If there is one thing that Bambi learned from growing up during civil war, it is to read all media of all sides to build her own opinions. This is what she keeps doing, in our collectively insane times, whether in peace or in war. For instance, and to keep learning, she reads those whom she may not necessarily agree with on a topic, even before those she may share their opinion on this or that topic.
Bearing the above in mind, and in the spirit of continuous open-mindedness (or to gather evidence at the source), this is what she she did from day 1 of the tragic October 7th 2023, for ALL the innocent people of the Middle East, including her own birth country (since a doomed October 8 when the Hezbollah dragged Lebanon into this destructive war). Thus, her sources of information are diverse, ranging from L’Orient Le Jour [or Orient Today], to all the other Lebanese media, to the Times of Israel (as well as other Israeli media in English), to the Tehran times (and if in English, other Iranian sources) to Arabic media, including a Palestinian newsletter, etc.
Today, she wants to focus on an article she read in the Tehran Times entitled “Iranian students ask Hezbollah chief to hold Nasrallah’s funeral in Iran” (https://shorturl.at/AcguE).
As an example, even if clumsy, imagine that like in today’s Iran (at least as per the article cited above), five student unions of the UK or France, or even the States, would have asked to have the 1937 funeral of Brother (or Saint André too, since he was canonized by the Catholic Church) held in the respective countries. Would this have made any sense to French-Canadians or Québécois, especially those from Montreal or Mont Saint-Grégoire where he was born?
Of course, we cannot compare apples and oranges, even if deep inside they are both fruits and they taste good to those who enjoy their taste. Bambi is trying to say here that the late Brother André and the late Said Hassan Nassrallah are both men of faith and conviction. The first keeps dragging tourists to the Saint Joseph Oratory (https://shorturl.at/oAcvY) while the other kept dragging his country into wars.
Whether you are a fan or not, does it make sense to you that Iranian student unions, or the Iranian government in their name, is asking Hezbollah (which it founded and funded) to hold Mr. Nasrallah’s funeral in Iran?
