Hezbollah and dirty politics
Set aside the part about suicide bombings, arms trafficking, and starting wars. The next time you hear some apologist claim that Hezbollah is really a legitimate political party exercising its rights within a democratic government, point out that even in its civil service it screws all the Lebanese:
With Hizbullah threatening to inflict a "painful act" on the cabinet soon, Lebanese "citizens" today learned of the pain Hizbullah’s Energy Minister Mohammad Fneish inflicted on them when he walked out on his job: All the ministry’s files reportedly occulted with the minister and his two advisors, who took (or stole) everything needed to keep the ministry running.
Acting Energy Minister Mohammad Safadi has reportedly refused to run the derelict ministry because there’s nothing he can do without the documents stolen by the minister.
And then Hizbullah sends people to protest outside the same ministry.
Yet another gift from the Islamic Republic of Iran to the people of Lebanon.
