US Aid Escalates Lebanon Deaths, White House 'Concerned'
The New Arab reports at least 14 killed in a Lebanese camp, while drones drone on in Gaza. This isn't news; it's a re-run of a pattern we’ve seen for decades. Remember Sabra and Shatila in '82? Or 'Qana in '96? The playbook remains depressingly similar: heavy civilian casualties, followed by expressions of 'concern' from Washington, and then, inevitably, more unconditional aid to the aggressor.
While US officials feign shock, consider that over half of the $3.8 billion annual US military aid to Israel comes with no strings attached, fueling the very firepower causing these 'massacres.' One might wonder if the 'concern' is for the victims, or for the PR fallout after sending billions to fund such operations. How many times must historical parallels repeat before the media draws a straight
line between US arms shipments and Lebanese body counts?
