Interesting things I read today

I keep hearing about speculations and rumors about a secret agreement between Syria and Israel in the works, as we speak. According to some of these speculations, the arrangement is that Israel will return most of the Golan to Syria and only keep the "strategic areas" and some settlements. In exchange, Syria will receive an equivalent amount of land from Jordan and Lebanon respectively, Israel would compensate them both from its "own" land.
This is like Sykes-Picot determining the shape of the Arab states and inventing borders between states them, in total disregard of the natives (they are extras or "don't exist" as Golda Meir commented about the Palestinians). The Golan is Arab and NOT Israeli, hence, its not their land to determine how it should be divided! Israel must withdraw from all Arab occupied lands, allow the refugees to return AND compensate them. NOW!

These Syrian Arab Druze in the Golan Heights will never forget that are living under Israeli occupation. They will be liberated, one day.

25th Anniverssary of the Golan Strike

After a long period of time in which I have not updated this blog, I decided today its about time to make a come back. Today marks the 25th anniverssary of a courageous strike by the Arabs of the Golan who refused to accept the annexation of their land to Israel. Till this day the Arabs of the Golan reject Israeli citizenship and are anxious to return to their homeland, Syria. Mark my words, they will one day.
