Israel Finds 'Islamists' to Kill in Syria, Post-Assad
Since Bashar al-Assad's government fell, Israel has conducted 'hundreds of strikes and incursions' into Syria, according to Al-Monitor. This latest 'operation' follows a familiar script: a vague 'Islamist group' justification, 13 Syrians dead, and six Israeli soldiers injured. It's almost as if regional instability following collapses of secular regimes consistently provides opportunities for
'counter-terrorism' exercises, especially near the Golan Heights. One might recall similar justifications in Lebanon, where 'terrorists' always seem to pop up in conveniently strategic locations. The US is currently negotiating yet another aid package to Israel; Rep. Steny Hoyer, for instance, received over $100,000 from pro-Israel PACs last cycle, consistently voting for unqualified military
support. How many 'Islamists' must be found for the cycle of aid and 'operations' to cease?
