The Israeli government, including many in Labor, used to proclaim, "Jerusalem is the eternal, undivided capital of the Jewish people. It is not subject to negotiation." Then they started talking about giving away the eastern neighborhoods, then Har Habayit, then some strange fantasy of having "shared sovereignty under two states." Experience has taught us that when politicians make bold statements about never giving away land, they are actually prepared to do the opposite.

there is no need to have international recognition of golan. it is israeli-end of story-it was even israeli in ancient times but certainly now, kerry and lavrov can cook up whatever schemes they want- belongs to israel and they can both take a hike, recall olmert and livni were a hair breath from giving away the golan, isis would be right on the kinneret you shmucks!

Will always be in Israels' hands.

Once again the Prime Minister is right on the money HERE... Who ever heard of returning the 'Spoils of War" to their original owners??? The Arabs fought and they lost, such is life... Get over it and move on already... YOU'LL NEVER GET THIS LAND BACK!!!

as i had posted numerous times, the sham iran deal has secret annexes that are not open to anyone else's perusal. it would seem that the two dictators, obama and putin, have decided to try to force the sovereign jewish state to relinquish part of its territory and give it pro bono publico to the no longer existing syrian state. let us not forget that putin has recently annexed all of crimea, much larger than the golan, and he is meddling militarily in parts of the sovereign state of ukraine. obama is not the least perturbed and is more than willing to make a deal with the dictator of russsia to give the golan to the non existent state of syria. it does not occur to obama that the golan is not his to give to anyone. obama imagines himself to be a benevolent rich uncle with many territories to give away. the very serious impediment in his way is the very seriously outraged sovereign jewish state of israel.

Bibi's Golan declaration is one small step ahead for Israel. Now it is way past time for Bibi to make the same declaration about Judea and Samaria. Judea and Samaria has belonged to Jews for more than 4,000 years.
