On Syria and the Golan Heights

As for the issue of making peace with Syria over the Golan Heights, the Jewish people should make a peaceful resolution that both them and Syria can live with.

What should be taken into consideration for one is water rights for both people, so no one is deprived and with respect to both parties, among other issues.

In my opinion, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a reasonable man and would work to make this a situation that both parties can live with, but I will say, the Golan Heights should be returned to Syria for this land does belong to them.

Something to remember, this land was taken during a time of war and it is better to have peace then mistrust by one’s neighbors.
