Nasrallah: Those who blocked truth in port case are the ones who politicized it
Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday expressed sympathy with “all those who were wounded in the Beirut port blast on August 4,” 2020, lamenting that “from the very first moment after the port explosion, some malicious TV stations said that Hezbollah was behind blowing up the port.”
“Those who blocked the truth in the port blast case are the ones who politicized this case. The real reason behind the loss of the truth in the Beirut port explosion is some parties’ linking of the case to regional events,” Nasrallah added, in a televised address commemorating late Shiite cleric Sheikh Afif al-Nabulsi.
“The same TV station that accused Hezbollah of the port explosion is saying that Hezbollah is behind what’s happening at the Ain el-Helweh camp and this is nonsense,” Nasrallah went on to say.
He added: “We are not responsible for the Ain el-Helweh battle in any way. We are against this fighting, we are trying to resolve it and I urge all the parties concerned to halt the battles.”
demagogues like him resort to misinformation, half-truths, and outright lies to advance their agendas, disregarding the consequences of their actions on society. They undermine the value of truth and erode trust in institutions, leading to a polarized and confused public... His 'charisma' and ability to tap into emotions creates a cult-like following, blinding people to his flaws and harmful actions. This unquestioning loyalty leads to the erosion of critical thinking and the suppression of dissent, which are extremely vital for a healthy democracy and a free society.
@halo : a very wise buddy of mine once said
(فقال له يسوع: أرد سيفك إلى مكانه، فإن الذين يلجؤون إلى السيف، بالسيف يهلكون." (متى:
another buddy of mine also reported the following :
"لا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ"
"إِنَّمَا يَنْهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَأَخْرَجُوكُم مِّن دِيَارِكُمْ وَظَاهَرُوا عَلَىٰ إِخْرَاجِكُمْ أَن تَوَلَّوْهُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُمْ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ"
