In particular, Le Mond’s obituaries deserve attention:
“With the black turban worn by the descendants of the Prophet, thin glasses and a thick gray beard, Hassan Nasrallah was the face of Hezbollah for more than three decades at the head of this “militia” that dedicated itself to the armed struggle against Israel and He became the leader of Israel. As a state within the state of Lebanon, the Shiite leader held the country’s destiny in both war and peace in his hands. The charismatic leader, religiously revered by his followers and feared by his enemies as a consummate political and military strategist, died. “On Friday, September 27, in an Israeli attack on its stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut.”
And also from the New York Times:
“Mr. Nasrallah, who was killed on Friday in an Israeli airstrike that destroyed several residential buildings near Beirut, the Lebanese capital, was a leading figure not only in Lebanon but throughout the Middle East. During his 32 years at the head of the organization and With the support of Iran, he transformed “Hezbollah” into a powerful political force within the country and into one of the most armed non-state forces in the world. Mr. Nasrallah opposed Israel, which he called a “Zionist entity. “, and argued that there must be a united Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews and Christians. An exceptionally powerful speaker, he was loved by many Shia Muslims – a historically marginalized group in the Arab world – and created a state within a state in Lebanon that provided social services.”
The New York Times has since come under fire after publishing an article that many say took a step toward softening the image of slain Hezbollah founder Hassan Nasrallah. The article, titled “Protesters mourn Nasrallah’s death around the world,” was published Saturday without attribution.
NYT readers on social media expressed confusion about this material. One X user noted that the newspaper’s audience now consists mainly of liberal elites, politicians and Islamists.
“How can anyone continue to take the NYT seriously?” another commenter asked.
There were also accusations against the publication of “justifying jihad” and attempting to present calls for genocide in a positive light.
Previously, Kursor reported that analysts spoke about what was happening inside Hezbollah after the liquidation of Nasrallah.
