Why show a picture of an Israeli tank? WTF does that have to do with anything? Really.

Duh! Because the article addresses "worry about Syrian deployment" and it's Israel who worries.

Maybe they didn't have a good photo of the Syrian deployments? The National Post is not exactly a top news outlet. They were founded by Conrad Black...

So the photo of a tank crushing sand dunes is how Israel worries?

I could understand some bearded Jewish guy wringing his hands, but not a stock photo of a Merkava IV at full cruising speed.

Hey, that's the media for ya.
Raising the ante and preparing us for bloodshed.

Well it's not just a game.

I know with technology nowadays misinformation is either disseminated quicker or easily identified... however, the whole reason the 67' war started was a rumor that Israel was amassing troops on the Syrian border.

Of course this rumor was wrong, but history has forever been changed.
