#1 So, like, when are you going to return that part of the Tyrolean Alps you lifted from Austria after WWI? Hmmmm...

#2 Prodi stated in a press conference that the Golan is an occupied Syrian territory and should be restored to Syria, saying "this is the natural thing', stressing the need to establish a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.

Pray tell exactly what it is that the Israelis will receive in return for this gesture? As always, Europe asks that Israel make unilateral concessions without the least reciprocal commitment by its enemies. Not that genuine Arab reciprocity—a true oxymoron if ever there was one—has previously been demonstrated anyway but who's counting?

Prodi and his fellow Euroweenies need to STFU and address the far more pressing issue of Islamic radicals within their own midst. If they even try and connect the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as some sort of root cause to European Islamicization, they need a major pimpslapping.

Even more curious is how this sort of blatantly anti-Semitic unilateralism is perfectly agreeable to Europe while America's own unilateral response to Islamic terrorism is wholly unacceptable. Yet one more noxious vestige of the Eurabian pact rearing its ugly little head.

#3 It's not "occupied" territory, Doughboy, it's captured territory. If Syria wants it back so bad, tell them to come and try to take it.

#4 It's not even 'captured' territory. It's historical Israel, and an absolutely essential buffer to prevent Syrian attack and the poisoning of Israel's water supply. An good synopsis can be found here.

F OFF, Assad.

#6 It's the same old Land for Peace Promises™ they've been peddling for 20+ years.

And it's STILL a bald-faced LIE. >:-(

By all means, rhodesiafever! I first caught the term from one of OldSpook's posts. It's a real keeper and far more polite that the more common synonym for it.

Yes, Barbara, but the difference here is that Europe is pressing the Arab case while utterly ignoring the total lack of reciprocity in their suggestion. It is nothing more or less than blatant anti-Semitism to demand that Israel surrender strategically vital high-ground to their enemies with zero concessions in return. This is the same exact garbage as expecting Israel to keep the power and lights turned on in Gaza even while Hamas continues to rocket them on a daily basis. Israel has every right to simply ignore world opinion and go about exterminating the Palestinians.

#12 Hopefully, Israel will tell both the arabs and Europe to go pound sand.
I hope the strike was a reawakening of the Israeli spine, but we will see.

#13 Not sure why, but whenever I see Prodi, an automatic asociation with image of an alien anal probe comes to mind.

Is it normal? :-)

Perhaps not, butt most certainly justified.

#15 Hey ASShad, talk to this islamics about returning France to the French, England to the English, Detroit, parts of Minnesota, and California to The USA. The Golan Heights was captured when arab countries attacked Israel from all sides in the Six Day War. Ancient Israel consisted of part of what is now Syria and Jordan. Let's talk about return of territory, O.K.
