Well this is lovely. In a no-doubt outreachy and educational move, Lebanon has popularized sticker books featuring politicians. Not exactly the glamorous and exciting Lost in Space stickerbooks of my youth, they are nonetheless popular with collecting-y types. One particular thing stands out, however.
I got all the major politicians except Hassan Nasrallah. Apparently he’s a hard to find sticker. It makes me wonder who is making these stickers. By only printing a limited number of Nasrallahs, it may be a political statement. But at the same time, it means that the demand for Nasrallah is being driven up and he’s becoming more desirable. No matter how you look at it, Nasrallah is the hardest man to find in Lebanon.
Me, I think the CIA cornered the market and is passing them out to new recruits as part of the training process.












I now have the Nasrallah sticker!

Ha! That’s hilarious! I guess the CIA isn’t trying hard enough, eh? They should hire you!
Wow, this is super sad. I live in Lebanon and this has never made me dig my face in my palm any deeper. I still don’t understand how Hezbollah can have positions in the government.
Wow. I still can’t get over how stupid that book is. I’ll keep an eye out for one though!
edit: ” live in Lebanon and this has never made me dig my face” should be: live in Lebanon and this PLACE has never made me dig my face
If you find a Nasrallah, remember the Americans above all will pay good money for him.
