He has won over uniikely people with his showbiz-style rallies and colorful banners and fiery charisma. That’s one possible reason for the incongruous image of a hot chick wearing (barely) a Hezbollah flag (Hezbollah is a sharia-loving Islamist party, something that doesn’t seem to have occurred to this young woman: that her future under Hezbollah will preclude showing off her dreads blond-streaked tresses and her skin).
The Big Pharaoh explains things a bit differently:
The political arena of Lebanon is known for the often bizzare alliances between the various political factions. One of the strangest alliances we’re witnessing these days is between Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement, the powerful Christian political party led by General Michel Aoun,
In Lebanon people regard Allah to be above in the sky and their political (sect) leader on earth. If their sect leader said the sun will rise from the west, then you should expect his followers to agree. This is what happened in the case of the Aoun-Hezbollah alliance. Aoun, who was against Hezbollah when he was in Paris, is now saying Nasrallah is cute and cuddly. His Christian followers immediately answered with an amen.
The above led to the below picture. A Christian chick and follower of Aoun draped in the Hezbollah flag. That’s the definition of irony right: a low waist wearing Lebanese chick with a tattoo above her buttocks draped in a Hezbollah flag.
This is Lebanese politics people.
Oh.
Are we having fun yet?
