A propaganda blitz for Israel in US media

So Israel summoned the Western media and told them that it is humanitarian and shipping aid to Syrians near the border with Golan.  Of course, in such cases, all US media oblige and report verbatim what they are fed by Israeli professional propagandists.  This reminds me of how US media reported Israeli role in the Lebanese civil war (and reporters back then were less misinformed and less pro-Israel): Israel would report that it is delving aid to the "Security Zone" near the border with Lebanon, while not reporting to the press about its shipment of bombs and arms to the right-wing death squads of Lebanon.  Look how NYT and WP reported the same Israeli propaganda talking points.
