Turns Out, Its More of a 'Jewish' Than 'Israeli' Thing for Hezbollah

All this time, we've been laboring under the impression that Hezbollah was murdering Israelis because they are a "resistance organization" and they're trying to defend Lebanese territory. Activists and journalists everywhere insisted that Hezbollah was an anti-Zionist organization bravely targeting Israelis, rather than an anti-Semitic organization genocidally targeting Jews. Imagine our shock this morning to discover that this whole time we were being lied to, and that Hezbollah really is focused on killing Jews:

Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah apologized for an attack that killed two Israeli Arab children in northern Israel, saying the youngsters were "martyrs for Palestine." In a Thursday interview with Arabic-language news network Al-Jazeera, Nasrallah accepted responsibility for the Wednesday attack, while conceding that an apology to the family was not sufficient. "To the family that was hit in Nazareth -- on my behalf and my brothers', I apologize to this family," he said. "Some events like that happen. At any event, those who were killed in Nazareth, we consider them martyrs for Palestine and martyrs for the nation. I pay my condolences to them."

Just think - if they were wrong about Hezbollah, what else could all of the anti-Zionists be wrong about? You don't think... you don't think that it might turn out that the Palestinians hate Jews too, do you?
