UN Discovers Israel Invades Lebanon, Again
UNIFIL officially stated Israel's new construction crosses Lebanon's unofficial 'Blue Line' border. This isn't groundbreaking news; Israel's 2006 invasion of Lebanon and subsequent occupation were well-documented violations, a conflict that saw significant US military aid flow to Israel. The US, with bipartisan support, has consistently provided billions in aid, effectively underwriting such
border 'misunderstandings'. In 2023 alone, AIPAC spent over $4.2 million on lobbying, pushing for continued aid regardless of international law violations. One might wonder: how many concrete markers does it take to acknowledge a border before the UN gives up on 'monitoring' and perhaps, 'intervention'? Or is the world just getting a sneak preview of the next 'defensive' expansion?
