Actually, the overwhelming majority of the quotes are anti-Zionist rather 
than anti-Semitic. This, of course, was the intention of the article--to 
make an amalgam between the two. I don't think it is worth trying to 
"explain" Nasrallah's anti-Semitic formulations. If the average American 
will allow himself or herself to get sidetracked by them, they are likely 
to be using them as an excuse for backing Israeli terror.
