Jerusalem Security - Covenant With Many

U.N. chastises U.S. for recognizing Israel's claims to Golan Heights
UPI reports: "The United States was chastised Wednesday by the 14 other members of the United Nations Security Council for its decision to recognize Israel's sovereignty over Golan Heights. [...] The stretch of land between the two Middle Eastern countries was seized by Israel during the Six-Day War of 1967."

Comment: This is a great example of how easily the world gangs up on Israel. The countries represented by the Security Council are supporting Syria, a country embroiled in a civil war and controlled by a dictator (under sanction by the UN!), and taking offense at the U.S. defending Israel.  You know, historically, when a country fights a war and wins territory, that territory is considered theirs. Many times wars have been fought just to decide who controls territory and it is understood that war settles the matter. After all, why bother fighting if it didn't? So, the historical precedent is represented by the saying, to the victor go the spoils. This historical precedent apparently does not apply to Israel because....Israel. When Israel wins land in war it is thereafter called "disputed" or "occupied territory" so as to deny the legitimacy of the Israeli claim. This is why I applaud the Trump Administration for bravely recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and firmly stating that it belongs to Israel. They fought, they won, it belongs to them now.
