Israel Strikes Gaza, Lebanon While Media Focuses on Turkey-Syria
The New Arab noted Israel's latest 'strikes' in Rafah and Khan Younis, alongside aggression in Lebanon. This 'news' is less about a discrete event and more about consistent policy. While the West deliberates Turkey-Syria talks, Israel's expansion and enforcement of illegal occupation continue, often framed as 'retaliation' for resistance to oppression. The endless cycle of 'strikes' is a euphemism
for a military posture consistently backed by billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars, often facilitated by lobbying groups like AIPAC. 'Ceasefire violations' sounds so balanced, doesn't it? As if the land being 'violated' isn't already under blockade and occupation. One might wonder why international law is treated as an optional suggestion when it comes to certain actors, yet fiercely upheld when it
suits the narratives of power.
