When all of this started the big anger in the Shia street was directed toward Amal movement. Berri and his wife were the first to be cursed. Amal MPs offices and institutions got attacked and even burned.
Amal reaction was sending armed militia to terrorise the protestors but the anger was too high that no one cave in.
At this point in time I genuinely thought that Amal was finished.
After this initial reaction, Amal was sidelined, Nabih Berri did not speak, nor did he send his thugs under his own name.
Here came the real power behind the Shia duo; Hassan Nassrallah himself. He threatened the protestor the first time and second. He send his bullies and thugs under HA flag to crush protestors in Nabatieh and in DT. He is basically acting as any frighten Arab dictator that we have seen since 2011.
I know that the hardcore HA supporter do not mind this and probably they are proud of how strong they are; but in the eyes of many progressive shia; this was an eye opening.
Now the question who is going to gain from all of this? Will Amal organize themselves and absorb this shia "dissent" and provide the protection or call the need of the liberal and progressive shia? Or these liberals are smart enough to stop following sectarian corrupted parties and would follow an emerging non sectarian national parties?
If I was an Amal official I will take this opportunity to reform the corrupted party; cut off Randa and her goons; reestablish new progressive slogans; protect and talk to and in the name of the protestors ; and get out of HA banner.
