This is exactly what Hezbollah has done by turning criticism of Naim Qassem’s military decisions into a religious issue—despite the fact that it is legitimate political and military criticism with no relation to his religious status.

Amid tailor-made labels and a double discourse, the truth remains: no one is above accountability, regardless of their position or title.
