Rania Khalek is a journalist based in Beirut, Lebanon and apparently hosts In the NOW’s Soapbox channel, whatever that is. And she’s shocked at the reported death of Quds Force leader Qasem Soleimani. She was tweeting earlier in the week about how it was “pathetic for a so-called super power to get into a fight with a small militia” like Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces, or PMF.
But now that the United States has kicked things up a notch and taken out Soleimani, she’s amazed at the shock value. If it had happened in America, it would be like taking out George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Captain America.
The US (or israel or whoever did it, we still don’t know) assassinating Qasem Soleimani & PMF leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis is shocking. These guys defeated ISIS. Shock value is the equivalent of Iran taking out Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Captain America all in one. https://t.co/BrGRlMt2fI

I had no idea that conducting kinetic drops in airspace, that we control and have permission to operate within, to kill a military leader constituted an assassination.
Rania just hates the fact Trump got him.
If this is the standard: Iran has been at war with us for years. https://t.co/bdK52CFSlb

The war started in 1979….. get up to speed.

Ummm … deary … if anyone started a war, it's Iran. Trump and nobody else is pushing for war. Iran stepped in it and, now, they are paying the consequences. Plain and simple.

Its not an assassination while in a active war zone, and the person lead a "local" militia into a breach of a country's embassy (itself an act of war).

He had his hand in most terrorist activities Iran sponsored. Terrible take.

Had no idea Iran had the equivalent of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Captain America all wrapped up in one. Would of thought he'd been harder to kill. Go figure.

Soleimani was a key architect of the industrial-scale killing in Syria. May the hundreds of thousands of innocent souls perished haunt his dreams in hellfire forever.#TerroristSympathizer
