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 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 article describes how Narsallah was “beloved” by Shiite Muslims, in part for providing “social services” in Lebanon.
Nasrallah, 64, was killed in a massive aerial bombardment by Israeli forces in Beirut on Friday. He co-founded Hezbollah in 1982, becoming the terror group’s sole leader by 1992. (Read more from “NYT Slammed for Claiming Hezbollah Founder Hassan Nasrallah Wanted ‘Equality’ for All Religions” HERE)
