There have been repeated attempts to fabricate incidents in order to justify US and Israeli military intervention in the country.

Much like the false <a href=\"news\/its-wmd-all-over-again-why-dont-you-see-it\" target=\"_blank\">Weapons of Mass Destruction<\/a> (WMD) justification to invade Iraq in 2003, these latest events are eerily similar. That\u2019s because it is the very same program: vilify your target by way of a false chemical weapon attack on civilians or claims of WMD stockpiles and then invade. If you\u2019re Israel, you would rather the Americans do the heavy lifting for you; and when it\u2019s all over, just hang it around the neck of your gentile scapegoat (President George W. Bush or in this case President Donald J. Trump). The narrative constructed around this incident is yet another series of lies seeded into the culture by way of the mainstream media to legitimize Israel\u2019s Imperialist aspirations in the region. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mundilfury\" target=\"_blank\">Mundilfury<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Israel carried out air strikes against a Syrian air base early Monday morning and informed the U.S. in advance, two U.S. officials told NBC News.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Assad?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Assad<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Putin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Putin<\/a> are not the enemy.
