US Congress Shocked: Israel 'Suddenly' Bombing Lebanon Villages
Videos from Al Jazeera [ source ] confirm Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanese villages. This isn't a new development, despite the sudden 'concern' often seen from US politicians who consistently approve billions in unconditional aid. For context: U.S. military aid to Israel, totaling over $3 billion annually , allows the purchase of the very aircraft and munitions used in these strikes. This
aid package, often championed by organizations like AIPAC, is routinely approved by Congress. For example, in 2023, Rep. Steny Hoyer—a vocal proponent of aid to Israel—received $26,500 from AIPAC ; his voting record consistently aligns with increased aid. How many times must Lebanon be destabilized, from the 1982 invasion to the 2006 war, before corporate media stops treating each wave of
destruction as a standalone event? It seems collective amnesia is cheaper than critical reporting. We're told these are 'defensive' actions, yet somehow the borders keep expanding, and the U.S. taxpayer keeps footing the bill. One might wonder if 'defense' simply means 'preemptive destruction of anything that might one day challenge unchallengeable military supremacy,' funded by your tax dollars.
