The word “for” makes up nearly a third of the headline. This is merely an observation, but also a slight annoyance.
I’m a native English speaker and I took me three tries to parse this headline. You can use “for” 3 times, but can’t use “is” once?
“Israeli Plan for Crocodile Moat for Prison for Palestinians IS Blocked for Animal Welfare”
The headline still sucks but at least it’s now clear that the prison is the subject being blocked.
