Oh, poor Israel: it is being dragged into the conflict in Syria--against its will

Look at this headline:  "Israel Finding Itself Drawn Into Syria’s Turmoil".  Like Israel was dragged into the conflict in Syria and forced to bomb Syria repeatedly.  Poor Israel.  And then: "“I think we’re being very measured and very cautious in a very volatile situation,” one Israeli official said".  Look at this absurd sentence: what is revealing is that an Israeli official can make any self-serving claim in an Western newspaper and gets away with it.  Anything.  I mean, a frog in Israel can say: I am the best looking creature there is, and the quote would appear without snickers.
