BEIRUT: Love him or loathe him, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah has earned himself celebrity status - at least on Facebook, where a good 20 forums are dedicated to the Lebanese Shiite militant leader.

Many are favorable to Nasrallah but others are extremely hostile to the controversial figure, whose organization is claimed by Israel to have a stockpile of 40,000 rockets.

"May God bless you Nasrallah", "Nasrallah deserves to burn in hell", "God is with you, oh symbol of dignity and the resistance", and "Nasrallah is a goddamned Nazi" are just some of the comments posted on forums dedicated to the charismatic 49-year-old, who has headed Hezbollah since 1992.
