Hezbollah, which is backed by Syria and Iran, accused Israel of the killing, but the Jewish state swiftly denied any role.

Maybe some patriots have started a private super-fund to clean up hazardous waste?

Yes, they do. As it should be. Surrounded by enemies, they have little choice.

Never heard Persian rap, but if it’s anything like American rap I can see why they’d ban it! LOL

The Syrians/Hezbollah have been blowing up Lebanese leaders who want an independent country. It’s nice to see one of theirs go up, whoever did it.

Maybe I’ll add some verses....

Mughniyah, yo’ is odd, yo’ were tryin’ to spread soom gloom, but yo’ ran into Mossad, and then yo’ went kaboom!
Hizballah took a fall-ah, next is Baitallah, after him Dadallah and the Iranian Ayatollah, then we’ll hit Ramallah, and then comes King Abdallah!
