SS: Israel performed a very unconventional high-profile trolling today when it executed a gameday-like flyover of Hezbollah’s deceased leader Hassan Nasrallah’s funeral in Lebanon. The operation, which utilized two F-35Is and two F-15Is, was dramatic and clearly meant to send an intimidating reminder to the Iranian-backed group and its tens of thousands of supporters down below.
Hassan Nasrallah was killed in a mass strike executed by the Israeli Air Force on a Hezbollah underground bunker and command center located beneath a residential area in suburban Southern Beirut. The strike happened nearly five months ago, but the war with Israel kept a full public funeral from happening. Israel also released footage of the bombardment of the bunker for the first time today. It is known that dozens of JDAMs with BLU-109/B warheads were used to devastate the subterranean facility.
The large-scale gathering in Beirut also mourned the loss of Hashem Safieddine, who commanded Hezbollah for a very short period following Nasrallah’s death, before Israel killed him too.
To understand this behavior, you need to consider how cultures and societal norms are shaped by guilt, shame, and fear.
– **Guilt-based cultures**, mostly the West, operate by defining what is „right“ and „wrong.“ Individuals feel guilt when they act against these moral standards.
– **Shame-based cultures**, which encompass much of the rest of the world, focus less on right and wrong and more on honor and disgrace. In East Asian cultures, for example, „saving face“ is a major influence on behavior, while in the Middle East, family and group honor play a central role.
– **Fear-based cultures** are rare today but can still be seen in specific environments. For example, in prisons, adherence to social norms is largely driven by fear.
You can find an interesting map of how these cultural models apply globally [here](https://honorshame.com/map/). While all societies incorporate elements of each, they tend to lean more heavily in one direction.
Israel’s culture blends European guilt-based values with Middle Eastern shame-based influences. In this case, some parts of the population are outraged that Nasrallah is being honored in death, so these symbolic fighter jet flyovers serve as a way to „assert dominance“ or, in a shame-based lens, to restore honor.
This behavior might seem odd from a Western perspective, but understanding these cultural dynamics might give you a better understanding on the motivations on both sides. If you think about it, celebrating Nasrallah as a martyr is also rooted in honor and shame.
