By Graham Cooke, published 19/4/2012

Israel wants to retain the high ground because it has a ballistic advantage.

...Israels version of peace offering over the Golan heights, is to lease back land from Syria. A hand-over of the Golan Heights voluntarily, will never occur anywhere in the future, that is simply never going to happen under any circumstances:(There's water in them-there hills)! Assad and the PLO assured the Israelis of possession of this precious little “gem” in 1967.

Well, if I were a military commander in chief, surrounded on all sides by modern military armament, virtual dictators and very hostile forces, many not above declaring war on, or mass murdering their own citizenry? I certainly would not hand back; the spoils of war captured high ground, which conferred a military, intell, early warning advantage.
Water? There's oceans of it and Memtech Desal, has progressed to the point, where much lower energy requirements, will much more reliably, produce all a nation as small as tiny Israel, will ever likely need. Rhrosty.

I have stolen your house, your car, the dog and the chook shed and would like to negotiate the return of your dog.

Won't you please meet with me to ratify and agree to my theft?

Fair dinkum, why are Australian media pages infested with so many ignorant shills for Israel?

The Golan Heights was supposed to be given back in 1967 and the Israeli's do not get to negotiate with anyone over which bit to give back.

Marylin:

I have no idea what you are talking about.
If Israel returns the Golan Heights (the "dog"), what are you referring to as the "house", "car" etc?

"The Golan Heights was supposed to be given back in 1967"

Why?

"the Israeli's do not get to negotiate with anyone over which bit to give back"

Why?
