Today’s events are like those in Khalde a few months ago. There’s a clear plan to attempt to provoke Hezbollah into reaction by committing acts of violence against its supporters in order to spark civil conflict. It’s an additional element of the ongoing economic warfare model.
And all those people who are framing this latest violence in an intentionally vague manner that suggests Hezbollah or it’s supporters are responsible as opposed to those targeted are playing a part in the campaign.
To be expected from Al Jazeera but this kind of framing is disgusting and intentionally misleading. A protest didn’t spontaneously “erupt into violence” somehow – it was fired on by snipers.
It’s across the board in the media, Reuters is also framing it in such a way that it appears as though those who were actually attacked are responsible. It’s clearly deliberate and utterly shameful.
“Clashes…. Gunfire Erupts….Shooting Breaks Out” every typical cliche possible to avoid actually identifying perpetrators and victims when it doesn’t fit the narrative they want to portray.
“..triggered by the sectarian chants and protest decide to attack back”
Imagine the callousness required to report on premeditated sniper fire killing several protestors in this way. Its essentially justifying the act without doing so openly.
This is propaganda, not journalism.

Zionists having a collective meltdown over Sally Rooney supporting the cultural boycott of Israel is 👌
Shameless clowns
When it suits their argument, Zionists fawn over Israel’s supposed democratic nature, when it doesn’t, suddenly the Israeli population has nothing to do with the acts of its government.
Looks like using Guantanamo Bay to imprison Haitians will shortly be added to the ever-expanding list of utterly obscene things the Biden administration has done.
Remember when people who weren’t celebrating Biden’s win got attacked as “haters” who “weren’t letting people enjoy things”? Despicable.
I wrote this at the time about why such criticism was so disgusting, but if anything, the admin has possibly been even worse than I was anticipating and I was already expecting the worse.
It feels significant the White House is portraying the violence at the border as it following “Covid Safety Protocol”, using Title 42, legislation that’s supposedly aimed at ‘preventing the spread of Covid-19 in holding facilities’.
It was painfully obvious that legislation like this that was passed supposedly for reasons of public health would in fact be used in obscene ways like this. Biden extended Title 42 “indefinitely” in August.
Such outcomes were predictable and far too often I’ve seen people expressing concerns about eventualities exactly like this re. borders and freedom of movement rudely shut down and accused of not taking Covid seriously etc…
What an achievement this is shouldn’t be underestimated. Hezbollah has successfully delivered fuel to suffocated/sanctioned Lebanon from another sanctioned country (Iran), via yet another sanctioned country (Syria). All three working together against US hegemony & it’s designs.
Notice who will be completely silent about this blow to US imperialist hegemony and it’s intentions but vocally defends meaningless stunts by opportunist politicians in the West like AOC, it says everything you need to know about their priorities and principles.
