1. "islam"Arab League against...
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (03.31.19)
They always are against something, instead of for. They must not meddle/interfere with the United States and Israel, in this case. They must mind their own business. That also goes for the organization of islamic cooperation/the "islam" world caliphate, for any other country and for the United nations. Golan belongs to/ is Israel.

One of the few things that have united the Arab League over the last 50 years is the rejection of Israel's occupation of the Golan Heights as well as east Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Before 1967 war the Arabs were all United in favour if Israel's annihilation.
3. Useless Arab League.This is the only thing they are good at.

4. Useless posturing for the Arab 'street'
David ,   Hartford USA   (04.01.19)
The Arab League of Unextraordinary Gentlemen are just making noise for the Arab street. The actually don't care at all.

Let's consider what they are saying: they prefer that the Golan would go back to a mass-murdering tyrant, where gassing his own citizens is normal behavior.

Really? Too bad this League of Useless Bureaucrats doesn't have the integrity to announce that they believe the best interests of the people of the Golan are served by it belonging to Israel. But then, what did we expect from these clowns in bedsheets.

6. AGAIN AND AGAIN...
FO ,   Belgium   (04.01.19)
And still nobody in Israel to tell, based on official documents, that the Golan Heights NEVER were part of Syrian real estate. Not Netanyahu, not Bennett, not Shaked, the Minister of Justice (!), of course not Ganz, neither Lapid. And people are sufficiently naive to believe that President Trump took the initiative as well as his administration, to recognize Israel's "annexation" of the Golan Heights without being convinced that this territory never belonged to Syria. But convinced that is was part of the "Mandate for Palestine", the territory to become the Jewish Independent State as decided by the League of Nations' Resolution called the Mandate for Palestine reaffirmed by Article 80 of the United Nations' Charter. This based on the conclusion of a report made by 4 generals, 2 admirals, 4 acting, assistant and deputy Secretaries of Defense, and last but not least, the author of UNSC Resolution 242, ordered by the American "Center for Security Policy". Some excerpts of the conclusion of this report: "A Mandate is a Trust, according to ART. 80 of the UN Charter. Israel's decision to impose its Laws on the Golan Heights on December 14, 1981, had eventually RIGHTED the WRONG that was committed by the British in March 1923.... The "Golan Heights" as they are known TODAY were never part of Syrian Real Estate, but part of the Palestine Mandate".
7. Somali diplomat Abdullahi Dool was fired for abstaining.
David ,   Hartford USA   (04.01.19)
This brave gentleman, a real diplomat, was quietly fired for abstaining on this vote. He favors better relations between the two countries. He states facts when he says Hamas has ruined Gaza.

And he gets fired for it.

Maybe he'll accomplish more if Israel hires him as a representative to the Arab League of Pathetic Losers.
