CNN’s Robertson: Killing of Hamas Leader Means His ‘Moderate Voice Is off the Table’
Breitbart ^ | 07/31/2024 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 07/31/2024 6:07:23 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an extended edition of CNN’s “Laura Coates Live” that covered the reported assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, CNN International Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson stated that the killing of Haniyeh means that his “moderate voice is off the table” because Haniyeh “was seen as a more moderate within Hamas.”

Robertson said, “This is going to be an extreme test of the new President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian. This is a man who’s quite literally just taken up his job, who has quite literally just seen one of his principal regional interlocutors who came to congratulate him and witness him taking on that new role, being assassinated and killed. He is seen as a moderate. That’s a relative term. And, of course, he’s constrained by other forces in Iran like the IRGC, the supreme leader. All of these individuals and bodies will have an impact on the decisions that he makes. But will he now be seen as somebody who acts with moderation or will he find himself taking a very, very tough line? And I think, as well, if you look at the implications of Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination, he was seen as a more moderate within Hamas. That moderate voice is off the table. Does it make a difference? He will be replaced. Will he be replaced by somebody more hardline? We don’t know.”

The speaker’s not merely insane. Nobody could be that nutty. He’s simply evil, like it or not. Sone people are just evil, period end of file.

I wonder if he would have had the same reaction if Goebbels or Goering or anyone else like that in the Nazi German government had been killed.

I suppose the Bolshevik Revolution suffered when Lenin died and they lost his moderate voice. Good ol’ Joe Stalin wasn’t as moderate.

“Moderate voice?? This POS was not Zell Miller. What is wrong with these idiots?”

Because each person’s viewpoint is from inside his head, he couldn’t possibly be far right of left. Afterall, he’s the center of everything. Right is over “there” and “eft is way over...”there.”

It’s Iran...

I am not an expert. But, from the little I know. If the Ayotollas were not 100% behind this guy.

There is NO way, he would have even been able to “run” for office.

I think “moderate” is the equivalent of Rino here?

"Seen as"......

Simplistic propaganda is the most effective propaganda. "Weird", huh?

“In 1942, the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich took his “moderate voice” of the table.”

From the article:

He is seen as a moderate. That’s a relative term.

The author agrees with you, and this quote tells the reader what the writer thinks of as moderate; someone who plans out and orders the killing of innocent people.

moderate and completely insane is a distinction without a difference...that said the soccer kids were killed by Hezbollah not Hamas but I’m sure Hamas would have been there in spirit so to speak

A Hamas moderate is a guy with expensive tastes, big bank accounts in Europe, shuttling among 5 star hotels as a “ negotiator” to spread bullshite, putting many layers between himself and the poor schlubs sent out to try to knife and blow-up Israelis.
