Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Hizballah top dog Nasrallah threatened to blow up Israel with same chemicals as Beirut blast

Aug 6, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What a remarkable coincidence. Could there possibly be some connection between Hizballah and this blast, which many are insisting was an accident? If there is, will we ever know that for sure, or will it be obscured for fear of “Islamophobia”?

“Nasrallah threatened to blow up Israel with same chemicals as Beirut blast,” by Seth J. Frantzman, Jerusalem Post, August 5, 2020:

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah threatened in the past to destroy Israel by causing a massive explosion in the port of Haifa using ammonia tanks that he said would be like a “nuclear” explosion. In addition Hezbollah allegedly sought to acquire ammonium nitrate via Syria since 2009 and tried to infiltrate the agriculture ministry in Lebanon to do so, according to leaked diplomatic cables.

The archival footage has been circulating in the wake of the massive explosion in Lebanon that killed more than 100 and injured 4,000 and has left hundreds missing. It illustrates Hezbollah’s terrorist strategy of targeting civilians for mass murder, despite the organization’s claim that it is “resisting” Israel by defending Lebanon….

In February 16, 2016 Nasrallah also said that ammonia is stored in Haifa and that there are 15,000 tonnes of gas Haifa and that explosions there might cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people. “the expert added that this is exactly like a nuclear bomb. In other words Lebanon has a nuclear bomb. This is not an exaggeration.” Nasrallah laughs as he says this in the video, noting that Hezbollah refrained from striking the ammonia in the 2006 war.

Nasrallah told his audience that with several missiles his terror group could set off the ammonia with the same impact of a nuclear weapon. He said he had consulted experts and that 800,000 people would be affects and tens of thousands killed. In February 2017 he made another speech mentioning ammonia stored in Haifa. On Al-Mayadeen TV he said that a decision was made ‘several days ago that the ammonia storage tanks must be emptied.” He claimed it was because the “resistance” had talked about the storage tanks.

“Moreover there is a ship that brings the ammonia, and distributed it to the Haifa facility and I said that the Haifa facility is the equivalent of a nuclear bomb, but the ship that carries ammonia to occupied Palestine is like five nuclear bombs,” Nasrallah said in 2017….

    I wonder if the Muslims believe this happened because of the will of God … or at least their god.

      Hint to Muslims: Somebody’s god does not want you to be building bombs to blow up Israel.

      Ismaila,

      I looked and looked, but I could not find any country in the world that is spelled “esrael”.

      Is this extraterrestrial?

      I don’t think we know yet–and given that Lebanon is under the Hezb’allah heel, we may never know.

    That Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah ,may yell and threaten to blow up the Jewish State of Israel all he wants to. Nevertheless, Nasrallah is greatly overruled by none other than the God of the Bible.

    For He will save and protect Israel from destruction. As Psalm 135:4 informs the reader “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself. Israel for His special treasure.” [N.K.J.V.]

    Hizballah top dog Nasrallah threatened to blow up Israel with same chemicals as Beirut blast
    ………………..

    Well, this is probably what these chemicals were being stockpiled for in the first place. I doubt that Lebanon just needed a whole lot of agricultural fertilizer…

    Apparenty, they’ve stashed this in other major cities. People have learned to compromise and accept Islamists, allowing them to have an advantage. If they haven’t been accepted, then they cry, Islamaphobia. Surely they get why people are cautious of them after all their years of destruction, and slaughtering of other faiths. They have proved they can’t be trusted and we wonder, if Iran had any part in this.

      You aren’t wrong, Eli:

      “Hizballah kept three metric tons of ammonium nitrate, the explosive behind Beirut blast, in London storehouse”

    Nasrallah knew what he is doing .
    Used a storage site close to Christian East Beirut
    To sideline the southern suburbs where the Shi’a population reside.

    After seeing various photos and videos of this horrific explosion, it seems to me that it is just as likely human error caused this as any intentional act.

    Daily Mail stuff is usually very superficial, but they had some very interesting photos and videos that were taken by someone immediately before the blast. The lack of safety measures and security at that site all but guaranteed that something catastrophic was bound to happen.

    At least 10 Lebanese firefighters died in the initial response. To me, it does not matter what religion, sect, or clan these people belonged to. They selflessly ran toward the danger zone (including at least one female) to try to put out the fire. I suspect that they did not know what was in there due to the minimal response (1 engine, 1 fast response vehicle-not sure what that was). I saw minimal to no protective turn out gear worn by those in the pictures. The photos were from the cell phone of a person killed at the blast site.

    The photos of mangled civilians are beyond words. Unfortunately, due to the players involved in Lebanon, the truth of who is not responsible for this mayhem will never come out.

    I have known a number of people from Lebanon over the years, mainly Christians. What Lebanon once was is now but a long past memory. I knew a few people from the states that actually studied for 1-2 years in Beirut before the civil war started. I wish I had been able to see the place. It was truly an international city and a great place to visit. Now, it is a great idea to get as far away from there as possible.

      Sorry for the typo. I meant to say that who is or is not responsible for the mayhem will never come out. Just a lot of finger pointing, but no truth. The guys with the lowest level of responsibility will be blamed.

      This huge stash of ammonium nitrate was an accident waiting to happen.
