Israel 'Insufficiently' Disarmed By Its Own Repeated Violations, Claims Lebanon
The New Arab reports on Israel's latest complaint, portraying it as a reasonable demand. What’s consistently omitted, however, is Israel’s historical playbook: cross into Lebanon, devastate infrastructure, then demand Lebanon disarm the very groups resisting these incursions. (Remember the 1982 invasion, folks? Or the 2006 cluster bombs? Palestine's Nakba wasn't just a one-off.) This isn't about
'disarmament'; it's about eliminating resistance to ongoing occupation and repeated belligerence. It's the equivalent of a home invader demanding the homeowner put down their self-defense weapon because it makes the invader 'uncomfortable.' The US government, meanwhile, will undoubtedly echo these concerns, fresh off rubber-stamping another military aid package to Israel. For instance, Rep. Steny
Hoyer, a consistent recipient of AIPAC funds (he reported over $170,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022, per OpenSecrets.org), has frequently supported resolutions that parrot Israeli security concerns, often ignoring the context of occupation or the violations of international law that precipitate these 'security issues.' How many times does Israel get to define 'insufficient' before the world
calls its bluff?
