US Alarmed Israel's Strikes Destabilize Syria, Not Occupation
The Axios story conveniently frames Israeli aggression as a problem for U.S. 'peace efforts' (read: normalization deals). It notes Israeli forces killed 13 Syrians, 'many of them civilians,' during a raid 10 miles into Syria. Yet, the alarm isn't over the illegal incursion or civilian deaths, but that 'Bibi sees ghosts everywhere' and interferes with Syrian 'evolution into a prosperous State' – a
state Israel has routinely bombed for years. The article also mentions the Trump administration's unusual siding with Syria against Israel, which itself should raise eyebrows given the history of unconditional U.S. backing for Israeli actions. The media narrative consistently reframes Israeli military actions—a raid, airstrikes killing civilians— as simply 'destabilizing' for U.S. goals, rather
than what they are: acts of war and violations of sovereignty. It’s always about the U.S. agenda being 'undermined,' never about the actual human cost or the documented history of Israeli expansionism that underpins these 'alarms.'
