  22. The Legacy of Martyr Nasrallah and the Zionist Massacre That Won’t Crush Resistance

    The latest Zionist massacre in Lebanon, orchestrated by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), was an indiscriminate attack leading to the murder of hundreds of Lebanese civilians. This terrorist act, veiled by Western officials as military operations, involved merciless bombings targeting residential buildings in Beirut’s densely populated southern suburbs. At least ten civilian apartment buildings were flattened, with civilian casualties likely in the hundreds, exceeding 700 lives murdered in less than a week. This massacre marks another heinous crime against humanity and a dark chapter in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

    This atrocity was not merely a local directive; it bore the imprint of US-led international complicity. Netanyahu ordered this massacre during his visit to the UN Headquarters in New York City, implicating the United Nations as a base for IOF operations. The decision originated in New York, implicating Washington in collaboration with the Zionists. Indicted by the International Criminal Court (ICC), Netanyahu should have been immediately arrested. Instead, UN officials allowed him to plan and execute attacks from New York while taking the UN stage to consider the Axis of Resistance: Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen “the curse,” erasing Palestine’s existence. This attack, rubber-stamped by the US, was described by Lebanese journalist Hasan Illaik as “a war on all supporters of the Palestinian people,” marking the start of another annihilation war.

    The timing of the directive, given shortly after Netanyahu’s UN speech, confirms US involvement, especially with the simultaneous announcement of an $8.7 billion aid package to Israel. This financial support and enabling, despite Israel and Netanyahu’s defiance against the US’ inadequate calls for a ceasefire underscores the despicable partnership between US policy and Israeli military strikes. As Nasrallah warned before he was martyred in the attacks on Beirut, “Israel has fully committed to an all-out war,” with recent raids marking a dangerous escalation.

    Martyr Nasrallah’s death signifies a profound loss, underscoring his dedication to the Palestinian cause. His sacrifice echoes the enduring struggle of peoples and nations supporting Palestine. Nasrallah refused to separate his support for Palestine from resistance against US/Israeli occupation. The massacre reveals IOF’s desperation, as eliminating resistance leaders has never led to military success. “You can kill a revolutionary, but you can never kill the revolution,” Fred Hampton famously stated, emphasizing the spirit of resistance.

    Nasrallah’s legacy is one of solidarity and resilience. His actions inspired many across the region to remain principled against the occupation, fostering a support network transcending borders. His leadership was crucial in bolstering resistance unity. Nasrallah’s firm support for Yemen against the war waged by Saudi Arabia and Western forces was one of his most honorable decisions. He supported the occupied Palestinians until he paid with his life.

    The martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has sent shockwaves across the region. Leaders and nations declared periods of mourning, reflecting respect and admiration for his contributions. Iraq’s Prime Minister declared three days of mourning, as did Yemen’s Head of the Supreme Political Council and Syria. In Iran, Sayyed Ali Khamenei declared five days of public mourning. These gestures highlight unity among those standing against the occupation, reaffirming their commitment to resistance.

    As the Lebanese people and the resistance community mourn, we find renewed strength in Nasrallah’s martyrdom. It is a catalyst that will galvanize resistance, inspiring new generations. The path of resistance is arduous but paved with sacrifices, like Nasrallah’s, for justice and liberation. His martyrdom stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of resistance.

    In this dark hour, the call to resist US-led imperialism in West Asia remains unyielding. Shaheed General Hassan Nasrallah’s martyrdom will strengthen the resistance’s spirit, inspiring more fighters. “We will complete this path, even if we are all killed, even if we are all martyred, even if our homes are destroyed over our heads, we will never abandon the path of Islamic resistance,” Nasrallah once said, highlighting unwavering commitment to the cause. Resistance against the Zionist enemy will continue whenever leaders become martyrs, succeeded by a new generation resolute in defeating this enemy.

    His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General, joined his martyr comrades. While we feel the pain of losing a prominent figure, we take pride in his legacy. He inspired fighters, cadres, and leaders to walk the path of martyrdom for Palestine.

    This crime, along with all other occupation crimes, will only strengthen resistance in Lebanon and Palestine. “By murdering our secretary-general, Sayyed Abbas Mussawi, they sought to kill our spirit of resistance and destroy our will for jihad. But his blood will continue to simmer in our veins, only strengthening our determination to move forward and intensifying our enthusiasm to pursue the path,” Nasrallah said when the prior Hezbollah leader was martyred.

    We echo the sentiments of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party: “This is the path of jihad, where Allah honors His devoted servants with either victory or martyrdom. Sayyed Nasrallah’s life was filled with victories, concluding with the victory of martyrdom. The enemy will not succeed in uprooting our people’s connection to their land and resistance.”

    Farewell to the noblest leader. You lived as a hero and will live as a legend of resistance forever in our hearts and minds. With you, we triumphed, liberated lands, deterred the enemy, crushed terrorism, and walked the path to Palestine.

    Former Lebanese President Emile Lahoud commented: “Sayyed Nasrallah had long awaited this moment, joining the ranks of martyrs. We promise to uphold this commitment, just as generations have followed his leadership.”

    Under his leadership, Hezbollah became stronger. His leadership supported the Palestinian resistance. Nasrallah articulated, “America will remain the primary enemy of this nation and the greatest Satan of all. Israel will forever be, in our eyes, a cancerous growth that must be eradicated, an artificial entity that should be removed, even if all the rulers of the world recognize it. Palestine—all of Palestine—will remain part of this nation, and we shall not relinquish a single grain of its sand.“

    Lebanon is paying the price of supporting Palestine with actions. This is the price Syria, Yemen, Iran, and Iraq have paid. Hezbollah leaders have sacrificed their lives for Palestine.

    Ismail Haniyeh, Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri, and Hassan Nasrallah were killed while liberating Palestine. But the movement continues. “When we win, we win. And when we are martyred, we win. We are on the verge of a great victory,” Nasrallah said last week.

    We will not be defeated, broken, or retreat. The movement carrying Nasrallah’s doctrine will advance toward liberating Al-Quds and Palestine.

    “Peace cannot be unilateral. So long as there is imperialism in the world, a permanent peace is impossible.” -Hassan Nasrallah

  23. Remembering Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah- The ‘Sayyed’ of Resistance and Liberation

    The 27th of September, 2025, marks the first anniversary of the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who embraced martyrdom from a cowardly and dastardly Zionist attack. A cleric, politician, orator, motivator, and third secretary general of the socio-political movement, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah’s legacy reveals much more than the official roles he assumed. He was a symbol of resistance and defiance in the Middle East, where “Israel” has been given a free license to commit egregious crimes against humanity and murder innocent civilians in Gaza and beyond. He countered western hegemony and Israeli aggression with strategic tact, dexterity, wisdom, and dedication, and his martyrdom elicited mass mourning across Lebanon and Palestine, where he was lionized as a hero. History will count him as one of the most powerful and popular men in the region, with many lessons, takeaways, and reflections for current generations and beyond.

    Beyond Narratives- A Principled and Benign Warrior

    To the fascists, Zionists, and hatemongers, Hassan Nasrallah will always be an enemy as he stood against expansionist designs and criminal agendas of ethnic cleansing, genocide, and apartheid perpetrated by the United States, “Israel” and its allies.

    However, nothing is further from the truth. Born in the residential, industrial, and commercial area of Bourj Hammoud in Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah was a pan-Arab freedom fighter who joined resistance forces to repel the Israeli invasion of Lebanon the same year. His leadership during the 2006 Israeli war on Lebanon was also outstanding as he countered Zionists keeping innocent civilians in Israeli prisons amid torture, maiming, and inhumane conditions, and sought to deter Israel from committing crimes. He successfully stood up against the mayhem, mobilized populations, and tackled a draconian military machinery, resulting in a victory for both Hezbollah and Lebanon and humiliation for the fascist Israeli regime.

    His tactical victories on the battlefield are complemented by Hezbollah’s irrefutable status as a socio-political movement in Lebanon. His leadership has ensured that the group is active in the country’s political landscape and is recognized as a socio-political movement, deeply entrenched in Lebanese society, with a strong constituency and a vocal voter base.  Under Sayyed Nasrallah’s leadership, Hezbollah also managed to pursue balanced relationships with all regional states while catering to internal dynamics underpinning internal factions in Lebanon, such as ideological differences. This indicates political maturity, a pursuit of accommodative policies, and an unwavering commitment to people-centric democracy as opposed to unilateral policymaking, which has been a feature of “Israel” and the United States.

    Sayyed Nasrallah’s tactical genius in defending the territorial sovereignty of Lebanon and the Arab world coincides with his charismatic leadership. He appealed to the impoverished, marginalized, and disadvantaged segments of societies in Yemen, Palestine, and Lebanon and shaped narratives on revolutions, resistance, and defiance to address their plight. His advocacy for the poor was also apolitical and went beyond ethnicities, religions, or cultures. The Lebanese Christian community, for example, respected him for his integrity, work ethic, humility, and accessibility, while many Sunni Muslims also lauded him as a respectable figurehead who stood up for the downtrodden. No more is his unwavering commitment to egalitarianism more evident than in his fierce resistance to the neocolonial project of “Israel”. “Israel’s” exploitation of the oppressed, the occupied, and the subjugated stood in stark contrast to Sayyed Nasrallah’s advocacy of freedom and popular sovereignty.

    It is hence unsurprising that even Sayyed Nasrallah’s opponents did not contest his incorruptibility, personal humility, and discipline as he lived a frugal lifestyle and connected with the masses to ensure that the collective good prevails over personal gain. These factors, coupled with Hezbollah’s commitment to public welfare with educational institutions, hospitals, news services, and stipends, underline Sayyed Nasrallah’s people-centric vision.

    These irrefutable facts challenge the preconceived notions promoted by the United States, “Israel” and its allies regarding his legacy. The truth is that in a region where unilateralism and international law were and are being brazenly violated despite the presence of the UN Charter, figures such as Sayyed Nasrallah stood out as resistors, trendsetters, and liberators of the Muslim Ummah and humanity overall. His aversion to Western designs, such as the Trump administration incentivizing Arab nations to normalize with “Israel”, normalize the occupation in Palestine, and normalize apartheid, has resulted in him openly challenging the neo-con agendas of Tel Aviv and Washington D.C., who wanted to whitewash “Israel’s” nefarious activities.

    For the youth in the Arab world who continue to witness barbarity from the Zionists and require inspiration to address the plight of the Palestinians, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s legacy stands out. His discipline, unwavering commitment to Arab, Muslim, and humanitarian causes, and resistance appeals to the Arab youth fed up with rhetoric and lack of action, act as an ideal template to follow to ensure that Palestine is free and the region is safe from toxic ideologies. The resistance literature of Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon will also bear witness to Sayyed Nasrallah’s contributions for those growing up listening to his speeches and those who have plenty to impart to later generations.

    In essence, Sayyed Nasrallah’s legacy cannot be forgotten.

    This first anniversary of his martyrdom underlines how he became the ‘Sayyed’ of the people, Palestine, the region, and the world.

  24. Resistance Supporters Light Raouche Rock to Honor Martyr Sayyed Nasrallah

    Lebanese Resistance Hezbollah’s supporters lit up Beirut’s iconic Raouche Rock on Thursday evening with the images of the movement’s two fallen secretary-generals, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, remembered by supporters as the “leaders of the martyrs of the nation,” and his successor Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.

    Large crowds from across Lebanon gathered along the capital’s western coastline to commemorate the anniversary of their martyrdom. The annual remembrance comes nearly one year after Sayyed Nasrallah was assassinated on September 27, 2024, and just days before Sayyed Safieddine was assassinated on October 3, 2024.

    Hezbollah’s Media Relations Department had earlier called for a gathering at Beirut’s Raouche area, which included a maritime display, the lighting of the Lebanese flag, and the projection of the martyrs’ images on the towering seaside landmark. The rock, a natural and touristic symbol of the capital, became the backdrop for a moment of collective remembrance.

    Crowds chanted in unison and waved flags as the illumination turned Raouche Rock into a glowing tribute.

    Resistance remains steadfast

    In a landmark address commemorating the first anniversary of the martyrdom of senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil and his comrades in the Radwan Force, Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem reaffirmed the steadfastness of the Resistance and called on the entire region, from governments to peoples, to recognize the existential threat posed by the Israeli entity.

    Sheikh Qassem began his speech by paying tribute to the martyred commander Hajj Abdul Qader, eulogizing him as a pivotal figure in the Islamic Resistance. “Martyr Abdul Qader stood against the 1982 invasion, was in charge of central training in the early 1990s, fought in the Ansariya operation, and was one of the leaders of the 2006 war,” he said.

    He also recalled martyr Aqil’s participation in the Syrian front, particularly in Qusayr and Qalamoun, and highlighted his long-standing role as deputy to the Ummah’s martyr, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, since 2008. “We draw lessons from the stances of martyr Abdul Qader and recognize his great sacrifices for the liberation of land, sovereignty, and independence,” Qassem noted.

    The Resistance will stand tall against all odds

    He concluded with a reaffirmation of the Resistance’s path: “This Resistance will remain steadfast with its head held high, despite Israel, despite America, because it is the Resistance of martyrs, of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, of Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, of Abdul Qader, and many others.”

    “The Resistance’s supporters remain firm in their commitment to its weapons because they have seen with their own eyes the fruits of liberation, deterrence, and national presence.”

    “We engage in dialogue from a position of strength,” he said, adding that the Resistance’s stance is rooted in sacrifice and unwavering faith in the right to confront and expel the occupier. He emphasized that Hezbollah would accept nothing short of full liberation and is ready to face all challenges to maintain its honor and independence.

  25. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah died for Gaza

    A bottle of soil from Al-Aqsa Mosque was set to be buried with Hezbollah’s late Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. While nearly the entire world stood by and watched the Zionist entity commit the first live-streamed genocide, the Lebanese leader refused to let the people of Gaza die alone, even if that meant he would be taken with them.

    Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah transcended the traditional role of a leader, he represented hope, provided a sense of moral guidance, and offered shrewd political analysis, and when he spoke, everybody listened; whether friend or foe. On the issue of Palestine in particular, he was perhaps the most significant leader in the Arab world, why? Because he was the man who led the first-ever Arab victory over the Zionist regime, expelling them from South Lebanon in 2000, and greatly outwitting them during the 2006 war.

    In October of 2023, Sayyed Nasrallah delivered his first speech during the Gaza genocide. In that address, he pledged that the movement he commanded, Hezbollah, would never abandon the people of Gaza, no matter where it took the region. Although he did not commit to war, he set one red line and made a pledge: “Hamas will win!”

    In a recent press conference, senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan recounted a conversation between the late Hezbollah Secretary-General and leaders of the Palestinian group, stating that Hamas did not request anything from Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. Yet, the Hezbollah leader took the decision to immediately open a support front against the Israelis, which began on October 8 when the group fired upon Zionist military positions in the illegally occupied Sheba’a Farms area.

    Hezbollah would go on to sacrifice hundreds of its men in thousands of operations targeting Israeli military positions and settlements, all of whom were given the title of martyrs “on the path to al-Quds”. Although his Israeli enemies would go on to commit civilian massacres and assassinations in Beirut and the Bekaa Valley, with war seeming inevitable, Sayyed Nasrallah refused to capitulate.

    In a speech 100 days into the Gaza genocide and as the fighting was intensifying on the Lebanese front, he remarked that “we fear nothing and will fight without limits and without borders,” in response to the Zionist regime’s threats. His conditions were always clear, Hezbollah does not stop firing until there is a durable ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

    Throughout his life, he never backed down from supporting the Palestinian cause, providing weapons and expertise to all Palestinian groups, and helping to devise a unified strategy in order to launch a unity of fronts against the Israeli occupation.

    Even down to his very last speech – which was delivered right after the Israelis launched their terrorist booby-trapped pager attack on Lebanon that killed and injured thousands, many of whom were civilians – he made the promise that Hezbollah will never abandon Gaza and will fight for the people of Palestine no matter the costs, no matter where the region heads.

    Nasrallah also repeatedly imparted wisdom onto the Arab regimes that stood idly by as the atrocities were being carried out against the people of the Gaza Strip, asking them how they could watch and not act. He extended this question to the entire Arab and Muslim World, asking how it was possible for the people to go about their business as usual when Gaza was suffering so horrifically.

    He also stressed that if the Arab world did nothing, the Zionist entity would expand its territorial control into their nations and would not stop only at their plan to ethnically cleanse Palestine. Now, as the Arab nations scramble to put together a plan that can offset the proposals of US President Donald Trump to commit a mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza, his words have more relevance than ever before. Indeed, the Zionists now occupy southern Syria, threaten Jordanian sovereignty as Sayyed Nasrallah had warned, and are even making threats against Egypt.

    In the end, the main reason that the Zionist entity provided – for their decision to assassinate Sayyed Nasrallah by dropping multiple 2,000-pound bunker-busting munitions that ultimately took down a collection of civilian buildings in southern Beirut – was that he could not be convinced to abandon Gaza.

    In 2006, Sayyed Nasrallah’s iconic speech in southern Lebanon – following the war – dedicated perhaps its most powerful segment to the Palestinian people, urging them to continue their path of resistance and stressing that just like the people of Lebanon, they too could achieve their liberation.

    A Palestinian woman, who is from Gaza and whose identity will be hidden for security purposes, told me on the day that Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s martyrdom was announced:

    “His father had a dream, and in that dream, Prophet Muhammed – peace and blessings upon him – told him his son’s name was Hassan. He woke up that morning and told his wife, good morning Um Hassan (mother of Hassan), before he was even born, that’s how he was named. Allah gave us Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, so he can never be taken away. He told us, he was going to pray at Masjid al-Aqsa… He can’t be gone now, you will see, he’s alive, you will see.”

    This is just a sample of what Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah meant to so many Palestinians, some of whom could not even accept his passing and still can’t properly comprehend it. In a world of darkness, death, and confusion, amid the genocide, there were Palestinians who had held back tears upon the announcement that their own friends and family were killed but broke down into tears over Sayyed Nasrallah.

    Nasrallah lost his own son – who was martyred in a battle – along with many other members of his extended family, and in the end, he sacrificed his life for the suffering people of Palestine. He may have not been able to pray at Masjid al-Aqsa as he once told interviewers he believed he would, but as was recently announced by Hussein Fadlallah, who heads the committee organizing Sayyed Nasrallah’s funeral, a Jerusalemite managed to send a bottle of soil from Al-Aqsa, which was set to be buried with him.

    As for Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s pledge that “Hamas will win,” a ceasefire/prisoner exchange was finally declared on January 19, after which the Palestinian political party emerged displaying the signs of victory.

    While in the West Hezbollah is described as a “terrorist organisation”, their media and governments fail to comprehend what Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah truly represented to the people who supported him. Sayyed Nasrallah was not just the leader of an armed group, in fact, the support for him had little to do with the military organization he commanded. He was loved and trusted as a symbol of hope, a shining light that with his powerful speeches inspired the people when they most needed it, a symbol of reliability.

    Sayyed Nasrallah was also a symbol of pride for a people who had been disposed of, turned into refugees, lost their loved ones, lost their homes, lost all worldly possessions and/or were humiliated physically by their oppressor. The Arab people are treated by the media and governments of the collective West as subhumans, and their lives aren’t afforded worth, they are a people spoken down to as if they are intellectually inferior and incapable of deciding their own destiny. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah gave the people a reason to feel pride in themselves. As the age-old idiom goes, the pen is mightier than the sword, and so too is the spoken word stronger than any missile.

  26. Sayyed Nasrallah’s Martyrdom – the Fruit That Bore Through the Rubble

    It has long been emphasized by supporters of the Resistance, including Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah himself, that the Resistance is an idea that cannot be extinguished, rather, it is strengthened and grows through martyrdom.

    However, we can’t deny the gravity of Sayyed Nasrallah’s loss. In his last speech, he cautioned against both aggrandizing the enemy’s power to the point of self-inflicted defeatism and underestimating the enemy.

    In remembering his words of caution, it’s critical that his understanding of the enemy extends to assessing the gravity of his impact. While our faith in the Resistance and Hezbollah remains firm after his martyrdom, the aftershocks of its impacts are undeniable, an impact of a figure who was the operational leader – along with the coordinator for the whole Axis of Resistance.

    As Sayyed Nasrallah’s daughter said in the latest Al Mayadeen interview, the Master of the Ummah’s Martyrs educated and motivated his followers, like his family, to follow the path of righteousness and truth.

    “We were never coerced into thinking a certain way,” Sayyed Nasrallah’s daughter Zeinab said, referring to her father’s parenting style which extended to his relationship with his community.

    It was out of pure love and conviction that Sayyed Nasrallah’s children followed his path, and his followers trod the Holy Path out of love and loyalty and not fear. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was reminiscent of a leader who embodied the lessons of Imam Jaafar al-Sadiq, a popular, beloved, and charismatic leader and Imam who cautioned believers against the “slave” worship of fear and into the righteous worship of love.

    The road to the liberation of al-Quds is paved with martyrdom, and, on the evening of September 27, 2024, the most precious of blood was spilled as the Zionist entity razed the Southern Suburb of Beirut through nonstop bombardment, tearing the ground amid a week-long campaign by the Zionist entity to uproot the Resistance, and especially the very leader that had given it its first taste of defeat in the ‘90s.

    Nasrallah ushered in the “Era of Victories,” instilling a sense of pride and dignity in a community that had been historically marginalized and a people that internalized the defeat of Arabs in the face of “Israel” and the shame of marginalization from a deeply classist and colonized society – breaking it from his famous greetings of “ya ashraf al-nas (oh, most honorable of people)” to his people in speeches.

    He himself hailed from modest beginnings – a working-class family of 10 headed by a simple fruit seller originally from Bazourieh, Tyre. He was an early disciple of Sayyed Musa al-Sadr, the original leader of the Amal revolutionary Islamic movement and an early student of Sayyed Baqir al-Sadr, traveling to Najaf, Iraq, at the age of 16 to further his Islamic studies. He was nurtured in the cradle of the growing Revolutionary Islamic movement, which culminated in the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, the seeds of Revolutionary Islam planted in Lebanon years prior.

    Sayyed Nasrallah showed how victory could be attained despite the modest means of those resisting the most well-funded and equipped occupations in the world, giving, for the first time, a sense of pride in a people who had spent years internalizing their own humiliation.

    The Sayyed was an original leader who, in the vein of Sayyed Musa al-Sadr, fulfilled, expounded on, and furthered a legacy of the original holy sheikhs and leaders of Jabal Amel, such as Sheikh Sharafeddine, whose booming anti-colonial speech at the 1920 conference of Wadi al-Hjeir called to action an anti-colonial movement from the same valley that dealt “Israel” its “massacre of the Merkavas” in 2006.

    His shrewd command of religious knowledge equipped him with the basira (deep insight) to understand society, politics, and most importantly, the enemy. In contrast to American exceptionalist understandings of the Israeli-American relationship, such as the Mearsheimian emphasis on the “Israel lobby” as the decisive, driving factor of American foreign policy, Sayyed Nasrallah kept the focus on American imperialism as the primary root of international arrogance worldwide – in line with Imam Khomeini, who identified America as the Great Satan.

    Defying Western characterizations of Hezbollah or Islamic Resistance as irrational, dogmatic, or backward, Sayyed Nasrallah was a brilliant analyst and orator who spoke to many different global segments, and through his religious dimension, his analytical dimension, his role as an anti-imperialist icon, and a scholar, he garnered a global following of those who loved and revered his service to the oppressed.

    While having large success in fostering a sense of national unity, Sayyed Nasrallah came under additional challenges amid the US-engineered economic crisis in Lebanon and the subsequent color revolution, where American and European-backed narratives, whether in billionaire-funded “independent” media or through NGOs, attempted to break the domestic unity coalition and replace the Lebanese government with an unelected American and World Bank technocracy, falsely pitting Sayyed Nasrallah as a supporter of corruption and Lebanon’s domestic problems. These same sponsors attempted to usher in themes and discourses of normalization in Lebanon in the template of Ukraine’s 2014 Euromaidan.

    Dialectic philosophy is dictated by the unity of opposites, and the truth lies in this unity. By uniting different segments of society – Muslim and Christian, Sunni and Shiite, secular and religious, toward a common effort of national and regional sovereignty, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah masterfully seamed together the sectarian and social fissures inflicted by ages of imperialist divide-and-conquer counterinsurgency.

    The populist developmentalism of Hezbollah cemented under Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, through credit union Qard al-Hassan that provided low-cost loans; Dar al-Hawraa, an affordable community clinic providing a wide range of services; and Jihad al-Binaa, which immediately and expediently moed on the postwar reconstruction of homes in Dahieh and the South, at a speed and efficiency that baffled civil engineers. Jihad al-Binaa also supports farming and beekeeping, including workshops, seed distribution, and technical assistance, embodying Hezbollah’s commitment to industry and agriculture as the labor-oriented backbone of building Lebanese society, a contrast to the finance-capital oriented economy that otherwise comprises Lebanese state institutions.

    The US, shaken by the colossal challenge imposed by the Palestinian Resistance at the outset of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, sought to salvage itself against the existential threat the Resistance dealt it and the Zionist entity, moving from soft power to hard war tactics to enforce (and force) their consensus of normalization, which Sayyed Nasrallah spent his life to fight and keep out of Lebanon. Referring to the Camp David Accords in speeches, Sayyed Nasrallah articulated a structuralist understanding of the relationship between normalization, neoliberalism, and what he always referred to as an “imposition of a humiliating political process on the Palestinians and Arabs,” under the guise of empty promises of political stability and prosperity that otherwise ushered in further pauperization of population that siphoned state assets for US financial capital, enriching itself and the Washington-aligned comprador class.

    To impose this very political reality on Lebanon, the Zionist entity bombed – over 80 times – the apartment buildings over Sayyed Nasrallah with American Mark 84 multi-ton bombs. The gravity of the force that they unleashed to kill one man was a testament to the weight of the figure he was, and despite the damage meant to turn mountains into craters – with bombs known to evaporate bodies – Sayyed Nasrallah’s martyred body remained intact.

    Ideologically, spiritually, and institutionally, Sayyed Nasrallah built a Hezbollah that ensured a loss in leaders did not mean a loss in leadership. The Sayyed’s spirit pushes through the concrete rubble, where the fruits of Resistance naturally bear through a history of siege and martyrdom. Mourners are arriving, putting their personal lives on hold or politically motivated obstacles in transit to attend the funeral of a leader matched by so few in his impact and level of resonance worldwide. Millions came to attend the funeral of the man who changed the world, challenged Israeli and American arrogance, and won the hearts of millions. Where “Israel” tries to bury a martyr, a thousand more warriors and followers rise from the rubble – from the ideological and spiritual seeds Sayyed Nasrallah planted.

    With Sayyed [Nasrallah’s] planning, Hezbollah grew step by step, patiently, logically, and naturally […showing] the effect of its existence on enemies in different stages: ‘a pure being like an immaculate tree whose roots are firm in the ground and whose branches are in heavens, yielding fruit in every season by permission of its Lord? Allah draws such comparisons for men so that they may take heed” (Quran 14:25) – Sayyed Khamenei.
