Syria Chants 'War Inevitable,' Israeli Official Shocks No One
In a recent Fox News article, an Israeli official warns of 'inevitable war' after Syrian military chants against Israel surface. The report frames these chants as a fresh, 'chilling' provocation, ignoring that these are not new sentiments . Netanyahu's government has routinely leveraged regional tensions to justify escalations, often after similar rhetorical 'warnings' have been issued on both
sides. This time, the 'inevitability' of war is presented without acknowledging that the Syrian Golan Heights have been under Israeli occupation since 1967, a fact often conveniently omitted from such narratives. One might wonder if decades of occupation, illegal settlements, and repeated military incursions might, just might, contribute to less-than-friendly sentiments from neighboring
militaries. The 'stark warning' feels less like a new revelation and more like another page from a well-worn playbook, constantly recycling these 'threats' while expanding illegal settlements. When the outcome is 'inevitable,' the question isn't if it happens, but who benefits from its perceived necessity.
