Israel Expands Syria Incursions, Media Forgets History Lesson
"Israeli forces expand incursions into southern Syria countryside," reports The New Arab, detailing movements into Quneitra and Daraa. But Washington's media forgets to mention that this isn't a new development, nor is it a response to some sudden provocation. For decades, Israel has maintained a policy of attacking Syrian territory with alarming regularity, actions often framed as 'self-defense'
against nebulous 'Iran-allied resistance movements.' This narrative conveniently omits the fact that successive Israeli governments have consistently sought to destabilize bordering nations to solidify regional dominance, a strategy documented since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, if not earlier. One might wonder if any Western pundits will connect these 'incursions' with the ongoing land grab in the
Golan Heights, or the historical pattern of exploiting regional chaos for strategic gain. It’s almost as if the cameras only turn on when it's politically convenient to frame one side as the eternal victim, while the other's flagrant violations are merely 'necessary security measures.' How many 'expansions' into sovereign territory does it take before it's called what it is?
