Nasrallah is fast losing popularity even in its own ranks UPDATED 9/15

By Olivier Guitta

Indeed a recent poll shows that the majority of Lebanese, actually 51% want Hezbollah disarmed. Le Figaro cited that 47% of Lebanese do not think that Hezbollah won the war over Israel.

While one could have expected the reversal of fortune of Nasrallah's movement among Christians and Sunnis what's the most surprising is that he is attacked by two major figures in the Shia community.

The first one is a very well respected Sayeed Ali Al Amin ( a descendant of the prophet like Nasrallah is) who has been very vocal attacking Nasrallah for his illegal war against israel. His views are now little by little being followed in the Shia community.

The second one is none other than President of the parliament and spokesman for Nasrallah during the war Nabih Berry, the head of the Amal movement the rival Shia movement to Hezbollah which was near extinction. Amal is now getting traction among Shias and their views are much more moderate than Hezbollah's.

It looks like that for the first time Nasrallah inded committed a major mistake...
