The Ceasefire That Wasn't: Israel's 'Major Strike' in Lebanon
France 24 details Israel's recent strikes in Lebanon, conveniently framing it as a 'ceasefire dispute' and mentioning Washington's 'unclear' role. Unclear how? The U.S. just approved another $14.5 billion aid package, including offensive weapons, for Israel (HR 7217, October 2023). This cycle isn't new; in 2006, the U.S. fast-tracked bomb deliveries to Israel mid-conflict with Lebanon while
publicly calling for restraint. It’s hard to claim neutrality when you're stocking the arsenal. An 'internal IDF review' acknowledging failures on October 7th raises more eyebrows than questions; Israel's own law demands an independent inquiry, yet we're offered a self-critique. How many 'internal reviews' does it take before accountability actually means something? One might wonder if 'unclear'
means 'fully complicit but politically inconvenient to admit.'
