  • A Lebanese Shiite woman went viral for attacking Hezbollah from inside its own community.
  • She said even Pharaoh was cleaner than Hezbollah and rejected its claims of divine victory.
  • She said Hezbollah abandoned Shiites who lost homes and became refugees.
  • She accused Hezbollah of sacrificing Lebanon’s Shiites for Iran’s interests.
  • The article says the video reflects growing despair among Shiites in Lebanon.

A video circulating in recent days shows a Lebanese Shiite woman publicly denouncing Hezbollah, in a striking break from the usual pattern of criticism from Druze or Christian opponents. The article says her comments matter because they come from inside the Shiite community, the base from which the group draws much of its power.

Speaking directly to the camera, she accused Hezbollah of being among history’s worst evils and said that “even Pharaoh was not as dirty” as the group. She also said that God ultimately “got rid of him,” referring to Pharaoh, and used the line to mock Hezbollah’s claims of divine victory.

The woman said Israel was still doing Hezbollah a favor, adding that “trash does not grow, it only burns in the end.” The article says her anger reflected the despair of more and more Shiites who have lost their homes and villages and were abandoned by Hezbollah as refugees.

She argued that Hezbollah is not defending Lebanon, but has sacrificed the entire Shiite community for Iran’s interests, throwing people into the streets only to have them erased. The piece says the video shows Hezbollah’s “big lie” of a divine victory collapsing, and that the group’s masks are falling as Shiites themselves increasingly see Hezbollah, not Israel, as the source of their disaster.
