Pathetic pacifism. Not just to Syria, but to the world community. It’s insane to think that Syria will commit to peace if the Golan Heights are given back. They are intent on Israel’s destruction just as much as other Muslim countries are.
Why would Olmert go to so much length to appease the international community and Syria? What ever happened to doing what’s in the best interest of the Israeli people?
How do the Israeli people stand this guy?
From Carl in Jerusalem:
Al Shams, an independent Damascus-based website, reported Wednesday that Prime Minister Ehud K. Olmert has informed Damascus via a third party that Israel is willing to conduct a full withdrawal from the Golan Heights in exchange for peace with Syria. According to the report, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan informed President Bashar Assad of Israel’s position.
Erdogan is expected to visit Damascus on Saturday. In a recent interview, Olmert said he hoped his efforts concerning Syria would soon be realized but failed to reveal details. No Israeli Prime Minister has ever offered Syria the entire Golan Heights. In 2000, negotiations with Syria fell apart when then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak insisted on retaining a small strip of land around the Sea of Galilee.
