In the wake of last week's explosion at a chemical warehouse in Beirut's port, criticism keeps mounting in Lebanon on Hezbollah and its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, as more and more voices in the devastated country call for reforms and a transparent investigation into the disaster.

An image of Nasrallah was hoisted with a noose tied around it during protests in Beirut on Saturday, marking the growing pressure on the Shi'ite organization by its opponents in Lebanon.

Social media users suggested repeatedly that Hezbollah had something to do with the blast or at least could have prevented it.

These are only some of the harsh allegations that have been made against Hezbollah for years, chief among them are the accusations that its assistance in Syria to President Bashar Assad's regime and its attacks on Israel endanger Lebanon's security and serve mainly Iran – whose deep involvement in the management of Lebanon's government institutions prevents international parties from helping in the rebuilding of its devastated economy.

Shukairy's 1956 'Southern Syria,' not a separated Palestine entity yet

June 1, 1956 Daily News from New York, New York · 45 Syria Demands: Talk On Pre-lsrael Basis By PETER WALLENBERG Syria demanded in the UN Security Council yesterday that everything the United Nations had done in the Palestine question,... the political aspects of the Palestine dispute. Shukairy tore into the British resolution that is backed by the U. S. and France and which would empower Hammarskjold to continue bis efforts toward "a peaceful settlement on a mutually acceptable basis." "The establishment of Israel, its membership in the UN and all other resolutions will have to be revoked," Shukairy said. "Then, and only then," he added, "the United Nations can look forward to a solution on a mutually acceptable basis." Israel's envoy, Abba Eban, take ever Israel and quoted Shukairy's word that Israel was just a part of southern Syria. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/455603792/ Vochenblatt - Jun 7, 1956, p.1 Ahmed Shukairy of ...

Shukairy removal 1962, author Hart

Parker T. Hart, "Saudi Arabia and the United States: Birth of a Security Partnership," Indiana University Press, 1998, p.167 He had managed in 1962 to send on vacation ” the headstrong Saudi UN permanent representative , Ahmad Shukairi. Under King Saud, Shukairi had been accustomed to largely having his own way in representing Saudi positions before the United Nations. These were consistently anti-British (Saud had broken relations with Britain over the 1956 Suez War) and highly critical of US policy on matters relating to Palestine and Israel. Representations by Shukairi on these matters were part of his standing duties, but the language he used was fiery and often extreme. Faisal replaced him on an acting basis with a venerable family retainer, Jamil Baroody, a man totally devoted to Faisal. https://books.google.com/books?id=7sgjntLGROwC&pg=PA167
