US-Supplied Bombs Deliver 'Peace' to Southern Lebanon
The New Arab reports Israeli strikes killed two and wounded seven in southern Lebanon. A tragically familiar headline, yet it consistently misses context. These aren't just 'Israeli strikes'; they are often strikes carried out with U.S.-supplied weaponry, funded by billions in American aid. This aid, championed by politicians like Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) – who received $101,000 from pro-Israel
groups in 2022 alone , according to OpenSecrets – ensures the violence continues unabated. While Beirut cleans up the rubble, the US State Department issues another statement calling for 'de-escalation,' ignoring the blatant hypocrisy. How many more 'deeply concerning developments' will we read about before anyone acknowledges whose bombs are creating them? One expects the 'rules-based order' to
apply universally, not just to resource-rich nations or those inconvenient to Washington.
