NEWSRAEL: Once, the West could look at the Middle east and say, "Oh - it is only there, so far away." Now, you might well have Jihadis for your new neighbors.
"We are celebrating the legacy of our beloved leader Nasrallah – a great leader, phenomenal human being, military general, and martyr".
On February 23, 2025, a vigil was held in Washington Park, New York City, to honor Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine on the day of their funeral in Beirut.
A man, his face covered by a keffiyeh, spoke about celebrating the legacy of their “beloved leader.” He described Nasrallah as a great leader, a phenomenal human being, a military general, and a martyr, noting his "humility" and "altruism."
Protesters chanted slogans such as “Take back ’48!” “Free Tel Aviv!” and “Globalize the Intifada!”
A shrine was set up for the leaders, who were assassinated in Beirut, Lebanon in September and October 2024, along with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed in Gaza in October 2024.
In a statement, posted on Unity of Fields on Telegram, organizers wrote: “Today we honor the revolutionary lives of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.
They join the ranks of the great revolutionary martyrs...
The so-called "United States of America" is on its last legs. Our role as revolutionaries here is to do everything in our power to hasten its collapse and serve the colonized people within its borders.
The growing anti-imperialist consciousness on college campuses and the use of political violence against individual members of the ruling class—these are all actions that attack the US empire at its internal pressure points. As revolutionaries, we must build the popular cradle of resistance.
A message to the scum of nations and the pigs of the earth: Glory to he who makes the occupier taste bitterness. Long Live the Axis of Resistance and the International Popular Cradle of Resistance."
