“Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror. His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis, and Lebanese civilians.”
Benjamin Netanyahu, Joe Biden and governments led by them were responsible for killing thousands of Lebanese and Palestinian civilians in just the past year alone as part of state terrorism and genocide. Would killing them be “a measure of justice” by the same standard (I’m not advocating for violence, just asking a theoretical question)?
It’s the killing of Hassan Nasrallah he calls “a measure of justice,” not Isreal’s attack <…>
Isn’t that one and the same in this case? If killing one valid target requires killing many innocent people, that’s not justice, that’s terrorism by US own definition.

Agreed which is why I think what Biden said is originally stupid and Tlaib is the correct thing to say
