Bambi just read in the L’Orient Le Jour two articles. The first one informing us that Mr. Isaac Herzog, President of Israel (a post similar to the Governor General of Canada), denied the involvement of his country in the Hezbollah pager blast (https://tinyurl.com/ys7ff54m). As for the second one, it informed us that Mr. Mojtaba Amani, the Iranian Ambassador in Beirut is “honoured” by the loss of an eye sustained during the pager attack (https://tinyurl.com/2s3akp7b).
If this is not gaslighting, what is it then? As a reminder, gaslighting is a form of abuse, most often observed within romantic relationships, in which one partner tries to control the other one by making them doubt or question themselves (https://tinyurl.com/y93vds3z).
Can we please call a spade a spade? Not only innocent people are being taken hostage in this awful regional conflict, their intelligence is now being insulted.
Let’s hope President Herzog comes to his senses in time to enjoy some of the excellent Arab cartoonists and their take on recent events in MEMRI.ORG: https://www.memri.org/reports/following-hizbullah-pager-explosions-arabs-social-media-slam-organization-and-celebrate-its?fbclid=IwY2xjawFehlZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHZOaCVC2nh2cJX4wC4-h87Ug8PibI22XLQN_Vgf7MHvhysnsv-ImxVMMIw_aem_Njb2p4MYBAUaFfdriJT1SQ
