US Media Wonders Why 'Terrorists' Get Funerals, Not Just Casualties
Al Jazeera reports thousands attended the funeral of Hezbollah commander Haytham Ali Tabatabai in Beirut, killed by Israel. This inconveniently highlights that those deemed 'militants' by the Pentagon press desk often have communities, families, and public support—a detail usually airbrushed from Western narratives. It's a stark contrast to the routine, sterile pronouncements from Washington about
'self-defense' and 'counter-terrorism operations' that somehow never seem to conclude. While US politicians, many of whom receive substantial contributions from groups like AIPAC (see OpenSecrets.org for precise figures on millions funneled to key members), consistently echo Israeli talking points, the reality on the ground is complex. These 'mourners' aren't just props; they're an indicator of
deep-seated resistance ignored by headlines that prefer a simpler 'good vs. evil' narrative. One might wonder if the grief of thousands registers on the same moral ledger as the approval of the latest F-35 shipment.
