How media is portraying the bombing of Lebanon, a sovereign country, by Israel, another sovereign country, as if this was something as casual as if we just happened across the border and bombed the shit out of Ottawa. No hard feelings, right? Just normal in the Middle East for Israel to bomb another country.
This is an act of war.
If it had happened to the United States there would be planes going to Haifa and Tel Aviv right now.
Yet, since this is Israel, it's not considered an act of war. Israel can do anything it wants, right, without any conseqeunces.
Notice the date: this started at the deadline that the U.S. had established for Iran to back off its nuclear program or face consequences; you can be sure what's happening now is happening with Washington's approval, and that it isn't really Israel doing whatever it wants but a U.S. client state proxy-bombing Lebanon for it.

I thought Israel is bombing Lebanon because Hezbollah attacked Israel... The problem is that their level of response is fucking insane: they've bombed villages, an airport, numerous bridges, and many other civilian targets, whereas Hezbollah (as far as I know) went after a military target, not a civilian one.
