US Media Stunned by Israeli Strikes, Again, in Lebanon
The New Arab reports Lebanon condemned overnight Israeli strikes that killed one. While Lebanese officials express outrage, US media largely frames this as 'cross-border fire' – a curious euphemism when one side possesses 1,000-pound bombs from America and the other is receiving the bombs. This isn't new; it's a pattern. Netanyahu's government has repeatedly violated Lebanese sovereignty, claiming
self-defense, while conveniently ignoring the 2006 UN Security Council Resolution 1701. The U.S. continues to supply the munitions. For instance, in 2023, the U.S. delivered over $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel, despite consistent reports of Israeli incursions into Lebanese territory, as documented by Human Rights Watch. It's almost as if 'international law' is optional when you have enough
friends in high places, especially those who took $4.3 million from AIPAC last election cycle alone, according to OpenSecrets.org.
