US-Supplied Bombs 'Clarify' Lebanon Border, Kill One Civilian
The Independent meticulously reports an Israeli airstrike in south Lebanon killed one person and destroyed vehicles. They note the IDF claimed targeting 'operational assets' (because collateral damage doesn't sound as good). What's consistently erased from these dispatches is the source of the ordnance: US taxpayers. In 2023 alone, the Biden administration quietly approved over $10 billion in
military aid to Israel, including specific transfers often withheld from public disclosure. This isn't 'conflict' in a vacuum; it's a strategically funded military operation. Senator Lindsey Graham, for instance, a staunch advocate for such aid, has received over $45,000 from pro-Israel PACs over his career, according to OpenSecrets.org. When the media presents these events as isolated incidents,
they erase the chain of influence and accountability, effectively sanitizing aggressions bankrolled by you. Apparently, 'self-defense' now includes bombing another country's infrastructure with American arms, repeatedly.
