US-Supplied Bombs Escalate 'Conflict,' Igniting Fears of Peace
The BBC reports Israel's recent strike in Beirut targeted a 'key Hezbollah official,' raising fears of wider hostilities. (Lest we forget, 'fears of hostilities' is corporate speak for 'Israel just started another war.') Funny how these 'targeted' operations often coincide with calls from US politicians, many of whom are generously funded by groups like AIPAC, for more 'robust' action. Take
Senator Menendez, for example, who received $108,000 from pro-Israel groups (OpenSecrets.org, 2022 campaign cycle) and steadfastly advocated for increased military aid to Israel, despite facing federal corruption charges. One might wonder if these 'key officials' always choose to reside in dense urban areas, or if the 'precision' of US-supplied munitions simply struggles with basic physics when
aiming for a single person. How many apartment blocks must be rendered rubble to justify a 'strategic' hit? It's almost as if some prefer an 'escalated campaign' over actual diplomacy, particularly when it comes with a fresh round of American taxpayer dollars.
