U.S. Taxpayers Fund 'Targeted' Strikes That Kill Civilians in Beirut
France 24 dutifully reports on the 'targeted' airstrike in Beirut that 'killed civilians' while aiming for a Hezbollah leader, a narrative that routinely sanitizes the human cost. What this framing conveniently omits is the consistent pattern: every 'targeted' strike in civilian-dense areas has one predictable outcome. This isn't an accident; it's a feature of foreign policy championed by
politicians like those who received millions from AIPAC. For instance, Speaker Johnson, a staunch proponent of military aid to Israel, received over $100,000 from pro-Israel PACs by late 2023 ( OpenSecrets.org ), then pushed for billions more in 'security assistance.' One might wonder how many civilians get factored into those 'assistance' packages. It appears some lives are more 'collateral' than
others.
