BBC whitewashes Israel massacring 44 in Lebanon

Israel has murdered at least 41 civilians and 3 Lebanese soldiers, and injured dozens more in Al-Nabi Shayth, Lebanon. As usual, the BBC  has framed the illegal massacre as a “special forces raid”, which plays right into the hands of Netanyahu.

Israel raided the village in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley, after previously launching numerous deadly attacks and sending ground troops into Southern Lebanon.

This was in response to the Lebanese resistance firing missiles at Israel on Monday, to defend Lebanon after around 15500 Israeli ceasefire violations and to avenge the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

According to Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA), an Israeli commando unit:

infiltrated under the cover of darkness towards a family cemetery in the eastern part of Nabi Chit overnight.

After being spotted by resistance fighters and local residents, clashes ensued with the commandos using light and medium weapons.

Warplanes and helicopters intervened intensively and carried out about 40 raids after the Israeli units were exposed.

They reportedly came in using two ambulances as a disguise which is absolutely abhorrent, photo below:

BBC whitewashing

In its usual Netanyahu-arse-licking fashion, the BBC has absolved Israel of all its war crimes.

But this is exactly what the BBC has done since October 2023. When ‘Palestinians were killed’, but ‘Hamas systematically and ruthlessly murders Israelis’.

Despite all the evidence showing that Israel used the Hannibal directive to kill their own people.

Israel has the majority of the West wrapped around its little finger.

Special operation, my arse

Israel attempted the bullshit “special operation” under the guise of retrieving Ron Arad’s body. He was an Israeli Air Force weapons systems officer who went missing in action in October 1986. The Amal Movement captured him after his fighter jet crashed over South Lebanon.

But when he crashed, Arad was attacking the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) — the official representative of the Palestinian people after the Oslo Accords. He was not an innocent civilian. He was committing war crimes — and was taken as a prisoner of war.

According to Hezbollah, Arad died in the Bekaa Valley sometime around 1995. And the operation to retrieve his remains wasn’t even successful.

But to make matters worse, even Arad’s widow has called on the Israeli government not to attempt to retrieve the body.

Illegal detention

Currently, Israel is holding over 9350 Palestinians in its occupation prisons and detention centres. This includes around 350 children. This figure does not include:

all Gaza detainees held in Israeli military camps under this category, which also encompasses Arab detainees from Lebanon and Syria.

Therefore, we should expect the number to be much higher. Importantly, these Palestinians were not in fighter jets bombing Israel or committing war crimes. Israel is holding around 50% of them without charge.

Administrative detainees alone account for more than 36% of all Palestinian’s being held illegally. This means:

a person is held without trial without having committed an offense, on the grounds that he or she plans to break the law in the future. As this measure is supposed to be preventive, it has no time limit.

This means Israel literally has unlimited power to capture Palestinians.

Israel is putting more value on the 40-year-old corpse of a war criminal than on the 44 Lebanese people. And the media is lapping it up.

As usual, it’s one rule for Israel and its allies, and one for everyone else. Israel murders innocent Lebanese people with impunity under the illusion of “special operation”. Meanwhile, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and Palestinians are met with the full force of Netanyahu and Trump’s war crimes.

On the face of it, it’s the same nazi bullshit we see from the Zionist regime every single day. Except this time, the racism is even clearer. One Jewish Israeli life is worth so much more than 44 Arabs.

And the BBC? Netanyahu and Trump say jump, and the BBC asks, ‘How high?’. The BBC is complicit in Israel and the US’s war crimes — and maybe one day the world will hold it accountable.
