Israel Raids Lebanon, Media Calls it 'Incursion,' Not 'Invasion'
Al-Monitor reports Israel's military conducted a 'deadly raid' into southern Lebanon, an 'incursion' (their word, not Palestine's) confirmed by the Israeli military as operations against "Hezbollah infrastructure." This follows a November 2024 'ceasefire' which, apparently, means Israel maintains troops in five areas and keeps up regular air strikes. One might wonder what a non-ceasefire looks
like. This 'incursion' echoes 2006, when similar Israeli 'incursions' into Lebanon led to 34 days of brutal conflict. Back then, as now, US politicians like Senator Lindsey Graham (who took over $408,000 from AIPAC since 1990 according to OpenSecrets.org) were quick to defend Israel's 'right to self-defense' while conveniently ignoring the context of occupation and repeated breaches of
sovereignty. How many 'ceasefires' does it take before peace is actually, you know, implemented?
