Hizbullah official Abdullah Kassir said on a February 15, 2023 show on Al-Manar TV (Hizbullah-Lebanon) that his motivation for getting married and having children was to "produce soldiers" for the Imam Mahdi, who is the messianic figure in Shi'ite belief. He explained that Sheikh Ragheb Harb, who was a senior Hizbullah commander in the early 1980s, used to say this as well, and the show's host responded: "This is the main strategic goal." Kassir also said: "Today, all the young people who wish to get married should take this advice." Abdullah Kassir has previously served as the chairman of Al-Manar TV's board, and he served one term as a Hizbullah MP. He currently serves as an assistant to Hashem Safieddine, the head of Hizbullah' Executive Council.</blockquote></ref>

... Outwardly, these monsters appear to be human beings. Yet mothers who carried them in the womb and bring them into this world, joyously encourage their children to kill themselves. Are not human mothers generally known for zealously protecting their children, cherishing them and protecting them with their own life? Are there any mothers reading this? What would you not do to keep your child alive for even one more moment? But these are mothers who make send-off video clips with their sons, both brandishing assault rifles, joyously anticipating the son's death and the death he is about to inflict upon other children. These are fathers who say that their only regret is that they don't have another 70 children who could die so that more Jews would die, but even so this one will be an example to the other siblings. "How beautiful it is to kill and to be killed," wrote one bomber in a note. Hizballah's Secretary General Nasrallah revealed the truth in a recent interview: "We have discovered how to hit the Jews where they are the most vulnerable. The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win, because they love life and we love death."

Nasrallah said "If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable(sic), weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion(sic), we would not find anyone like the (sic) Jew(sic). Notice I do not say the Israeli."<ref>Jeffrey Goldberg, [https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2002/10/14/in-the-party-of-god In the Party of...(Allah)], ''The New Yorker'', October 6, 2002.<blockquote><small>
Saad-Ghorayeb is hesitant to label Hezbollah’s outlook anti-Semitism, however. She prefers the term “anti-Judaism,” since in her terms anti-Semitism is a race-based hatred, while anti-Judaism is religion-based. Hezbollah, she says, tries to mask its anti-Judaism for “public-relations reasons,” but she argues that a study of its language, spoken and written, reveals an underlying truth. She quoted from a speech delivered by Hassan Nasrallah, in which he said, “If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable[sic], weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion[sic], we would not find anyone like the [sic] Jew. Notice, I do not say the Israeli.” To Saad-Ghorayeb, this statement “provides moral justification and ideological justification for dehumanizing the Jews.” In this view, she went on, “the Israeli Jew becomes a legitimate target for extermination. And it also legitimatizes attacks on non-Israeli Jews.”</small></blockquote>
