It is a cherry picked headline. Here is another from the AP that gives a different story: “Middle East latest: Israel plans an extended occupation of Syrian buffer zone”

Why was the cherry there in the first place that it got picked? Stupid headline or article, even if its only one, needs to be called out on

Oh it’s not stupid, it’s an intentional effort to manufacture consent.

Even that is far too mild. The Syrian “buffer zone” is there to “protect” the Golan Heights, which was also originally pitched as a “buffer zone”. Wonder what the long term plans are for this new “buffer zone”, and which zone will buffer it next?
