The things that the socialist newspaper El País hides about Israel and the head of Hezbollah

PRISA's newspaper has been blatantly biased against Israel for years, but lately it has been going beyond all limits of infamy.

The curious coincidence between Hezbollah and the newspaper El País that explains certain lies
The elimination of the head of Hezbollah is good news for Israel, Lebanon, Argentina and Panama

El País criticises the elimination of the head of Hezbollah terrorists

Yesterday, El País published an editorial with this title: "Nasrallah, assassinated." With this title, the socialist newspaper refers to Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the terrorist organization Hezbollah, and specifically to his elimination in an Israeli airstrike against the command center of that criminal group in Beirut. El País considers the elimination of this criminal as an "assassination", stating the following:

"The assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah following the bombing of a residential area in Beirut confirms Benjamin Netanyahu's desire to provoke a large-scale war in the Middle East."

El País hides Hezbollah's 11 months of attacks against Israel

I have highlighted the lie in bold so that it is clear. Since October 8, 2023, the day after the Hamas terrorist attack against Israel and without prior provocation by the Jewish State, Hezbollah began a campaign of attacks with the launching of more than 8,200 projectiles against Israel, projectiles aimed at killing Israeli civilians. And now El País accuses Netanyahu of provoking a war by responding to those 11 months of attacks, instead of letting Hezbollah attack Israel and kill Israeli civilians without any response.

The socialist newspaper's lie about the Israeli attack on Hezbollah's leadership

El País also accuses Israel of carrying out "an indiscriminate attack against a civilian area of ​​Beirut, the capital of a sovereign country." It forgets to mention that the Lebanese government, an ally of Hezbollah, has tolerated the terrorist group's attacks against Israel from Lebanese soil for 11 months. For such a thing alone, Israel would have the right to declare war on Lebanon, with all the consequences. Despite this, the Israeli attacks have been very precise and have managed to decapitate the Hezbollah leadership in 10 days. No other army goes to such lengths as the Israel Defense Forces to avoid civilian casualties.

What El País also fails to mention is that Hezbollah uses civilians as human shields, just like Hamas, by locating its facilities in civilian residential areas. That is indeed a war crime, but the socialist daily does not even mention it.

El País avoids referring to Hezbollah as a 'terrorist'

Furthermore, El País describes Hezbollah as a "militia-party" and refers to its terrorists as "militiamen." The socialist daily also forgets to mention that Hezbollah is designated a terrorist organization by the European Union, the United States, and Canada.

US 'eliminated' Bin Laden but Israel 'murdered' Nasrallah, according to El País

The double standard when it comes to talking about deaths is a constant in the history of this newspaper. In 2011, El País headlined: "The United States kills Osama Bin Laden". It then stated that the US "eliminated" the "Saudi terrorist." The difference in treatment is evident, perhaps because Obama was governing in the US at the time and El País supported him?

El País did not classify the murder of 12 children by Hezbollah as 'murder'

On the other hand, on July 27, El País did not use the word "murder" but "attack" to refer to the murder of 12 children by Hezbollah. The socialist newspaper used the verb "kill" and not "assassinate" to refer to this crime, and began the text of its news by absolving Hezbollah of responsibility, again forgetting that it is a terrorist organization: "The Lebanese party-militia Hezbollah denies responsibility."

The common denominator between El País and Hezbollah: Qatar

El Pais’s blatant lies and manipulations against Israel should come as no surprise to anyone. As I pointed out a few days ago, one of PRISA’s main shareholders is a relative of the Emir of Qatar, a country that finances Hezbollah terrorists. Both Hezbollah and Qatar are united by a fanatical hatred against Israel in particular and against Jews. In fact, the Qatari channel Al Jazeera openly displays its antisemitism. PRISA's newspaper should be ashamed of having such a sponsor, but to be ashamed you have to be ashamed.

Finally, it is alarming that a newspaper that is so manipulative and so blatantly takes sides against the only democracy in the Middle East is a media outlet very close to the socialist government of Pedro Sánchez, which El País supports against all odds. The fact that the Spanish government relies on a newspaper like that largely explains Sánchez's hostility towards Israel and its alignment with the allies of Palestinian terrorism, including Qatar, at the United Nations.
