"However, they did not treat the reasons that led to this condition. I believe that the conditions in the Palestinian territories are alway capable of explosion because the same circumstances are there"
About this Quote
The real engine is the word “explosion.” He’s not describing a spontaneous riot; he’s normalizing future violence as the predictable physics of pressure and confinement. That framing does two things at once. It absolves the coming blast of being irrational or extremist (“same circumstances are there”), while quietly threatening inevitability: if you keep the system, you get the detonation. In revolutionary rhetoric, inevitability is power. It shifts agency away from the actors who will light the match and onto the structures that “made it happen.”
Context matters: Nasrallah speaks as the leader of Hezbollah, a movement that has long positioned itself as armed “resistance” tied to the Palestinian cause, and as a regional actor benefiting from a narrative where diplomacy fails and militancy becomes the only intelligible response. The vague “they” is strategic ambiguity: it can mean Israel, the U.S., Arab governments, the Palestinian Authority, international mediators - whoever the listener already distrusts. That lets the quote travel across audiences, converting frustration into a single conclusion: until root conditions change, unrest isn’t a risk. It’s a schedule.
