Israel targets Syrian army after errant fire hits Golan

[Steely Dan]

Wake me up when someone hits a hospital. In the meantime I trust Israeli deterrence will have calmed the region in time for my planned holiday over Passover. Looks very picturesque.

If you were well read you would understand it is far far more complex than that. The problem is these days that most people can't be bothered to spend time reading, they just switch the box on and swallow the crap they are fed.

 

OK, so when I watch the news I see arabs killing arabs. That these arabs are on different sides is irrelevant, They are all muslims killing muslims, some in the name of Islam!!! How is that being fed crap?

They can not use it to attack Israel effectively as long as it is occupied.

 

Thank you Ulysses. Your use of the word "Occupied" is well noted. It is about time you admitted it.

[Ulysses G.]

I do not remember commenting on Golan before. As usual, you are very mistaken.

 

Occupied: To be resident of; dwell in.

I do not remember any previous threads about the Golan. I do not remember any conversations anywhere conflating the annexation of the Golan with the occupation of the West Bank.  Neither do I remember encountering any conversations regarding an occupation of the Sea of Galilee.

 

Alas for Steely Dan, my very dated recommendation for the Golan region, the hot springs at Hamat Gader, has been turned into some dreadful godawful gaudy  tourist attraction. Perhaps the Druze town of Majdal-Shams has retained some vestiges of charm

Oh dear, this all does get rather complicated.

Seems your memory is failing also. Oops look below here you are discussing and conversing Golan and the occupation of the West Bank. Don't worry you are not alone with your memory loss. Like minded kindred spirits are here to keep you company

The Golan is a completely separate issue from the illegal, unwanted, and unnecessary occupation of the West Bank. The Golan region was sparsely populated and ethnically Druze and not Syrian. The only Syrian populations were the military camps. There is a plausible argument that Israel should maintain the Golan for basic security based upon geography. This is in sharp contrast to the West Bank territories which are more densely populated by an Arab population that will actively resist the ridiculous occupation and is a region that apart form some minor adjustments, does not pose a significant security threat based upon geography.

No I don't. These threads have been going on for years and my memory is not what it used to be. However, I certainly got it right anyway.

 

"Of course, the Golan Heights should remain "under Israel's sovereignty permanently." Syria can not be trusted to keep the peace otherwise."

I was the one who used the word. I know which definition applies to my statement. You are interpreting it the way that you would like it to be. You are mistaken yet again.

 

Occupied: To be resident of; dwell in.
