It would be so ridiculous to give up golan hts!!!

These are the reasons not to give up Golan!!!

1- Israel can watch directly all the way to Damascus from golan!

2- Golan has much of the water sources

3- The golan has been in Israel`s possession longer than it was in Syrian possession!!

4- With the Golan Syria is no threat to israrel because of the main obstacles - kav habitzurim!

5- Even if we don`t give up golan Syria isn`t a real threat - Syria is dirt poor and Israel`s airforce is way superior

6- without the golan in Israel`s hands, syria has a major strategic advantage

7- Syria is totally uninterested in peace - they house terror organizations and support hizbullah

8- As is today the syrian border is very stable why destabilize it?

9 - there is no demographic problem for Israel in the golan!!

10 - Syrria is controlled by a totalitarian minority sect and can potentially be overthrown. who guarantees that peace will continue with a different govt.
