Should Israel give Syria the Golan Heights??
Posted on: 27 May, 2008 | 5pm
Prime Minister Olmert has started talks with Syria. These talks are sparked by the continuous requests by the "shelf agreement" and road map concept advanced by US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice. Various polls in Israel show that 65-70% of the Israeli's are against the giving up of the Golan to Syria. Yet the U.S. government is continuing to put pressure on Israel to give it up and to go back to the pre 1967 boundaries. For Israel to give up the Golan would be equavilant to commiting suicide. When will the world realize that the Palestinians have no plan to make peace with Israel? Palestinian leaders currently are completely unable to deliver on any of their obligations under the "old" road map. They will only make demands on Israel, put pressure on the United States to put pressure on Israel and give nothing in return.
