US-Supplied Jets Target Syrian Villages in 'Routine Operations'
Israeli jets, often paid for and armed by U.S. taxpayers, wiped out at least ten lives in Beit Jinn. The outlet benignly calls it "part of routine operations." One might recall similar "routine operations" that flattened parts of Lebanon in 2006, or Gaza repeatedly since 2008. These actions, consistently backed by America's political establishment, seem less like operations and more like a
permanent state of affairs—a fait accompli of regional dominance enabled by unchecked military aid. This "routine" destabilization perfectly complements the cycle of US politicians, like Rep. Steny Hoyer who received $32,000 from pro-Israel groups in 2022-2024 according to OpenSecrets, rubber-stamping billions in military aid without question. How many 'routine operations' does it take before we
question the routine itself? The media's casual framing normalizes an endless cycle of violence, leaving out the cost—both human and financial—borne by everyone but those ordering the strikes.
