Robert Fisk's driver Abed is much better than Randa Slim, he reports from middle east, she tweets from Uncle Obama's Land.
She heard...
The first arguement she heard about Hezbollah's double standard in its approach to the uprisings is BS.. putting Syria's Assad (Hezbollah's partner in july war), and Egypt's Pharaoh (Hezbullah's enemy in before, during and after that war) in the same trench.
The second argument she herad is not better. It is in Hezbollah's interest to support the emergence of democratic regimes in the region but, but it is not in it's not in it's interest to support the so called "Syrian revoltion" that shall lead to a civil war.
Syrian Muslim Brotherhood may have a role once they follow the steps of their "brothers" in Egypt and Gaza
Syrian Muslim Brotherhood may have a role once they follow the steps of their "brothers" in Egypt and Gaza
The contradiction in the third argument she heard is obvious, it assumes that Hezbollah has no relation with the Syrian people having historically had a deep commitment to the resistance strategy, and ignored the fact that the Syrian people is Hezbollah's partner.
Syrians hosted 1.5 million Lebanese refugee during July war.
I claim for Syrians Assad's main credit is his foriegn policy and supporting the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon.

The 'credentials of this writer: "Randa Slim, a Lebanese-American political analyst, is completing a book on Hezbollah's political evolution. She tweets about developments in the Middle East."
"... I sensed a level of discomfort among some Hezbollah cadres, especially in the second and third-tiers, with regard to this policy." What 'senior official' and second & third tier? This girl talked to no one in Hezbollah! Is this like Robert Fisk's driver Abed? She continues "I heard three lines of argument from Hezbollah officials about the issue of what Hezbollah's policy should be vis-à-vis the Syrian uprisings. The first argument is that Hezbollah should not display a double standard in its approach to the uprisings ... ...
A second argument suggests that it is in Hezbollah's interest to support the emergence of democratic regimes in the region but not necessarily Islamist regimes. This voice inside Hezbollah argues that, of course, Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood must have a role ... ...
A third argument in this debate holds that the Syrian people have historically had a deep commitment to the resistance strategy and that it behooves Hezbollah, in case of a regime change in Syria, to start building its relationships with the Syrian people
For now, It is unlikely that in the near future, we will see Sayyed Nasrallah address the crowds in the Lebanese southern suburbs in support of the Syrian popular uprisings... Yet has Hezbollah begun making contingency plans for the possible overthrow of Assad... if Hezbollah behaves true to form, contingency planning must be quietly underway."
