Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah recently slammed those criticizing him, saying: "Anyone who says anything contrary to what is said here is a moron, is blind, and a traitor. The Shi'ites of the American embassy are traitors, agents, and morons. No one can alter our convictions. We won't be silent anymore and we will no longer humor anyone."
However, this time Nasrallah's angry and threatening statements were not directed against his usual rivals. They are directed against Shi'ites in Lebanon. These statements reveal the extent of such disputes and expose the increasing criticisms against him, after a prolonged Syrian war and after the proliferation of conflicts -- in which Lebanon's Shi'ites are required to participate in order to meet the demands of Iran's proxies, Hezbollah being one.
A few days before this angry speech, Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, visited Beirut to deliver a message to Nasrallah. This message was probably what was behind the Hezbollah chief's frustration and his call to further mobilize his party's ranks. It is also probably why he made the threats to his opponents.
Nasrallah's speech reveals divisions and disputes within the Shi'ite community, which had previously stood as a symbol of obedience where there was a majority in support of him and an opposing, but silent, minority. However, now after Hezbollah's accumulating losses in Syria and Iraq, a rising tide of dissent in the group's ranks seems to be threatening his status -- unlike how things were in the past when no one dared to hold him accountable.
Some may say that Hezbollah is not the only group currently drowning in the quicksand... [but] other parties were always destined to join these conflicts since they are taking place on their own turf.

kind of like Democrats :)
The Demwits should be so lucky to have a leader like Nasrallah.
They aren’t so far off as they may think.
I like the fact Hezbollah is drowning in its own blood.
I haven’t forgotten its mass murder of 300 sleeping US Marines in our Beirut embassy, its murder of our CIA station chief William Buckley and its murder of US navy officer Robert Stethem.
A score is being settled and the plight of Nasrallah’s terrorist group does not move me. I hope every one of them hangs on lampposts.
It would be a fitting end to a such group of violent beasts. Break out the popcorn!
He’s really off his rocker.
No doubt Hassan Nasrallah’s favorite goat has been rejecting his sexual advances lately.
It’s hard to blame him (the goat, that is), huh...
Hezbollah workers need to unionize. And Nazrallah needs some human resources courses to teach him mediation, EEOC and conflict resolution. There, solved it for him.
The main difference is, goats have standards.
Well said. Meanwhile, after 100s of 1000s dead from regime atrocities:
