Arabs Welcome Elimination of Hizbullah Secretary-General Nasrallah
(MEMRI) The targeted killing of Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah was received with joy by many Arab journalists and activists on social media, who called it a justified act that has made the world a safer place. Many thanked Israel and Allah for eliminating a man who was responsible for the killing of many Lebanese, Syrians and other Arabs. Lebanese-Iraqi journalist Hussain Abd Al-Hussain wrote: "I'm dancing with joy today like I did when Saddam [Hussein] fell in Baghdad." Saudi journalist Tariq Al-Homayed wrote: "Israel's intelligence infiltration of Hizbullah will remain the greatest story for decades to come." Kuwaiti liberal Jasem Al-Juraid wrote: "Thank you, Israel, for making the world a happier and safer place." Liberal Egyptian writer Dalia Ziada, who heads the MEEM Center for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Studies, wrote: "A huge portion of Muslims are so relieved by Israel's successful hunting of the ideological heads of the Iran-sponsored proxies that have been wreaking havoc in the Middle East for decades." Saudi journalist Kassab Al-Otaibi wrote: "Iran's servants keep repeating that Hassan Nasr-al-Shaytan was killed defending Jerusalem. That is a lie....He died defending Iran." "Nasr-al-Shaytan" means "victory of Satan," a play on the name Nasrallah, which means "victory of God."
