1. Recognition
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (03.21.19)
Not only easy, empty promises. In this case, first see it, then believing, accepting and knowing for sure. Also by law and legislation, national and international..
2. NO FAVOR AT ALL!
FO ,   Belgium   (03.21.19)
US recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights is pure evidence, because they NEVER were part of Syrian real estate. The Golan Heights were an integral part of the League of Nations’ Mandate of Palestine territory, intended to become the independent Jewish state. That the British Mandatory, betraying the League of Nations, the Jewish people and breaching Article 5 of the Mandate (the Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the Government of any foreign power), ceded the Golan Heights to the French Mandate of Syria, as thanks to France for having accepted to move Mosul and its oil fields from Syria to Iraq under British Mandate, didn't transform the Golan Heights into Syrian real estate. It is just a scandal that France accepted from Britain a gift they knew was stolen property! Ever heard Netanyahu, Bennett, Schaked or any other Israeli politician mentioning this? NEVER!

4. DON'T DO US ANY FAVOURS.

5. A few years ago, leftist idiots urged us to abandon Golan!
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.21.19)
As Israel's election approaches, voters need to keep in mind the fact that the left is always DANGEROUSLY wrong about every important issue. As any child, capable of reading a map knows, the Golan is necessary for Israel's survival. It rightfully belongs to Israel. Now, America is on the verge of recognizing Israel's ownership of Golan. Yet a few short years ago, leading leftist "intellectual" idiots urged us to ABANDON Golan! We must NEVER place our sole tiny Homeland in the hands of the maniacal left.

8. A LESSON IN ZIONIST HISTORY!
FO ,   Belgium   (03.22.19)
President Trump will receive PM Netanyahu and teach him a lesson of Zionist history concerning the Golan Heights!
9. Israel should be very careful
Mr.Reason ,   Berlin   (03.22.19)
It looks good for Israel, isn't it?

Without further consultation with friend and foe Trump is moving embassies towards Jerusalem, now the Golan Hights.

How nice would it be if one could make such important steps just by declaration.

I would add to it the voluntary expartriation of Gaza's population to Europe, or else, supported by UN funds.

After all, an independent Palistine is as impossible along Israel, as the return of Golan Hights.

The question is, what will follow Donald Trump's activism, once the next "Obama like Friend of Israel" will be elected in to the office?

Or is it yet again an offer one can not reject?

Interestingly, in the same token when he gifts israel the recognition of a contested piece of land of a third country, USA is demanding from Israel to limit it's cooperation with China!

Thank you America, for wanting to prolong it's failing hegemony at the cost of it's partners.

I hope Israel knows what is in it's strategic interests is best.
