Protests continue in Nabatieh despite Nasrallah’s support for government
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] On Friday, Hezbollah’s leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
 ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
made a speech in which he asked his supporters to refrain from protesting.
"You want to protest, you need money. How is this protest being funded? Please explain to us how? You ask for transparency, then give it to us. Are you getting paid by certain embassies?" said Nasrallah.
Despite his call, hundreds in the town of Nabatieh, a Shia town considered a stronghold for the Iranian-backed organization and its allies, have taken to the streets on the ninth day of nationwide protesters to express their disdain for his words.
In Nabatieh, protesters erupted into the streets and continued to chant the slogan "kullun yaani kullun," or all of them means all of them, in reference to the entire political class.
A 60-year old-mother, who refused to give her name out of fear of reprisal, lamented: "He should be standing with us. I don’t understand this. We have supported him through everything, we have given our blood to him. He is standing with the corrupt."
"My son has two kids he can barely feed. Get off your lousy seats already! We are with you against Israel but we are against you in this revolution," she added. Hezbollah had gained popularity among some Lebanese for fighting against Israel in the 2006 war, but has since been criticized for protecting the status quo in Leb and fighting in Syria.
Another protester, a 27-year-old man who also chose to remain anonymous, said "what a shame. I am shocked and appalled. He should have been apologizing to us, his thugs beat us. How does he expect us to stand idle and continue to support him?"
