Say, remember my telling you that Syria isn’t making a serious offer towards peace with Israel?
Yeah, well, I’m not wrong about that.
Syrian President Bashar Assad said during a visit to The United Arab Emirates on Monday that Israel’s agreement to withdraw from the Golan Heights was a prerequisite for the renewed peace negotiations between the two countries.
Speaking to editors of local news outlets in Abu Dhabi, Assad said “Syria conditioned the launching of indirect negotiations with Israel, with Turkey’s mediation, on the (Jewish state’s) agreement to cede the Golan.
Uh-huh. And after that, all the Jews who left Syria after the founding of Israel will trip merrily back into Damascus, singing “La-la-la-la” and bearing flowers, which they will lay at the feet of the dortktator president.
I think Tom Paine is wearing off on me.
