Many supporters of Hizbullah`s resistance are at a loss when it comes to its position on the Syrian regime and the uprisings. The following video is from a Tunisian satellite channel whose show "WIthout Flattery" hosted a discussion with various Arab poets on the state of the Arab world. In it, popular Egyptian poet Ahmad Fouad Nagm, a long-time supporter of resistance, addresses a message to Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah. Below is an English translation/transliteration of Nagm`s words.

Fouad Ahmad Nagm: And I am surprised to tell the truth. Permit me now to address a word to the dear friend Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah. Do you like what the Syrian Ba`th is doing to the Syrian people? Tell me ... [unclear]. Is it acceptable to have anyone support what is happening? The Zionists . . . you dealt with them. The Zionists are doing this [i.e., attacking civilians] to the Palestinians.

You were the knight of the Arab nation for me until 2006. I used to carry him as a cross on my chest, Hasan Nasrallah and his party. Is what the optometrist doing to the Syrian people possible/acceptable [oh] Sayyid Hasan? They are attacking the protesters [who are] walking in the streets with the canons of tanks. This is insanity! Does someone stand with this? Does someone support this?"
