IMHO, the Israelis ought to ANNEX the Golan Heights, by right of conquest.

The only thing on the table for Syria should be "If you stop funding and arming Hezbollah, we won't go to Damascus and kill everyone we find there."

"IMHO, the Israelis ought to ANNEX the Golan Heights, by right of conquest. " Israel all but annexed the Golan in 1981, but has not done so officially.

Annexation-by-conquest is not recognized as valid any more, by international law. Indeed, such law is why we kicked Saddam out of Kuwait.
