Daily Inspiration Quote by Hassan Nasrallah

Nasrallah is doing something deceptively simple here: he collapses a hierarchy of violence into a single, blunt equivalence. “The Palestinian must stop throwing stones” evokes the image of improvised, youthful resistance under occupation; “Israelis must stop firing rockets” flips the script by assigning the heavier, militarized act to Israel, not Palestinians. Then comes the real payload: “in the view of the Sharm el-Sheikh summit, rockets are equal to stones.” He’s not merely disputing policy; he’s ridiculing the diplomatic grammar that makes asymmetry disappear.

The intent is twofold. First, to delegitimize a peace-process theater in which “both sides” are scolded in the same breath, as if disparities in power, technology, and control are irrelevant. Second, to reframe resistance and retaliation as morally and politically incomparable, even if officials insist on balancing the ledger. By foregrounding the summit’s equivalence, he invites listeners to hear it as absurd: a stone as a symbol of desperation; a rocket as a symbol of state or quasi-state force. The satire is in the calm, matter-of-fact delivery of what he implies is an obscene comparison.

Context matters: Sharm el-Sheikh refers to high-profile regional summits aimed at cooling escalation, often accompanied by calls for reciprocal restraint. Nasrallah, as a revolutionary leader with a constituency primed to distrust Western- and Arab-brokered initiatives, weaponizes that language. The subtext is a warning: if diplomacy treats resistance as terrorism and force as self-defense by default, then “peace” becomes another instrument of domination, not an exit ramp from conflict.
