Israel Blows Up Bridges In Land Seizure; BBC Calls It “A Path To Peace”

Israel is blowing up Lebanon’s bridges to carve out a new border, and the BBC is still trying to sell the rubble as peace. Right, so Israel has blown up bridges in southern Lebanon, the war minister Israel Katz has ordered all crossings, all bridges over the Litani river destroyed, Israeli finance minister Bezalel Smotrich has said the Litani must become Israel’s new border, some 30km north of the current Israeli border as that is and the BBC line doing the rounds courtesy of Lucy Williamson’s report calls a “blueprint for destruction” a “path to peace”. I really wish I was joking. There is your story. Israeli insanity and land grabs and the BBC calls it a path to piece. A bridge is not an opinion. A bridge is a bridge. When the Qasmiyeh Bridge, a key crossing linking Lebanon’s south to the rest of the country, gets hit after Israel has already destroyed other Litani crossings, incidentally, that was the target that Russia Today journalist Steve Sweeney was recently caught up in, you are watching a state cut the roads that keep a region tied to its own country. The Litani River almost completely splits Lebanon into two halves, Destroying the bridges whilst the gormless government just watches and blinks and demands Hezbollah disarm as their first priority it seems, even now as the bridge blowers have demanded is making for the easiest land grab Israel could possibly wish for. All in the name of their security of course though. What we are watching here, is a line being prepared on the map with explosives and displacement orders. And when the BBC describes that method as a path to peace, the corporation is not failing to find the right words, it has found exactly the wrong ones and put them out there anyway, still either in the mindset that it doesn’t matter, or that we simply don’t care enough to notice.
