Jimmy Dore exposes the New York Times’ blatant double standard in covering Israel’s invasion of Lebanon—using the passive “Israel troops cross into Lebanon” while describing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as an “illegal annexation.” He highlights that Israel’s defense minister has now openly declared the military will occupy southern Lebanon up to the Litani River, a clear act of territorial seizure that follows Israel’s pattern of genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.
Jimmy also notes that IDF soldiers wear patches depicting “Greater Israel” a swath of land encompassing parts of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, and that the U.S. ambassador to Lebanon has confirmed Israel plans to spare Christian villages while ethnically cleansing Shiite ones.
Jimmy concludes that Israel is now waging two concurrent genocides—in Gaza and Lebanon—with the Western media actively whitewashing the crimes through passive language and false equivalences.
