Hassan Nasrallah was a terrorist with American blood on his hands. Across decades, his leadership of Hezbollah destabilized the Middle East and led to the

President Biden and I do not want to see conflict in the Middle East escalate into a broader regional war. We have been working on a diplomatic solution along the Israel-Lebanon border so that people can safely return home on both sides of that border. Diplomacy remains the best path forward to protect civilians and achieve lasting stability in the region.

...and that is why we've handed billions upon billions of dollars worth of military equipment to the side actively committing a genocide, and why I'm putting out a statement condoning the political assassination of one of the people who we would theoretically be working with to create peace in the first place.

Death, and I cannot emphasize this enough, to America.
- In the mouths of western politicians, the word "diplomacy" is synonymous with unconditional surrender. They would rather burn the world to the ground than accept that they can't get all of their maximalist demands and engage in actual good faith negotiations with their adversaries, trying to work out a compromise.
  
  As seen in Nagasaki and Hiroshima
- Death to Israel. Death to Amerikkka and it's facilitation of child murder and ethnic cleansing
HEZBOLLAH destabilized the Middle East? A US Vice-President is saying this?
- They have always equated sovereignty with instability
Extremely funny how these statements come from Harris now because you just can't attribute anything coherent to Joe
- lol yeah
hezbollah never killed an american who wasn't where they weren't supposed to be

the idf has killed multiple americans in the west bank where they had a visa and permission from the country to be in

A lot of angry downvotes
- My downvote wasn't in anger. It's more about the fact that this isn't a news article which makes it questionably breaking the rules of this /c/. Combined with the headline being serious editorializing via broad generalization of what the statement is. Not saying it's not true, just that it's a unnecessarily sensational.
  
  MODS MODS an official statement from a politician isn't news 3 tiny paragraphs have to be filtered through a journalist or i can't read it
  
  the headline being serious editorializing
  
  what do journalists do i wonder
  
  It's a press release from the White House. Why would you need a journalist to stenograph it for it to become news?
  
  And OP's description is good, it helps cut through the typical liberal mealy-mouthed framings that are, otherwise, the only ones you would ever hear.
  
  To be honest i would trust Yogthos who has been posting news threads for years than some paid journalists that has an agenda to whatever news they report. It resembles the old forum era where if you hang around long enough, you can trust/trust a little some users.
  
  ...this isn't a news article... the headline being serious editorializing... Not saying it's not true...
  
  I think you might be the worst person ever
  
  Liberals...
- I downvoted and I'm not angry. I just recognize that this post is intentionally inflammatory and trolling. As is common from OP.
  
  Wtf are you talking about? It's literally a statement from the Whitehouse. How is Yog being intentionally inflammatory?!
  
  Posting news in a news comm of a presidential speech that is literally a link to the official government website of that president is "intentionally inflammatory and trolling"? This is a joke, right? You're doing a bit and playing a caricature of a typical lib clown?
  
  Why is it inflammatory? As a mod I'm genuinely surprised people are upset by this, it is a white house press statement with an editorialized title that summarizes the event quickly and without any commentary on it.
  
  I downvoted you, and I'm not angry. I just recognize that this comment is intentionally inflammatory and trolling.
The Joy Reich will secure living space.
- "They must secure the existence of their people and a future for joyful children"?
  
  Death to Amerika.
Death to Amerika; death to the settlers, death to the empire, death to its vassals.
Whoever assassinates Harris should use an edited version of this as their manifesto
- where's that meme image from
  
  This is apparently not the original version, but in the context in which it's used on hexbear, this is the full image:
- Is that Timmy Turner? lol
