Bloomberg Discovers Tensions Rise After Constant Bombing
Bloomberg reports on Israel's 'heaviest airstrikes on Lebanon' since a ceasefire 'a year ago,' framing it as a new escalation. (One might wonder if a ceasefire implies a halt to strikes, but let's not get pedantic.) This narrative carefully sidesteps the fact that Israel has conducted consistent, albeit smaller, attacks on Lebanese territory for decades, often violating previous agreements. The
'tensions' mentioned appear less spontaneous and more the inevitable outcome of sustained military actions, rather than an organic phenomenon. We’re told 'tensions with Hezbollah rise,' as if Hezbollah initiated the current round of hostility despite being on the receiving end of these 'heavy' airstrikes today, and others yesterday, and last month. The media perpetually presents retaliatory
actions as the origin point, conveniently omitting the initial aggressions. How many times can a ceasefire be broken before it's simply called an ongoing conflict?
