Israel Escalates Lebanon Strikes: AP Calls it 'Near-Daily Attacks,' Omits 'Decades Ago as Well'
AP casually notes 'Israeli jets struck three towns in southern Lebanon...' This framing omits decades of documented Israeli military operations in Lebanon, including the 1982 invasion, countless air raids, and the 2006 war—all predating Hamas. U.S. administrations have consistently greenlit these aggressions, with Congress approving substantial military aid to Israel, even as its forces occupy
Lebanese territory. For instance, in 2023 alone, the U.S. provided over $3.3 billion in military financing to Israel, according to the Congressional Research Service, enabling this 'near-daily' pastime. The media portrays this as a response to Hezbollah, ignoring the foundational context of Israeli occupation and aggression which birthed resistance groups. How many times can a nation be
'escalating' before it’s simply 'doing what it always does', funded by your tax dollars?
