Israel’s Golan.

Forever.

Syria chose war instead of the Golan.

I think the interest in the Golan has something to do with the evolution of a “Syrian” identity.

It is shameful that we have done very little to relieve the suffering of the Golanis. We actually know very little about them. A lot of us for example, never heard about the uprooting of large prosperous communities of Circassian and Chechen Syrians from the Quneitra and other villages in 1967.

I am not sure who is to blame.

علوش, I’m looking forward to your post.

Batoul Said: “But with this all…. It still remains that we are one. And if my parents as the “victims” are still living and loving the air of that beautiful city, then ANYONE could accept the strive to brining Golan back with pride.”

Yazan said: “Many Syrians are unaware of how bad we’ve treated Nazeheen, how little we’ve given them.”

The Ideas you [Both of you] are pointing here are magnificent, I can’t imagine seeing these ideas which they are deeply related to Syrians from the street level to the Academy level and not translated, I do have thoughts about what you said, but you have the Ideas well organized.

I think I know now what I’m going to write about in Arabic ;) .

I am not simply lashing myself because I enjoy it, I am stating a fact that many Syrians are unaware of. Many Syrians are unaware of how bad we’ve treated Nazeheen, how little we’ve given them.

The mere fact that your parents had to leave the country, like many others, should be an warning bell.

There’s a lot to be said about the Naksa, there was a lot of treason involved, in Jordan, Syria and Egypt… Unfortunately, most of those involved are still in power, or at least a continuum of them. I hope someday we will hear the real story behinf that war.

All the best,

My father fought the war.

When they moved to Damascus, they were given hardship and looked down upon.

But with this all…. It still remains that we are one. And if my parents as the “victims” are still living and loving the air of that beautiful city, then ANYONE could accept the strive to brining Golan back with pride.

No shame in bettering ones-self. You just need to look at it in a different way… Starting from this point and moving along to bring back what was always meant to be for us anyway ;]

Bless Syria and its people.

Don’t take it personally. I don’t mean that we are responsible personally. Obviously, we couldn’t have done anything about it even if we wanted to. But, collectively, as a people, as inhabitants and citizens of this country, yes we are responsible for their misery.

Ofcourse it’s a good sign to have people remembering our Golan, but they need to also remember that it is not about the land, but about the people of the Golan. The Golan is worth nothing to me without its people. Its people are the long forgotten ones, who nobody seems to recall, or even want to think of.
