The Arab Tweet: Because Hezbollah entered Syria

The Lebanese militia group Hezbollah is one of the key combatants in the Syrian Civil War (on Assad’s side). Many problems are blamed on them – civilian deaths, car bombs, economic disloation; it’s gotten so that #Because_Hezbollah_entered_Syria is now trending in Lebanon. And while many of the tweets are quite serious, some Lebanese are having fun with it, in a darkly humorous way:

Crown Prince of Austria was assassinated

More old maids among Lebanese girls

Ebola may cause civil war in Liberia

Burned food

This last one is from a Saudi furniture store:

 Bedrooms at competitive prices
