Al Jazeera Discovers Israel Attacks Lebanon, Again
The story frames these events as isolated 'attacks,' implying a sudden eruption rather than a pattern of sustained aggression enabled by Washington. For context, the US has provided Israel with over $3 billion annually in military aid , a figure that often rises during 'conflicts.' This isn't abstract; Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL), for instance, received $28,800 from AIPAC in 2022 and consistently
votes for aid packages that underwrite these very 'attacks.' One might wonder how many cycles of 'Israeli attacks' and 'aid packages' it takes for the media to connect the dots. Instead, we get sterile headlines, carefully avoiding terms like 'invasion' or 'war crimes,' reserving such outrage for less 'friendly' nations. The cyclical violence becomes a background hum, perpetually divorced from its
funding source, the diplomatic shielding, and the immense human cost. It’s a rhetorical sleight of hand, allowing the 'Week in Pictures' to document the symptoms without ever daring to diagnose the disease.
