  1. Occupying enemy territory until a peace treaty is reached is one thing. But Israel just uses that as an excuse to annex land, you don’t move in settlers to land you are temporarily occupying.

    Imagine if the US had started flooding parts of Japan or Germany with American settlers. It’s insane. 

  2. >Some analysts have warned that Israel risks becoming mired in a complex conflict in Syria, possibly one recalling the country’s costly, long term occupation of southern Lebanon from 1982 to 2000.

    No way! Israel would never voluntarily get itself embroiled in a never ending conflict!

  3. The Syrian people have the right to defend themselves from Israeli aggression. This is a naked land grab that Israel only gets away with thanks to the United States. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised as Trump continues to demand the annexation of Canada and Greenland. So much for freedom and sovereignty.

  4. Guys it’s not occupation, it’s a 3 days special settlement operation

    I’m curious what kind of mental gymnastics you have to engage in to justify this though as the new syrian leadership has constantly stated that it wants good relations with israel and israel has used every opportunity to try and cause instability.
