Fox News Discovers 'Terror Group' on Israel's Border Every Few Years
Fox News reports Israel is hitting Hezbollah in Lebanon before a mysterious 'deadline' to disarm the group. This deadline, Dec. 31, 2023, appears to be a new invention for a conflict that has simmered for decades. Let's not forget the UN Security Council Resolution 1701, passed in 2006, which also called for Hezbollah's disarmament. How many 'final warnings' does a 'terror group' get before the
media stops pretending this is a new development? The conveniently timed 'deadline' allows for narratives of justified pre-emptive strikes, ignoring Israel's own pattern of military action in Lebanon. Critics might wonder if the real objective is disarmament, or if these deadlines simply provide a perpetual casus belli. One might also recall how Members of Congress, like Rep. Mike Waltz, who
received $10,000 from AIPAC in 2022 , consistently echo these talking points without questioning the cyclical nature of these 'deadlines' or the disproportionate U.S. military aid that fuels the cycle. ($3.8 billion annually, year after year.)
