Hello, my name is Mustapha and I have been blogging about Lebanese society and politics since February 2005. You can also find me on twitter and on facebook
So Mustapha,
What happened? I thought Hezbollah had no support?
Why were they able to take over all of Beirut? Isn’t the army on Siniora’s side? It seems like the army supports Nasrallah, as do all the people.
I guess you were just a deluded idiot all along?
Siniora doesn’t have any support inside Lebanon. He can’t even control the Army. Hezbollah should arrest him.
shame on you brooklyn ; what gives Hezballah the right to arrest anyone ?
there are reports that gunmen for both talal arslan and the future movement are fighting it out in khalde.
The people give them the right, that’s who. They are easily the most popular alliance in Lebanon.
That’s why no one is challenging them, not even the army. Everyone wants Siniora to go.
And shame on you for supporting Israel.
See Brooklyn you are a shiite pest ; Yes after today God Bless Israel .
From Occupied West-Beirut, I say: God Bless Israel and God d*** the so-called “opposition” (which includes Hezbollah, SSNP, and Amal which are all on the streets as I type).
and to add on what ahmad said :
