The Golan Heights was inhabited by Jews in ancient times. Thus it is part of the historic land of Israel and was also part of the Roman province of Judea. Jewish archeological remains on the Golan confirm what we knew from Josephus, the Talmud, Mishnah, and other written sources. There are several important Jewish archeological sites on the Golan [Gamla, etc].
It would be a crime to drive the Jews living there out of their homes or to endanger Israel’s long-term security by abandoning the Golan Heights. When will people realize that “peace agreements” are not peace and can be broken and often are. Especially when dealing with a fascist like Assad and company.
Further, by negotiating with Syria now, olmert is acting as if Syria’s crimes in Lebanon were of no importance.
