(Forward) Aviya Kushner - National Public Radio host Ayesha Rascoe described Hassan Nasrallah of Hizbullah as a "towering figure and leader." In 1983 and 1984, Hizbullah's suicide truck bombings killed nearly 300 Americans and Lebanese. TWA Flight 847 was hijacked on June 14, 1985, by Hizbullah terrorists brandishing grenades and pistols. The FBI reported, "Over a horrific 17 days, TWA pilot John Testrake was forced to crisscross the Mediterranean with his 153 passengers and crew members, from Beirut to Algiers and back again....The terrorists had tied passengers up and were beating them, threatening to kill them unless hundreds of Lebanese were released from Israeli prisons." Hizbullah crossed the border and kidnapped three Israeli soldiers on Oct. 7, 2000. More recently, Hizbullah sent its fighters into Syria to help Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, responsible for the deaths of at least a half million of his own people and the displacement of millions. Hizbullah also helps Iran's militia allies in Yemen and Iraq. And ever since Oct. 7, Hizbullah has been raining rockets on Israel. Since when does a terrorist and murderer of Americans become a "towering figure?"
