Here was Hezbollah’s reaction to these mass protests calling on the entire sectarian political elite, all wings of it, to “resign or hang”:
“If you want to start a battle against the resistance over this incident, you will get no results. The resistance, with its strength and patriotism, is greater and bigger and stronger than to be hit by those liars who want to push and provoke for civil war. They will fail and they will always fail.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/beirut-braces-for-protests-as-grief-over-blast-turns-to-fury-resign-or-hang/2020/08/08/5c050e3e-d8e2-11ea-a788-2ce86ce81129_story.html?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most You could call him a completely aloof moron to react like this in the face of anger over Beirut being blown to bits, but only if you expected better. Of course Hezbollah is nothing but an equal part of the venal sect-based capitalist class running Lebanon, so this kind of reaction is only to be expected. But hopefully it helps further unmask this despicable cult, if 8 years invading Syria and killing for Assad hasn’t. The “resistance” he still dares to call his sectarian militia. Indeed it is, it is a lead part of the regional resistance to Arab freedom. Oh, “resistance” to the Israeli occupation, is it? That’d be the occupation that was driven out 20 years ago. Anyone that thinks some badge earned back in ancient history has any meaning whatsoever today has been deluded for many years now, but if they still think that, there are not really any words. “Resign or hang” is an excellent slogan for the new uprising.
