I am a Syrian... Israel is still occupying Syrian territory (Golan heights), this occupation is ILLEGAL by the international law, and Israel is still defiant to implement UN resolutions 242 and 338 in that regards. Israelis are not willing to talk peace with Syrians... the equations is very simple for Syrians, give us back our land, and you get a full-fledged peace..."

I was waiting for someone to bring this up. Despite what the anti-Israeli UN says, the Golan Heights have rightfully belonged to Israel since 1973. Syria forfeited that land when it invaded Israel -- and LOST. When you start a war, get your ass kicked and lose territory as a result, that land is no longer yours. You should be thankful that the Israelis chose not to destroy Damascus when it lay undefended before the IDF counterattack. There is nothing for Israel to talk to you about.

The U.N. is lost in space. I can't imagine why we play along with them, but we have shown we are even willing to sign on to peace agreements that hobble Israel and give cart blanch to Hezbollah.

You're right. Syria no longer has any claim to the Golan Heights IMO. They attacked. They lost. The land was forfeit.

Although there is nothing for Israel to talk about, you can bet the U.N. and even the U.S. will talk about it, if pushed hard enough by Syria.

Israel is about to be sold out on the Golan Heights, if Syria pushes the issue and recent agreements are any indication.

Golan height weren't occupied in 73, there were occupied in 67 and Syria didn't initiate the war then....
Set your record straight....
