Ali Mortada, a Lebanese journalist and war correspondent, is an outspoken advocate for Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist organization known for its violent acts against Israel and destabilizing influence in Lebanon. Far from being a neutral journalist, Mortada has used his platform, particularly through Al Mayadeen TV, to promote Hezbollah’s terrorist activities and push an anti-Israel narrative. His provocative segments, such as his infamous “Hello, my enemies” address aimed directly at Israelis, are blatant attempts to legitimize Hezbollah’s violence and manipulate public opinion in favor of terror.

Hezbollah is not a “resistance” movement—it is a terrorist organization responsible for numerous attacks on civilians and ongoing violence in the region. Mortada plays a significant role in glorifying these acts of terror, often reporting from areas near the Lebanon-Israel border to highlight Hezbollah’s unchecked military presence. He portrays Israel as the aggressor, even as Hezbollah’s terror operations, including rocket attacks targeting Israeli civilians, continue to escalate tensions. Mortada’s support for Hezbollah is clear—he consistently frames their terrorist acts as heroic “resistance” and aligns himself with their extremist ideology.

Mortada has gone beyond typical reporting by openly wishing harm upon Israeli civilians, reportedly saying, “May you have very bad luck and may you all die.” Such statements reveal his deep-rooted hostility toward Israel and highlight his complicity in supporting a terrorist organization whose goal is not just opposition to Israel but its destruction, all while advancing Iran’s influence in the region.

Mortada’s controversial position as a journalist is not about objective reporting—he is a key player in Hezbollah’s propaganda machine. His work serves to legitimize the terror group’s violent actions, from targeting civilians to spreading chaos across the Middle East. Following or supporting Mortada means endorsing the violent terrorism that Hezbollah stands for.
