Talkback
Title:The people of Israel are against giving away the Golan.
Name:Jean Van Daem
City: MetulaState:
Yossi Peled, former Northern District Command chief for the IDF, called a withdrawal from the Golan Heights ?suicide.? Peled took a philosophical turn and concluded by saying, ?Peace for the Jewish State is not a goal. Peace is a means to a goal, and our goal is to ensure the physical existence of the Jewish State. That is the goal and hopefully we will then be able to achieve peace.? There is no majority in the Knesset, nor in the nation for withdrawal from the Golan ? more than 70 out of the 120 Knesset Members oppose withdrawal from the Golan Heights. Among the Israeli public, Katz claimed, 70% oppose concessions on the Golan. Giving the gnor to Syria, means having Iran in the Golan.
