The new civilian terrorists: anti-Arab racism shapes the U.S. discussion of the Middle East.(TO THE POINT)
WHEN A HIZBULLAH SQUADRON entered northern Israel in July 2006 and abducted two soldiers, killing eight others, U.S. print and visual media reflexively described the move as an act of terrorism and deemed Hizbullah a "terrorist organization" (a designation long predating 2006). The descriptors assumed a particular urgency because they created a pretext for Israel to undertake a heavy bombing campaign of Lebanon, resulting in much death and destruction. The many Lebanese civilian deaths would also come to be justified for much of the public by Israel's purported battle against terrorism.
