Eight members of a single Lebanese family were murdered in an Israeli strike. This is not collateral damage; it is the obliteration of a household, a lineage, a future.
The United States sends $3.8 billion a year in military aid to Israel. That money does not float in abstraction. It lands in real places, with real consequences, for real families like this one.
Meanwhile, 60 Minutes grants airtime to Benjamin Netanyahu, a convicted war criminal, offering a platform while graves are still fresh. Journalism should question power, not normalize it amid mass civilian death.
We cannot mourn selectively. If we value human life, our outrage cannot stop at borders, alliances, or politics. A family in Lebanon is as human as any family here.
Our tax dollars should not underwrite the erasure of entire households.
