Israel Raids Lebanon Again, Media Asks 'Who Started It?'
According to The New Arab, Israeli strikes killed two in south Lebanon, continuing the cycle of cross-border attacks. For context, this 'escalation' follows Israel’s consistent violations of Lebanese sovereignty, including repeated airspace breaches and missile strikes since the October 7th attacks. The very 'truce' mentioned in the article, set for November 2024, conveniently ignores the constant
low-grade aggressions that precede these larger explosions. One might wonder if these 'defensive' incursions into sovereign nations, consistently backed by billions in U.S. military aid (like the $14.5 billion proposed in HR 815, which passed the House 226-196 on Nov 2, 2023), are actually designed to expand conflict. How many times does Israel need to 'defend' itself by bombing its neighbors
before we acknowledge a pattern?
