Rumors of War - Security of Jerusalem - Doomed Damascus

My Way News - Bombing hits Israeli military patrol near Syria
My Way News reports: "A roadside bomb hit an Israeli patrol near the frontier with the Golan Heights on Tuesday, the army said, wounding four soldiers in the most serious violence to strike the area since the Syrian conflict began three years ago. Israel said it responded with artillery strikes on Syrian army targets. [...] Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria in the 1967 Middle East war and later annexed the strategic area in a move that was not internationally recognized."

Comment: Or, you could say Israel won the Golan territory in war and now owns it. War is historically how countries settle questions of the ownership of territory. The territory is in dispute before the war...not after (for example, China, and all those islands that are currently in dispute in the South China Sea, a region many expect to be a flashpoint for war...to answer the question of who controls the islands). That's the point of fighting over territory. This rule applies almost everywhere for every country...except Israel. Somehow the laws of history are turned upside down in the unreality field surrounding Israel as her enemies press their cause after losing.
