I stumbled across this article, and it just got me curious about this: If Israel gets 1/3 of it's fresh water supply from the Golan Heights and if each year Israeli settlers keep increasing and building more homes and `kibbutz` what does that mean really?
Why is it OK to do so for them? Why is taking over other's land and trying to stay in it permanently so easy for Jewish settlers to do and on top of it, nothing that draws in criticism from on the international arena?
My guess is, should Syria and Israel enter a peace for land agreement, Israel will only give back the land in return for some serious land and water compromises from Syria's side. The nutcase in Damascus, has been defeated on the Lebanese frontier by the determination of the Lebanese to kick his forces out for good, he is now going to announce Syria's plan to actually build an embassy in Lebanon, establish proper diplomatic ties in between both countries and do an updated border marking (which will confirm that the Israeli occupied Shebaa Farms are in fact Lebanese), it seems to me, had the fact of is Bashar Al-Assad willing to change his ways, keep his nose inside his country and get back the Golan Heights through a peace treaty would have been the only requirement for the peace treaty to happen, it seems to me this would have been done so long ago.
But it seems to me, the Israeli tactic as usual has been to encourage and give citizens incentives to go live in settlements in the occupied Golan Heights, so that when the time comes, Israel could use them as a bargaining chip in order to make a case by saying "We have xxxxxxx settlers living in the area, we can't just move them all, or we would need this and that to try to move them OR well, they would still need irrigation from Syrian land OR...." something along those lines....
TBH it looks like the Golan Heights will never be returned....
