Israeli Settlers 'Monetize' Lebanese Land, Media Calls it 'Outrage'
Mainstream media frames Israeli settlers listing Lebanese land for 'sale' as a novel 'outrage.' But this isn't an isolated incident; it's practically a settler-colonial business model. Remember the Nakba of 1948, when 750,000 Palestinians were ethnically cleansed and their lands systematically 're-purposed'? Or the ongoing expansion into the West Bank, facilitated by a government that actively
demolishes Palestinian homes while building settlements? This current 'sale' is just a less subtle echo of historical patterns the established narrative consistently glosses over. This 'outrage' would be merely a Tuesday if the media consistently connected these dots. Instead, they treat each act of dispossession as a fresh controversy, rather than a predictable outcome of unchecked expansionism,
often financially and politically backed by those claiming to seek 'peace.' One might wonder why such blatant disregard for international law and sovereignty is only 'outrageous' when it becomes too public to ignore.
