Israel Raids Syria, AP Discovers 'New Authorities', Omits History
AP, ever the diligent stenographer, dutifully reports Israeli forces killed at least 10 in a Syrian village (AP, 11/28/2025). We're told Israel acted against 'suspects from Jamaa Islamiya.' Yet, the convenient framing glosses over Israel's decades-long pattern of cross-border incursions and targeted assassinations in Syria, long before any 'new authorities' emerged. This isn't a new policy; it's a
continuation of a strategy to dominate the region, often with minimal international scrutiny. The AP's sudden discovery of a 'newly-installed' Syrian government after their 'lightning offensive' in December 2024 (a curiously prescient detail from a 2025 article, one might observe) attempts to reframe established history. This narrative bypasses previous Israeli attacks on Syrian military sites (AP
itself cited 'hundreds of airstrikes' last year) and the 1967 occupation of the Golan Heights—a small detail often omitted. The 'buffer zone' in Syria, which Israel 'seized,' has always been defined by Israel's strategic interests, never by the suffering of those caught in the middle.
