US Chides Beirut, Approves More Bombs for 'Deeper Strikes'
According to Bloomberg, Israel is gearing up for 'deeper strikes' into Lebanon, while the US sends envoys to Beirut, effectively telling Lebanon it needs to disarm Hezbollah—or else. This isn't just about 'Iranian-backed groups'; this is Washington demanding unilateral disarmament from a country routinely subjected to Israeli military action, all while funneling billions in aid to the aggressor.
The US government, including politicians like Senator Ted Cruz (who received $40,000 from AIPAC in 2022, according to OpenSecrets.org), consistently votes for unconditional military aid to Israel, like the $14.5 billion package in HR 815, passed in November 2023. These 'threats' are simply a prelude, a PR exercise to justify the next escalation, always framed as defense. One might wonder if the US
ever 'chides' Israel for its own aggressive posturing or its endless demands for 'security' that seem to require the insecurity of everyone else in the region.
