The author isnt’t wrong with the assertion that Hezbollah has failed it’s declared goal of keeping Lebanese people safe and that even though a lot of people are still cheering for a victory, others have gotten a lot more sober with the reality of the situation.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut..
Hezbollah began firing on Israel in solidarity with Hamas after that group’s deadly attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. For months, as Israel and Hezbollah exchanged fire across the Israel-Lebanon border, Hezbollah’s leaders swore that the battle would end only when Israel stopped attacking Gaza.
That demand is nowhere to be found in the new cease-fire, leaving Israel free to continue its quest to destroy Hamas.
What the fuck’s wrong with this guys brain? It’s not a damn RPG quest, it’s mass murder. He even acknowledges that when he wrote this article, straight up calling it an invasion. Same as in the follow up video to that article, saying the IDF troops invaded Libanon, and an earlier article reporting on armed settlers attacking Palestinians with the protection of IDS soldiers.
So why did he suddenly make an exception here and call it "quest to destroy Hamas" instead of repeating what he has said in the past.
Maybe he wanted to be more critical but his NYT paymasters set him straight again, maybe he just wants to save face and feign solidarity with civilians every once in a while? But in any way this whole flip-flopping is a good example of how disingenuous the whole white-saviour-complex of liberal journalists is.
