The wonderful golan



i want to show you where I live. So far u have seen a bit of me through the articles that I have decided to publish. Now I wish to show u where I live. I like the desert a lot but for me the Golan is the most special part of Israel. First of all let me show u where the Golan is!!!!!





Ok now that we have that sorted out...............................The signpost really exists. The Golan heights became part of Israel when in 1967 the Arab armies felt they had a chance of pushing the Jews (Israeli) in the sea. Within 6 days of war Israel in the north took Syrian territories , an area called the Golan heights. The usual term used is occupied territory. Were the Jews expected to give it back after having taken it defending their right to live in smaller Israel? One minister recommended doing so although not in the Golan. His name was Allon. He lived on a kibbutz on the sea of galalli only a few miles from the Golan.





On 26 July he [Yigal Allon, then Deputy Prime Minister of Israel] submitted to the cabinet a plan that was to bear his name [The Allon Plan]. It called for incorporating in Israel the following areas: a strip of land ten to fifteen kilometers wide along the Jordan River; most of the Judean desert along the Dead Sea; and a substantial area around Greater Jerusalem, including the Latrum salient. Designed to include as few Arabs as possible in the area claimed for Israel, the plan envisaged building permanent settlements and army bases in these areas. Finally, it called for opening negotiations with local leaders on turning the remaining parts of the West Bank into an autonomous region that would be economically linked to Israel. The cabinet discussed Allon's plan but neither adopted nor rejected it."





The Golan heights were not part of the plan but I believe that the above plan would lead to the same happening in the north. However it was not to be and the Golan heights were developed by Israel




.




In 2005 the Golan Heights had a population of approximately 38900, including approximately 19300 Druze, 16500 Jews, and 2100 Muslims. The most interesting population are the Druze population. 10% have Israeli citizenship The other 90% have Syrian Citizenship. Since 2005 Israel and Syria have an agreement allowing druse to export their apples to Syria. Syria also offers those with Syrian citizenship free university education. they have a standard of living vastly surpassing that of their counterparts on the Syrian side of the border, which causes them to fear a return to Syria, though most of them identify themselves as Syrian. Ties to Syria are on the wane, and many have come to appreciate aspects of Israel's liberal democratic society, although few risk saying it publicly for fear of Syrian retribution. As I have mentioned previously on this blog I have Druse friends and am welcome in there houses. I know many of them have family in Syria have studied in Syria yet have come back to live in Israel. One of those men is my dentist whose practace is in Qasrin (where I live) a nearly totally jewish settlement.




I wish to post some pictures of the Golan heights




For now enjoy the Golan soon I will also talk about the capital of the Golan qasrin.

The world is full of suprises!!!!!






August 4, 2007Funny but its not a joke, this Israeli propaganda is circulating in South-America for few days, an article appeared on South-American newspapers claims that Che Guevara’s mother (Celia la Serna) is a Russia-Jew immigrated to Argentina.
Before her death in 1965 she told her son (Guevara) that she her brother (Samuel) lives in Israel and his son called Ariel serves in the Israeli Army.
The propaganda continues, the article claims also that Che Guevara visited Israel secretly with a false passport and met his "cousin" and took some religious lessons.
Although historians and Guevara’s biographers denied the story saying that Guevara’s mother immigrated from Spain.
You can read this story in Spanish:
- El Che Guevara, primo de Ariel Sharon?
- DESCARTAN PARENTESCO ENTRE CHE GUEVARA Y SHARON

Ok I don't know if this story is true or not......but it is a hell of a good story. I found it also in hebrew in a dependable newspaper called Maariv. hard to believe but ...........

why should they wait

I read that by the time the war started that there were only 29,000 Jews in Germany. The first group to be killed were the handicapped. Jews though were considered as the enemy. German Jews had mostly emigrated under the pressure of Hitlers government so the Jewish problem only became real again as Germany invaded other countries. I had often wondered why the camps were not in Germany and I guess that is the reason. It is said that the poles were the most antisemitic race. Thinking I wonder how much of this hate was due to the Nazi party and there need for a solution in Poland.
As we all know not all the Jews were found by the Nazi party because there were none Jews people who were willing to risk their life for the Jews. Anne Frank being a famous example of a Jewess who live most of the war in hiding. Towards the end of the war she was captured and sent to a camp where she was killed.
professor Weiss an Israeli politician behind the project to to stop poverty among the Jewish war survivors, the people who initially worked the land and made Israel a reality yesterday said that if Anna Frank was alive she would not be entitled to the special pension of just over a thousand shekels a month ($200) as she was not in a camp or ghetto. While this is not true, and he knows it is not true it is a very striking point.

Sudanese refugees in Israel




these Sudanese women live in Israel. There are 500 here as legal Immigrants. However an estimated 1160 and another 1,500 Egyptians have arrived here over the desert boarder with Egypt.....a large are without boarder fences. It appears that Israel intends to send the Illegal immigrants back to Egypt. I am sad for them.I understand that they want to live here rather than Egypt but i think Israel has little choice
