  • Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the revolutionary who fought for the oppressed
    Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah whose words defied the empire and shook the imperialist centers of power to their very core (Illustrated by Batoul Chamas; Al Mayadeen English)

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is a revolutionary who, until his last breath, fought to liberate the oppressed who fought for freedom, for justice, and for dignity.

What can be said about our beloved leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the revolutionary, visionary, and iconic leader who held a highly revered status among his people?

A man who, through his words and actions, became an inspiration to the oppressed across the globe, a man whose honor, morality, integrity, deep compassion, and empathy shone like a beacon of light in an increasingly dark and evil world.

How many heroes have we lost, too many, too soon, and too young?

The fascist and racist Zionist cabal that infests Palestine brutally assassinated Sayyed Nasrallah. His martyrdom stood as a testament to his unwavering support for justice for the oppressed.

He was martyred in the service of his people, for the liberation of others, with him being a soldier on the battlefield, a warrior in an eternal struggle of right vs. wrong, just vs. unjust, and morality vs. immorality. Faced with occupation, he chose freedom, he took a stance to make a difference, struggling with every fiber of his being to end tyranny and to bring peace to the world through the strength of his character.

This is how I remember Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. He has taken his place among the legion of fallen martyrs stretching from Lebanon through Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Chile, Ireland, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Sayyed Nasrallah, like Che Guevara, Allende, Patrice Lumumba, Chavez, Mandela, Connolly, and Gandhi, lives on in the hearts of all those who rail against injustice, the enslavement of people, and the inequality shown through corrupt practices of imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism.

The movement, led by Sayyed Nasrallah, was a reaction to the Zionist occupation of his country, the colonial occupation of Palestine, and Western hegemonic interference in West Asia.

Sayyed Nasrallah became the hero, fighter, and liberator he was under the harsh conditions imposed upon him and his country.

He is not just a huge loss to his family, community, nation, and region; he is an irreplaceable loss to the Axis of Resistance, his global comrades, and humanity.

I mourn his passing but take solace in knowing he was martyred as he lived, leading the battle to liberate the world from evil and end people's suffering.

He died in the fight against fascism. He died in the fight for humanity. He died for freedom. He died for justice. He died for you, and he died for me.

“Without dignity, there is no liberty, without justice, there is no dignity, and without independence, there are no free men," Patrice Lumumba once said.

“So long as there is imperialism in the world, a permanent peace is impossible,” Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

I will miss his intellect, humor, humility, compassion, and empathy for the oppressed, the marginalized, the isolated, the downtrodden, the poor, and the occupied.

Most of all, I miss his speeches. His words defied the empire, shook the imperialist centers of power to their very core, and embodied the voice of resistance for all to hear.

My hero is this eternal legend who is Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, whom we may not see his like again.

We loved his wisdom, and we shall honor his legacy.

Even in death, his vision to liberate West Asia from foreign interlopers may yet come to pass. That would be our inheritance, a world that he envisaged as one of peace and justice, thus being worth struggling for.
