For Israel Holding the Golan is more important than peace with the Assad family.
Syria should ask Israel for peace and offer in exchange the Golan. But of course that will not happen. So, there is no reason for Israel to be generous with the Mafia regime of Assad. The Assad family has established a hereditary dynasty shored up by repression within, and confrontation and terror abroad. The rule of the Assads is not aimed at improving the lot of their people or forwarding a particular ideology. They changed ideology from secular Arabism to a seemingly impossible confection of pan-Arabism and Islamist extremism. It is pointless to ?engage? Syria in dialogue except insofar as it is possible to confront them with their violations and insist that they mend their ways as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2007/12/truth-about-syria.html |
