The Washington Post’s Misrepresentation of the Shebaa Farms
Washington Post news coverage of and commentary on Israel's war against Hezbollah in Lebanon often refer to "the disputed Shebaa Farms" region and "Israeli-occupied Shebaa Farms." Such descriptions frequently accompany reports of Hezbollah insistence that it will continue "armed resistance" until Israel ceases occupying Lebanese territory. Yet there is no international dispute over the status of the 10-square-mile area at the intersection of the Lebanese, Israeli and Syrian borders.
