Netanyahu’s naked empire-building: He demands US recognise Israeli ownership of Golan Heights
Land thief: Benjamin Netanyahu.
Let’s get this straight: The Golan Heights are owned by Syria. Israel has occupied them illegally since 1967.
Benjamin Netanyahu is simply seeking legitimisation of his country’s land-grab.
It is worth noting that Priti Patel resigned in disgrace after meeting Israeli politicians and then calling for the Department for International Development to give international aid money to field hospitals run by the Israeli army in the Golan Heights.
This would have been a tacit granting of legitimacy to the Israeli claim from the UK government.
Fortunately, it seems nobody is keen to accept Mr Netanyahu’s claim.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today said that he would not back down on his demand that the US recognise Israel’s right to the occupied Golan Heights.
“I will not give up our expectation that the United States recognise Israeli sovereignty over Golan,” he said in a statement.
Netanyahu’s remarks come one day after US National Security Adviser John Bolton told Reutersthat the US administration was “not considering the possibility” of recognising Israel’s right to the Syrian area.
Israel occupied the Syrian Golan Heights during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, when it also occupied the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip.
The UN continues to describe the Israel-held Golan Heights as “occupied” territory.

complete maniac….
The American people need to recognise Zionist ownership of US politics and fix it.
Nutty feeling all empowered by the vacuous orange buffon goes for the quick grab. Next up, what little remains of the West Bank that hasn’t already been thieved.
Then on into the Gaza intrnment camp, and then the surrounding countries, the colonial, land thieving imposters make it perfectly clear what they’re doing and what they’re going to do. They won’t stop unless they’re made to stop.
