beauty and resistance, i'm not a very spiritual person, i'm not a very well informed person on religion, but i think that this is something that is having a grow having a growing impact, as we speak their drones flying overhead, people are on the streets, children are in fear, israeli air strikes are going to begin again, they're going to just target people and then say we, we're... hitbullah sites and western media will just say what they the israeli say to to justify the genocide as they've been doing in gaza, but that won't take away the beauty of what hazbullah has done, what the resistance has done, and for those of us who are who haven't closed our eyes, we see that beauty, those who are better than the likes of me will understand it with greater depth. so so

uh professor, you of course did mention something about religion and what it has, with that culture uh derived from religion, how it influences the political views of the people, particularly those in the resistance front, uh, could you please tell us about the significance of martterdom and uh what it of this concept holds? well, it's interesting, you say that, one of the sky news reporters uh, because the they went from one reporter to another, they're all terrible, but one of the sky news reporters was saying that these people, meaning the resistance people, their culture is different from us, they they death is not a problem, it doesn't bother them, they move on, they they celebrate the martidom, and i was, as i was listening to of him, i was saying, the israelis have just massacred hundreds of people, if not thousands of people in lebanon. "they don't

care about human life, we care about human life, that's what the resistance is about, it's a preserve human life and dignity, it's a preserve honor. hezbullah is fighting to preserve the dignity and honor of the people of gaza and the west bank and palestine, but also the people of lebanon, and their marters are celebrated because they died for this cause, for righteous cause, but these people, they..." interpret in such an odd way and yet they don't seem to see or they don't want to see the irony of what they say that the israelies were just massacring people in gaza and in lebanon, in syria, because the syrians are supporting the resistance in lebanon and in the west bank, they break, they can just they they they can be antagonized and they can be bombed and or in westerners have no problem with that either, so... um, i think

that this is not a misunderstanding, it's what these people don't want to see, and they try to depict the resistance to be what it is not, but again, those who do see reality, those who are looking objectively at what's happening, see a greatness and say hasan nasarlah, and many of these young people around him, and many of these older people around him that uh that that inspires one and inspires us to be more like that, so one reason why i'm, i, i think that the resistance will grow and become stronger is is because said hasan nasarlah has taught us and the society to to look at the world differently, has taught us to open our eyes to the reality. uh of the world that we live

in, that this is not, we're not just here to live and grow old and have children and ultimately die, but we're here for for something much more important, and while i'm here in lebanon, i i see that, i see that when i i speak to young people in the resistance, they are so extraordinarily steadfast, it's unbelievable, you speak to them and they they they they're... not worried at all uh, even though they're they're you know very heartbroken, but they they say we will see this through, we will defeat the enemy, and there is a great deal of beauty in that, i shouldn't be, i shouldn't really continue, professor, thank you very much for sparing some time for us uh here on press tv as we cover uh the developing story and of course the solem uh news that we received. day about the

marturdom of sayd hasan nasrulah, leader of the lebanese resistance movement. thank you very much professor for joining us. as uh as we do so, to continue our discussion, we have mr. mohsan saleh, political commentator from beirot, back with us. mr. saleh, we were discussing the issue of martterdom and what it means uh for the people who are part of the resistance, uh, the concept that um it carries, and how it is perceived basically, do... "those who are part of the resistance see martterdom as a weakness or as a strength, what does it mean to be martered? well, i guess i uh answer this question before before professor mirandi uh when you

when the voice was cut, but i will repeat a little bit of it that martterdom means to witness is..." issues and deal with it in a righous way, to see the right path, and because you are believer, then you are doing something in order for the sake of god, not for the personal interest, and when you go in this path and you be killed by the enemy of god and the believers, then you get the martterdom, like imam hussain, he went into the path of god. and f for the the the reformation of the ummah of the nation, and he said that that yazid was a corrupt man and he was not on the right path and he killed the the the protected and the blessed and

souls of the believers, so imam hussain went into a revolution in order to stop this kind. of uh of evil doing now we are in in lebanon feel that israel as invader as an occupier uh israel as an agent of the american capitalist and american superpower and try to be the the most oppressor on earth by using these machines to kill everywhere in palestine and in lebanon. and in iraq, afghanistan, wherever you go, wherever they go, they kill, and wherever they go, they invade and occupy and suck the resources of the peoples, whether in the gulf or other places, they defended the shah before the revolution, and

they defended saddam before he attacks iran, and he attacks it for eight years and they defended all the despotic regime. and we believe that going in this path, which of course in this path, imam khumaini was the leader and said hasan nasar allah is also a leader and master in this path for 30 years defending lebanon and defending iraq and syria from the gangs of daesh and of of course the american intervention with the with its agen. the arab world and of course the zionist occupiers of palestine, so to be amater, that means you are going, as i said, in the just way, in the just manner, in just thinking, with wisdom, god wisdom, divine wisdom, and divine believe in your destiny,

this is our destiny of the freedom fighters and the let's to say the divine fighters for. for freedom and for liberation, because god doesn't want us to be humiliated or weakened by the superpowers or by these people who does not believe in god, but believe in materialistic, let's say teachings or or whatever or their interest, material interest, so it needs a lot of of talking, but god wants people to be noble, to be dignified and to be... protected and to be to be with a great value, with great value human being. these zionists and their masters in the west and in the united states, the want to enslave the people, to want them to be weak, also they they want them not to defend

their right in life and in their resources in order to live in a dignified manner and in a dignified life. i guess liberated not only the south as a land and also seeking to liberate al-quds, but also the mind the people from the complexity of the super power of israel and the united states, his challenge of these superpowers make them very angry and wanted to to kill him any point for 30 years, tried, tried, tried, then they brought all their sophisticated machines in order to to find the way to reach hasan. is

always be and will be and will be forever, eternally in the minds of the of the people of freedom, in the minds of the people who understand the the value of human being and its dignity and its honor and its living in a free life, a good life, in a way of of respect and in a way of loving each other and loving the the oppressed all the peoples from all colors, from all nations, from over all borders, let's to say hasan nasaralah appreciated human being, that's why he was killed because he was human being. thank you very much. mr. mohsen saleh, political commentator joining us live from beirot.

thanks for sharing your thoughts and views with us about said hasan nasarlah, leader of the lebanese resistance movement, hazbullah, who was martered in an israeli strike on one the buildings where he uh resided. we'll going to take a short break and we'll be back with more on this. east bayrut. at the age of 16, nasralah moved to the iraki holy city of nazaretf for religious education a seminary. he then continued to learn islamic teachings in lebanon and later in the iranian holy city of quom. but how did nasa enter politics? nasaralah joined the amel movement in 19. 1975 a time when lebanon was grappling with a civil war. 1982, israel launched an

aggression against lebanon and consequently invaded the arab country and with the civil war. in that year, while this agreements grew over how to resist the israeli invasion, nasralah joined hazballah and newly form resistance movement. in 1985, hezbollah released his first manifesto. in the same year, nasralah became the head of hizbolah's executive. council responsible for implementing the decisions of the movement shora council. it was in february 1992 when nasa became hezbollah secretary general following the assassination of his predecessor abbas al-musavi an israeli air strike. under nasaralah's leadership, hezballah carried out series of anti-israel operations, forcing israeli forces to withdraw from southern lebanon. but his name has been synonymous with heroic resistance against the israeli military. during a war in 2006 that lasted 33 days, on august 14th,

2006, the war ended with a crushing defeat for the israeli military thanks to the lebanese resistance and the role of nasralah. when the us was israeli genocide in gaza began in october 2023, hezbollah, under the leadership of nastrolah, stood firmly in support of palestinies. a day after the launch of the genocidal war, hezbulah began its retaliatory attacks. on israeli military positions in the occupied palestinian territories. nasarala about that the retaliatory attacks would continue as long as israel carries out its genocidal campaign against palestinians. nasrallah a shia cleric is revealed among the muslim world for his charismatic leadership of hesbollah and his steadfastness in the fight against israel. now, although all freedom loving people around the world are deeply. sadened by the heartbreaking news of the martterdom of hazbullah leader sayid hasan nasrullah,

reactions on social media clearly show that he has left his revolutionary spirit and opposition to oppression as an indestructible legacy among his supporters. let's take a look at these reactions. irish filmmaker shan murray wrote as: history has often taught us, there will be thousands to take hasan nasrulah's place. there will be no peace in the middle east without the return of palestinians to their historic homeland. and the destruction of a partide israel is the only thing that will bring peace. another ex-user wrote inspiring message: every member and leader of the resistance knows they risk losing their lives in the struggle for liberation. that is why they joined the resistance against the genocidal israeli

death cult. nasrallah after defeating the zionists many times and serving. "not only his own people of lebanon and that of palestine, but of humanity as a whole, now joins other resistance leaders who happily embrace their martterdom, knowing that the movement would outlive them and succeed in destroying the genocidal zionist death cult. now iranian academic sayad muhammad marandi also pointed out that others will follow, said hasan nasulah. path saying, young hezballah commanders, soldiers and supporters will follow his path of victory and the liberation of the palestinian people. another user who chose the name of the martered hezballah leader for their ex-account, has posted a quote from the martered leader

himself, kill us wherever you may, find us on every front and on every do'. of every and mosk, but know this, we are the followers of ali ibn abib, and we will not abandon palestine. vj prashad took to his ex-account as well and wrote, sad hasan nasarlah led the resistance, which will not bend, but grow, as his memory and example, seed new generation. he fought for his people, despite the immense personal. cost and was hated by his enemies because he defeated them. i saw him speak in beirot in 2013, most impressive man and a brilliant strategic thinker. his loss is a blow to lebanon, but he has taught two generations how to succeed him. he is drinking now from the fountain of karthar.

also, we have the british academic david miller. calling hazballah's assistance to the syrian people in their fight against foreign-back terrorism and he wrote, "yes, we remember what hazbollah did for the syrian people. they stood side by side with the syrian people and their government to put down a nato regime change op and to help defeat isis. they did this in concert with general hajqasim sulaimani, the quds force of the islamic revolution guards core and the iraqi popular. mobilization forces, in that struggle, they were helping also to repel the zionists who directly armed the so-called rebels as the zionist occupation forces admitted in 2019. key result was to keep supply lines open for the palestinian resistance, so yes, let's remember was did,

and also mimi alaham, known as girl wrote "one nasralah" will become millions and last, but not least, message from sulaiman from gihab: the symbol is gone, the legend is born, and the resistance continues, and yes, the resistance continues, because while said hasan nasarlah, may have been martered, the spirit of those who love. follow and revear him remains unyielding, more importantly, the path he has illuminated endurs unbroken and everlasting, his legacy lives on in the hearts of the faithful, and the cause he championed will never ever fade. iran's

president in a statement said the international community will not forget that the order for this terrorist. attack was issued from new york. said the americans cannot absolve themselves of complicity with israelis. he also offered condolences to all the oppressed and free people of the world on sayid hasan nasrulah's murder them. also in a statement, the supreme political council of ansarullah movement said marterdom of nasrulah will increase the flame of sacrifice, the heat of enthusiasm, the strength of determination, and the resolve to continue the path of resistance. the statement added, the inevitable outcome will be victory of resistance in the demise of the israeli enemy. hamas resistance movement said the murderdom of hisballah leader will be a curse that will hunt. israel, the group said it will illuminate and extended the path of resistance, which it said knows no defeat or surrender. palestinian islamic jihad

resistance movement said murderdom of nasrullah will only strengthen the resistance in lebanon, palestine in the region. the group said israel will pay the price for its crimes and heinous actions sooner rather than later. "we offer our sincere condolences and solidarity to the brotherly lamanese people and our brothers in hezbullah and the islamic resistance in lebanon. we condemn in these strongest terms the barbaric zinanist aggression and the targeting of residential buildings in beirot zahia, which proves the brutality of the occupation, rogue entity that disregards all international values and norms. and has proceeded to bladently threaten international security and peace. we hold designist occupation fully responsible

for this heinous crime and its dangerous repercussions on the security and stability the region and the us administration responsible for its continued support for israel. history has shown that whenever leaders of the resistance. die as marters, they will be succeeded by new generation of leaders who are braver, stronger and more determined to persist in the confrontation with the zionist enemy until it is defeated and eliminated from our land and our region. welcome back to our special coverage, as we tell you more about said hasan nasarlah, leader of the hazbullah resistance movement

of lebanon who was martered in an israeli strike by the israelis. of course, the president of iran masud pazayan has noted that the international community will not forget that the order of... nation was issued by new york, to discuss that further, we're joined by mr. rason risk, political analyst was also joining us live from beirot. mr. risk, thank you very much, what is your analysis of what the iranian president has said, the orders of the assassination of martter said hasan nasarlah was issued by new york, how true do you believe the sentence to be, what were the motivation? behind it, well first i would like to offer my condolescence to every freedom fighter in the world, not

only to the lebanese or to the muslim or the arab world, every freedom fighter would look up for mr. uh, for the martter leader, the great leader hassan nasrullah, second, i believe strongly believe that the orders couldn't come up couldn't take a place, couldn't carried out without uh, i believe it came from new york, i believe it was pushed by by by the american government, and all what has been said or denying any involvement of united states government of the the white house was not aware of this assassination is totally, total lies and lies by by biden administration and the white house. keep personnel, mr. martter hassanlah will be inspired or inspiring the generations and

after generations, the next generation will be much more, much more determined to take carry out his his mission and his letter to the to the freedom of every people on on earth, because this brutal occupation. of palestine and the brutal occupations from the americans to the whole world trying to to control the world and stuck the the the treasuries of the world, the other people also. we are now as a resistance movement in lebanon, we are fighting on behalf of humanity, we are defending freedom, freedom for every single person who would look up and care for dignity. and his his own his own believes, because i believe that the the the states of israel, what's called states of israel is totally employed by a brutal

government, a brutal administration in in in the white house, so now it's carrying the job on on mutual interest for the zionist and the american zionist also, and i can say that they are taking like look or they are similar to nazis, because they live on blood sucking, treasury sucking and stealing and thifting, everything. in this world now we because in our history we have all the demands, all the needs to be free, to live free, to liberate our country, to liberate our lands and no one will be able to come and defend us, except our hands and our will, our thoughts, our stories that we tell to the to the generations, next generations, americans

wants to control the whole middle east. want to to take over the whole middle east, wants to israel to dominate the area of the region on behalf or the interest of united states, so this this company, this this kind of coalition between the israelis and the americans, we cannot differentiate from both sides, there are one side, they are fighting for each other, they are fighting the interest of each other, or acigenating the martter hassan was by bus bunker bombs supplied by the united states, the the whole you know air parade was about 82 tons of high explosives, which is demolished many many buildings around the center, the the

headquarter of... that was supplied by this ammunition and this kind of weapon while weapons was supplied by the americans, and we all know that they have used the f-35 jet fighters also, which is an american fighters and we all know that observing and controlling the sky just sneaking on us around the world around the clock every single minute. "we are under under observation, so this and the british also we must not forget the role of the the dirty role of the british government and the british intelligence and the british army also involved in this intelligence service supplying the israelis by very important informations which is leaking out of the country to those intelligence service by some

cheap people who sell sold" themselves to the devil. now hasan nasrallah will not be ever forgotten. hassan nasrallah now is a legend is legacy to the to the whole generations, for many generations to come, will inspire the the revolution, every revolutionary in in around the world will be inspired and carried the thoughts, the words and the missions of hassan masralla without hesitate. because this hassan nasrella has you know led this revolution for 32 years moving from one victory to another and achieving many many many things liberating lebanon from the from the occupation and now we are facing another war the war that carried out now by the

israelis and the the us i can describe it by ethnic cleansing happening in the 21st century, it's against the shit, against the people who looking up for freedom, not only the shit, but the majority of the shiit and other other religious groups, because everyone who is denying or refusing to obey the orders or to be the slaves of this country will not accept what's "the americans, all the europeans are offering to us, they are offering us nothing, they are offering to take our dignity and our freedom, our liberty, and they want to control us, that we will, all they want is we become slaves for those blood suckers like the the german, french, british, americans, and above top of all those are the uh, the uh, the uh,

the government, the israel. government now the the battle is or the war is taking a turn, it's a new era for the revolution, they thought that by assassinating. australa will put end to the revolution. i can tell you now we are seeing a giant revolution is has been born. now it's a new era for the for the revolution. we are going to see so many tremendous efforts and achievements from the new leaders, whoever they are, no matter who who they are, they matter is that if you live in lebanon and you can you see the fighters in lebanon. see the people in lebanon how are so desperate, enthusiastic to support the resistance, to support hizballah, to support any kind of resistance against the uh this

brutal aggression coming from the israelis. i believe now they are going to regret so much so that they have by killing or assassinating the martter hassan nasrella. hassan nasrella. was very kind person, very kind leader, was a good negotiator, was a good listener, but now i think the new leader, whoever he is, whoever he's going to be, i think he is not going to be as lenience as hassan nasralla, he is not going to be a good listener as hassan nasralla, he is going not, he is not going to be fooled by by by by those offers. that by the the spy of israel uhstein or by the the representatives or the delegates of the the french or the germans, now we are not going.
