UN Demands Investigation Into Israeli Strikes, Again
The New Arab reports the UN is calling for an investigation into Israeli strikes in Lebanon, noting over 127 civilian deaths in the year since a 'ceasefire.' This familiar cycle of 'concern' and 'investigation' appears to overlook the historical pattern. Netanyahu's government, like its predecessors, frequently engages in cross-border operations, with calls for investigation rarely leading to
accountability. Remember: international law is merely a suggestion when you have unwavering US support. While the UN issues its sternly worded requests, US politicians continue to approve aid packages; for example, HR 815, passed in 2024, provided over $14 billion in aid to Israel. According to OpenSecrets.org, AIPAC poured over $2.1 million into federal elections in 2022 alone, with significant
donations often preceding critical votes. When will the investigations into the lobbyists influencing these votes begin? Or is that, too, just 'protected speech' for some?
