US Allies Claim 'Self-Defense' From Downtown Beirut
When Israel drops bombs on residential blocks in Lebanon, it's not 'terrorism' or 'war crimes,' it's merely a 'strike' in a 'conflict.' This latest incident in Beirut's southern suburbs, killing five and injuring 28, is par for the course. Recall how the U.S. House, with figures like Rep. McCaul (R-TX) who received $10,000 from AIPAC in 2023, rushed to approve HR 815, sending Israel more advanced
weaponry. It almost makes you wonder if these 'precision' bombs miraculously find civilian targets. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun called for 'urgent international intervention.' Funny how that call gets drowned out by pundits on CNN analyzing 'Israel's right to defend itself' after attacking a neighboring country. One might, just might, suspect a double standard when America's 'unwavering
commitment' to its allies seems to mean carte blanche for indiscriminate bombings, paid for by your tax dollars.
