Interesting things I read today

I keep hearing about speculations and rumors about a secret agreement between Syria and Israel in the works, as we speak. According to some of these speculations, the arrangement is that Israel will return most of the Golan to Syria and only keep the “strategic areas” and some settlements. In exchange, Syria will receive an equivalent amount of land from Jordan and Lebanon respectively, Israel would compensate them both from its “own” land.
This is like Sykes-Picot determining the shape of the Arab states and inventing borders between states them, in total disregard of the natives (they are extras or “don’t exist” as Golda Meir commented about the Palestinians). The Golan is Arab and NOT Israeli, hence, its not their land to determine how it should be divided! Israel must withdraw from all Arab occupied lands, allow the refugees to return AND compensate them. NOW!
