Under International Law the Golan is Israel’s.So is Jerusalem and what is the West Bank.It was taken in a defensive war.The West Bank and Gaza were occupied illegally by Jordan and Egypt.Period.All of the Arab, UN, and EU propaganda and wishing does not change any of these facts.The Shaaba Farms was recently reaffirmed in the UN as belonging to Israel.
Israel should do a complete about face.Not one inch belongs to an Arab Palestinian group that made up these claims.Their persistent terrorizing negates every agreement .They haven’t any ground on which to stand.Bush is pushing now for Shaba Farms and Jerusalem and the West Bank ,probably, because of the Saudis.Too bad.Israel is a sovereign nation.Period.It basically stands alone, again.It cannot trust anyone.It cannot chance it.Now, the US needs Israel for many reasons.It should tell the US to back off.It cannot trade out Israel for oil and for the Saudi terrorist insurgents to cease killing our troops in Iraq.That was probably the deal made.Bush had started out as the best friend the Jews ever had, but he has utterly made a 180, which imperils the US and every sovereign democratic nation.The world will pay the price if Israel doesn’t make a firm stand.It is the frontline of the Jihadists’ and/or Islamists’
aims.Yet,Iran is the serious problem not the Palestinians.Bush acknowledged this in “The Observer” interview last week.
