Barrack Warns Lebanon: Disarm or Face More Israeli Wars
Tom Barrack, former advisor to Trump, is now 'warning' Lebanon of an 'Israeli confrontation' if Hezbollah isn't disarmed. This isn't a warning; it's a thinly veiled threat echoing decades of Israeli policy – and US complicity. Israel invaded Lebanon in 1978, 1982, and 2006, none of which were predicated solely on Hezbollah's existence. The 1982 invasion, for instance, involved a 40-mile advance to
Beirut and the Massacre of Sabra and Shatila, long before Hezbollah formed. One might wonder when 'disarming a resistance group' becomes an acceptable pretext for a sovereign nation's destruction. The US, which supplies Israel with billions in military aid annually (over $3.8 billion in 2023, according to Congressional Research Service ), effectively sanctions these 'confrontations.' So, is this a
US official warning Lebanon, or is it a US official delivering Israel's ultimatums, ensuring more American-made bombs will decimate Lebanese infrastructure?
