Shame and disgrace. The assassination of Hezbollah Secretary General and terrorist Hassan Nasrallah, a welcome move that was one of the significant bright spots in light of the tense security situation in recent times, was widely covered in Israel as well as in the world. However, not all media in the enlightened and advanced countries covered the coverage negatively.

In one of the articles in the respected French newspaper "Le Monde", Nasrallah was described as a pleasant person, who was an avid sports fan and a football fan. "Besides the political and social activities, he also played in his youth and was a fan of Diego Armando Maradona," it says.

The one who really didn't like the same coverage was another French journalist, Alba Ventura, who came out strongly against the embracing words and the descriptions that in a world that strives for truth research simply seem illusory.

"Did Nasrallah love football? Adolf Hitler also loved dogs according to what they say. For me it's the same," Ventura raged on a broadcast on the local TV channel, "Just read and vomit. Reminds everyone that this is a mass murderer who even murdered French people. Shocked by the coverage he received in France."

I seem to remember some kids in Iran being butchered for getting caught playing football (soccer). Doncha know, if the Prophet didn’t do it, it is evil.

One finds reference to that "Western" apologia which the press plays, for it is in the US media's sentiment to make dumb analysis.

One reads:

"The article, which appeared to be a preemptive piece anticipating Nasrallah's potential death after the IDF's strike on Hezbollah's headquarters, initially bore the headline 'Charismatic and shrewd: A look at longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.' This characterization drew immediate comparisons to The Washington Post's controversial description of al-Qaida leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an 'austere religious scholar' following his death in 2019."

AP under fire for describing Hezbollah leader 'charismatic and shrewd' 29 September 2024.

France has its Vichy sentiments and we have our version too. Infuriating.

Even bleeding hearts, diversity mongers and the terminally stupid in western nations like England, France and The USA are beginning to see the results of allowing their countries to be invaded by muslim terrorists.

100% evil people do not really exists.
Stalin could crank a joke sometimes.
Hitler could paint and has been portraited as very friendly to children.
I bet even Mao or Pol Pot had some friendly side to them.

Who cares, they were evil, and should be portraited like that!

France, the country that harbored the Ayatollah Khomeini for years.

The fact Nasrallah existed is testimony to the fact that France is now and has been for decades a minor player in world affairs. Although claiming a parental association with Lebanon, France and French businesses and institutions were completely unable to alter the destructive course Lebanon began in 1976.

France really isn’t

Charismatic and shrewd.
_____________

To get to the top and run any evil empire, especially when founding one, you usually need to be charismatic and shrewd.
only people after you could be bores.

See Lenin vs Brezhnev, Chaves vs Maduro, etc.

Well, hopefully he had a game on the telly when the JDAM came through the roof.

Here at SCTV we’ve told you what programming we’ll have when you donate your money. But we haven’t told you what we’ll show if you don’t donate. That’s right, soccer. Hours and hours of soccer.
