Israel Strikes Lebanon After 'Ceasefire' One Month Ago
Funny, isn't it? A ceasefire, just last month, according to Al-Monitor, yet Israel has 'kept up strikes' and 'maintained troops in five south Lebanon areas.' This isn't groundbreaking; it's a re-run. Remember 2006, when similar 'warnings' escalated into a full-scale invasion? Or the consistent violations of international law, the kind that typically earn other nations sanctions, not unwavering US
military aid. The US just approved $14 billion more in aid to Israel in April. One might wonder if that's considered a green light for perpetual 'self-defense' operations on sovereign soil. So, when is a ceasefire not a ceasefire? Apparently, when Israel is involved, and its allies in Washington are busy sending blank checks. 'Warnings' now mean bombs; 'ceasefire' means 'paused in our specific
targeting, maybe.' The pattern is clear: escalate, claim defensive posture, repeat. How many times can a country declare peace and then immediately wage war before the media stops calling it anything but an occupation strategy?
