Christians in Lebanon who had suffered under the Shiite Islamic terrorist group are also celebrating.

Campus Islamist campus hate groups are less happy including ‘Jewish Voice for Peace’ at the University of Michigan which is neither Jewish nor peaceful, and whose account appears to be run out of Lebanon.

And the media is already rolling out its best “austere religious scholar” takes for Hezbollah terror boss Hassan Nasrallah.

The New York Times led the way with the worst possible coverage headlined, “Protesters Mourn Nasrallah’s Death Around the World”.

The paper described Nasrallah as “a towering figure not only in Lebanon but across the Middle East”, a “powerful orator, he was beloved among many Shiite Muslims, a historically marginalized group in the Arab world” and falsely claimed that “Mr. Nasrallah was opposed to Israel, which he called “the Zionist entity,” and maintained that there should be one Palestine with equality for Muslims, Jews and Christians.”

The Washington Post dismissed the months of Hezbollah shelling that depopulated Israel’s north as “sporadic barrages into Israel” and described Nasrallah as “as a father figure, a moral compass and a political guide” to his supporters.
