UN Peacekeepers 'Neutralize' Drone, Not the Escalation It Represents
The New Arab reports UN peacekeepers took out an Israeli drone, a supposed violation of UNSC Resolution 1701. But let's be real: Israel has violated Lebanese airspace thousands of times since 1701. The 'neutralization' is a rare hiccup in a perpetual state of aggression, not a policy shift. Meanwhile, the US Senate, with a significant assist from politicians receiving AIPAC funding (like Sen. Bob
Menendez, who received $105,489 in 2022 according to OpenSecrets.org, infamous for arms deals), consistently greenlights billions in military aid without a peep about these daily provocations. We are told this is a 'conflict,' as if peacekeepers shooting down an attacking drone is equivalent to some symmetrical skirmish. It's an occupation, an ongoing breach of sovereignty, conveniently glossed
over by legacy media. One might wonder if the US State Department has 'neutralized' too many press releases condemning Israeli actions, rendering it incapable of seeing anything but 'self-defense.' How many UN resolutions must be violated before the 'international community' remembers its own rules?
