Palestinian Abomination: Muslim Sunnis See Shia Nasrallah as Hero
Next time you hear one of those well-groomed talking heads in TV explaining how Sunnis and Shias will never, never! get along, remember this; Hasan Nasrallah is a Shia cleric: Palestinians see Nasrallah as new hero
It's impossible to speak with Waleeed Ayyoub without constant interruptions. The 33-year-old artist in Ramallah is busy dealing with requests for the fastest selling portrait in the West Bank - that of Hasan Nasrallah."Nasrallah is a hero, I want to hang his picture in my salon," says Mohammad Taha, 27, who has come from Jerusalem to buy one of these ubiquitous posters from Ayyoub.
Portrait posters of the Hezbollah leader are hanging everywhere in Ramallah, covering the walls and shop fronts and plastered across T-shirts and demonstration banners.
Before the Israel-Lebanon war broke out, Ayyoub was selling from his stock of hero portraits, such as Che Guevara, Yasser Arafat, Fidel Castro, Egypt's late leader Abdel Gamal Nasser and Jesus.
On the day of one of many Ramallah demonstrations against the Lebanon war last week, Ayyoub says he sold around 1,000 posters of the Hezbollah leader.[...]
And yes, do notice that Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, too, are Palestinian heros. Although, of course, Islam and Communism are sooo incompatible, they will never ally with each other against the West.
