| Alicia, are you insane? The french were occupiers!, so they had no legitimacy to take it in the first place or give it after to anyone but to whom lived there before. The Ottomans before them were also occupiers by the way. fyi, Palestine was once part of greater Syria even. How far back history should go to consider "whose" land something is, is clearly a matter of debate. however, if you have to go back to the 1st Temple that is utterly ridiculous. Obviously, there was no such thing as a nation of Syria that far back- but nor can ancient Jews who might have walked across this land thousands of years ago - along with many other people- lend any justification for modern arrivals to lay claim to it. It was grabbed in war in the modern era, in a manner that is not acceptable to the rest of the world. Period. Try not to carve out a historical narrative that is so self serving. The people living on the Golan were arabs, speaking arabic, and practicing basically an islamic religion. |
