“Trump Supports Israeli Sovereignty Over the Golan Heights” | WSJ

An Israeli soldier patrols the Golan Heights
But...but... isn't Trump a racist antisemite?
If he is, he's not a very good one as this latest step comes after the move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem, a move consistent with long-standing US policy.
I've been to the Golan Heights and is obvious why, whatever Elise happens, Israel can't hand them back to Syria. The soldier above is looking over Israel to the right. The perfect base to lob rockets into Israel. And they would not be just Syrian rockets. Iran is lining up there, inside Syria, ready to attack its hated enemy. If you look left in this picture, you're looking into Syria where you can still, to this day, see tanks destroyed in the Six Day war.
So, screw it. Golan Heights is Israel. It has to be for its national security.
