Remember when people put Eiffel Tower overlays on their social media profiles after the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attacks that killed 12 people? Why don’t Israeli attacks on Lebanon garner that level of response? Maybe—just maybe—social media solidarity movements are not organic. Huh. Israel has pledged to continue the attacks, tepid condemnation or not. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said this to Israelis on Thursday, “We are continuing to strike Hezbollah with full force, and we will not stop until we restore your security.” The U.S. has also pledged to stay battle-ready. On Thursday, President Trump said that the U.S. military will stay ready for any “appropriate and necessary… lethal prosecution and destruction of an already substantially degraded Enemy.” He said that if a “REAL AGREEMENT” is not reached, the battle will resume. Why the emphasis on REAL AGREEMENT? Because he is refuting the details that were publicized after Israel violated the agreement, namely, that Israel would withdraw from Lebanon and that Iran would proceed with nuclear enrichment. Vice President JD Vance was scheduled to go to Pakistan this weekend to work on that REAL AGREEMENT, alongside Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, but on Wednesday the President said that he may not send the Vice President over “safety” concerns. Iran has said many times that they do not want to re-open discussions with Witkoff and Kushner. Who could blame them? Every time they go to the negotiation table with those two feckless lackeys, they get bombed by the U.S. and Israel again. Sending those two knuckleheads, with or without the Vice President, shows a REAL lack of good faith but I guess that’s what we’re doing. The post Selective Outrage appeared first on Redacted.
