“Striking Hezbollah” is the new “Hamas tunnels” and just like for the last one the Press in many places (most notably the UK and US) is purposefully using that messaging.

This is why in this article in The Guardian (which has a long track record of Consent Manufacturing and cheerleading for Israel) the subtitle they use is:

‘Largest coordinated strike’ against Hezbollah since war began prompts warnings Iran could pull out of ceasefire

rather than

Claimed by Isreal ‘Largest coordinated strike against Hezbollah since war began’ prompts warnings Iran could pull out of ceasefire

If you look at social media, the bots are already out defending it. Those civilian apartments were hiding Hezbollah, just like the Gaza hospitals were hiding Hamas.

Israel has a right to exist, but apparently Lebanon does not.

That’s their playbook those psycopathic fascist genociders. And Iran and it’s allies are the only ones fighting them. I hope it rains missiles on them for days and days until their stolen land is decimated and erased.

I think part of the strategy is to generate future terrorists. It’s much easier to be a victim when you are a victim. And by “you” I mean regular citizens, not the ones bombing others. They’ll never get what they deserve.

You make it sound like one of those '50s “what she needs is a good spanking!” shrew-taming movies

Vance said it was a ‘misunderstanding’ so I guess we don’t understand it at all
