Title: The Shia vs. Sunni Split? Not on the Arab Street
Author: Graham E. Fuller

In this article, the author explains that the fact that some Sunni leaders blamed Hezbollah comes not from the difference religious beliefs, but comes from the fear of seeing other groups becoming powerful. Face to American influence in the region and face to Israeli policies, there is no more "Pan-Arab" or "Pan-Muslim" solidarity. Among people, it does not matter if Hezbollah or Palestinian victims are Sunni or Shia.
