Netanyahu Visits Occupied Territory: Syria 'Condemns', World Tunes Out
The news is in: Syria has once again issued a stern condemnation of Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to the occupied Golan Heights. This isn't new; Netanyahu's predecessors and he have made a habit of these trips, each one a stark reminder of the 1967 conquest that the international community loudly decries then promptly ignores. Much like the countless UN resolutions on Palestinian territories, these
condemnations are less about actual consequences and more about diplomatic theater. While Syria huffs and puffs, the US supplies Israel with the F-35s that ensure these 'visits' continue unimpeded. One might wonder, how many condemnations does it take before actual action, or even a raised eyebrow, is considered? Or is the expectation that we simply applaud the performative outrage while the
occupation consolidates?
