Former U.S. military official, UN ex-diplomat told qodsna:

Nasrallah, was a strategist/ Israel committing genocide in Gaza

Gordon Duff told qodsna that by every legal definition — under the UN Genocide Convention, under the Geneva Conventions, under the Rome Statute — Israel’s war in Gaza is genocide.


Tehran (Qodsna)- The Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah marked first anniversary of the assassination of its former secretary-general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

 

Nasrallah was martyred on September 27, 2024 in a Zionist regime’s air strike in a southern suburb of Beirut that used American-made bunker buster bombs.

 

The Lebanese Resistance continues to stand as a supporter of the Palestinian Resistance. The master of the martyrs of Palestine, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, along with senior Hezbollah commanders, were martyred in the path of jihad and resistance.

 

Palestine and all Resistance supporters consider the martyrdom of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah to be a tremendous loss for Palestine, Lebanon, the entire Ummah, and the entire Axis of Resistance.

 

On the first anniversary of the of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Qods News Agency (qodsna) interviewed with Gordon Duff, former UN Diplomat, former U.S. military official, Advisor to The Intel Drop, senior editor of Veterans Today and military analyst.

 

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was not merely a military commander or a political figure — he was a strategist who understood the asymmetry of modern conflict better than most generals in uniform, he said.  

 

led Hezbollah not through brute force, but through patience, precision, and an unshakable belief in the power of resistance rooted in community. Under his leadership, Hezbollah became more than an armed group — it became a parallel state within Lebanon, providing social services, medical care, and education where the government could not or would not. That is what made him dangerous to his enemies: he didn’t just command fighters. He commanded loyalty. He didn’t just launch rockets. He built institutions. His assassination in September 2024 was not just an attempt to decapitate a movement — it was an admission that conventional military power could not defeat him on the battlefield. And yet, even in death, his legacy endures — not in monuments, but in the quiet determination of those who still believe resistance is not terrorism, but the last language of the unheard.

 

Pointing to the second anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Storm and Zionist regime’s crimes in Gaza, he said that during two years (of Israael’s war in Gaza), sixty-five thousand dead. Entire generations erased. Hospitals turned to rubble. Universities reduced to dust. Bakeries bombed. Water systems poisoned. Children buried under concrete with no one left to dig them out.

 

“This is not war. War implies combatants. Frontlines. Rules. What has happened in Gaza is systematic annihilation — not of Hamas, but of everything that sustains human life. The targeting of medical facilities, schools, refugee camps, and residential towers is not collateral damage. It is policy. The use of white phosphorus in densely populated areas. The blocking of food, water, and medicine. The mass displacement of over a million civilians into uninhabitable zones. These are not accidents. They are tactics.”, he added

 

“By every legal definition — under the UN Genocide Convention, under the Geneva Conventions, under the Rome Statute — this is genocide. Not a debatable point. Not a political opinion. A factual, legal, moral reality” Gordon Duff added.

 

Former U.S. military official said that Israel has not just failed to achieve its stated goals — it has exposed the hollowness of those goals. You cannot destroy an idea with bombs. You cannot erase a people by killing their children. And you cannot win a war when the world is watching — and recording — every crime.

 

The future does not belong to Netanyahu. Or Biden. Or the generals who thought precision munitions could crush a nation’s will. It belongs to the survivors. To the doctors stitching wounds by flashlight. To the teachers writing lessons in the sand. To the mothers whispering names into the dark so they won’t be forgotten, he added.  

 

“They will rebuild. Not because they have weapons. But because they have memory. And memory, unlike missiles, cannot be intercepted”, Duff noted.
