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.
By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

  • 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
"Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it’s entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." - Alan Simpson, Frontline Video Interview

  • 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.
