrallah as a “gifted orator” who “maintained that there should be one Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews and Christians.”

Nasrallah fervently believed in the destruction of the Jewish state — and his organization carried out numerous horrific attacks on Jews around the world.
 
The Hezbollah co-founder was killed in a massive airstrike by Israeli forces in Beirut on Friday.
 
The article describes how Nasrallah was “beloved” by Shiite Muslims, in part for providing “social services” in Lebanon.
The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • Ah, the air is so much fresher here...
I stand amazed sometimes of the old axiom of 'the more things change, the more  they stay the same' and how true it still rings.

The media is the literal embodiment of the weavers in the Emperor's New Clothes.

equality = equally exterminated from Palestine

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
He wants them all equally exterminated.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I don't normally dirty myself by going to the times' web site.
But I pasted the title of the article into a browser, and went there.

Interestingly, this article has no "by line". Where one would normally expect to find a name of a reporter or two, all it says is:
"By The New York Times
Sept. 28, 2024"


Wondering who wrote the article?
Care to take a guess as to their ethnicity and religion?

I won't mention any names, but Taqiyya is practiced there.
