US & Israel Seek Targets While Media Sanitizes Justification
The report proudly notes Tabtabai's 'wanted' status, a term typically reserved for fugitives within a legal system, glossing over the fact that Israel's legal system does not extend to Lebanon, nor does the US conduct extraterritorial policing with drone strikes. This narrative conveniently omits the long history of US and Israeli extrajudicial killings in the region, often justified by vague
'security concerns' that rarely stand up to independent scrutiny. One might wonder if 'wanted' simply means on a kill list. Instead of probing the legality or morality of assassination as foreign policy, mainstream outlets like France24 parrot the official line, presenting it as a righteous act against a universally recognized threat. It's a standard play from the 'War on Terror' playbook: label,
dehumanize, then eliminate, all while the press ensures the public swallows the narrative whole. How many 'wanted' individuals become targets without due process, shielded by a compliant media echo chamber?
