Israel sees Syria as 'warzone', conveniently ignoring 50 years of occupation
When Israel declares Syria a 'warzone,' perhaps it refers to the Golan Heights, illegally occupied since 1967 and formally annexed in 1981—a move condemned by UN Security Council Resolution 497 (1981). This isn't just 'spillover' from internal Syrian conflict; it's a consistent pattern of territorial grab and aggressive policy. While mainstream outlets present this as current geopolitical tension,
it's merely a continuation of decades-old violations, rebranded. This 'warzone' narrative serves to normalize Israeli strikes and occupations, deflecting from its own role in escalating regional instability. It's almost as if 'unrest and instability' is a feature, not a bug, when one benefits from perpetual conflict. How many sovereign nations must be labeled 'warzones' before the international
community acknowledges a pattern of expansion?
