Hezbollah — 2009 Manifesto + Nasrallah supplementary (Zionism-as-occupiers-not-Jews-as-religion, Israel-as-cancer-to-be-eradicated)

From Hezbollah's 2009 Political Manifesto (released 30 November 2009 by then-Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut as a doctrinal update from Hezbollah's 1985 Open Letter — the 2009 Manifesto is the foundational document of Hezbollah's post-Cedar-Revolution political positioning):

2009 Political Manifesto (Hezbollah's foundational articulation of its conflict with Israel as political-not-religious):
'Our problem with [the Israelis] is not that they are Jews, but that they are occupiers who are raping our land and holy places.'

Supplementary Nasrallah quotes (from Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah 1992-2024):

3 August 2006 (Nasrallah's iconic 2006 Lebanon War televised threat to Israel during the 33-day war):
'If you hit Beirut, the Islamic resistance will hit Tel Aviv and is able to do so with God's help.'

2 August 2013 (Al-Quds Day speech, on Israeli state in the broader regional discourse):
Israel 'is a cancer that must be eradicated.'

October 7+ era response: Nasrallah characterized the Hamas Oct 7 attacks as 'a heroic operation' — Hezbollah's missile and drone attacks against northern Israel began immediately after 7 October 2023 in solidarity with the Palestinians. Nasrallah was killed by Israeli airstrike 27 September 2024 in Beirut.
