Bought and paid for?
I meant to run this last week and did not get to it - thanks to Steven S for sending it in again. Israel bought - yes bought - the Golan Heights from the father and uncle of Bashar al-Assad for $100 million before the Six Day war started. Jame’, a member of the first Consultative Council in Egypt, said, “One morning Sadat took me with him in private and without a guard to the (Syrian part of the) Golan Heights, and I swear by the Almighty G-d that he put his hand on my shoulder and as we were standing on the Golan Heights, he told me literally, ‘Look, Mahmoud, this is the Golan. Can any power seize it so easily, even if it is Israel?”I don't think it's accurate to say that the Syrians withdrew without firing a shot in 1967, and that was certainly not the case in 1973, but since when do the Syrians keep agreements?
Sadat’s friend replied, “This is impossible,” and Sadat replied, “I will tell you a dangerous secret – the Golan Heights were purchased by Israel for $100 million. The check was received by both Hafez and Rifa'at al-Assad and deposited in their accounts in a Swiss bank.”
In return, Hafez Assad ordered the Syrian forces to withdraw immediately from the Golan Heights in the June 1967 war without firing a single shot and handing it over to Israel, Jame’ continued. The facts tell a different story.
“This story and my testimony of this event, has been kept secret for many years until 1999, when I alluded in the book ‘I Knew Sadat’ to the incident without revealing the full details.
“In 2006, when I was hosted by Almihwar channel, I provided the full details frankly, to the extent that even Moataz was stunned.
“The next day, Almihwar hosted Mr. Amin Gemayel, Lebanon’s former president, and the subject was raised with him. He supported my words. Then the Beirut-based Future channel tried to invite me to Beirut to discuss the subject, but I apologized, and refused.”
Syrian sources told Albawaba that Jame’s claim is “baseless" and part of a campaign to smear Assad.

looks to me like Assad bashing, just see the strange timing
Why indeed should returned to Syria?
Anyway, Carl - in Melbourne, Australia. a yasher koach should be extend to an Israeli dance group that refused to participate unless it agreed to drop all references to Israel:
Melbourne Israeli Dancing Group Dropped From Festival
"Machol organiser Moshe Lichenstein told J-Wire: “We were invited to attend the Festival by Ms Balan who has danced with us in the past. We were planning to send eight girls who were going to perform three dances. We have more than 200 members in our group and we dance four times a week.” He added that Machol had never experienced a problem like this since it was established in 1993. Machol’s members are not all Jewish."
This is the first time anyone can remember an Israeli group told not to be identified by their country. If they were Palestinians, its not hard to imagine the decision would have been different. Outrageous - and glad to see they upheld Israel's honor at an international event.
Nonsense.
Do they have the canceled check or a receipt? That is a lot of money and there must be a forensic trail. This is exactly the type of documentation that could be linked into title search GIS layers. The base map can be used for all kinds of resource management and layers can be in there for title search and ownership history...
MORE FRAUD CLAIMS,DOES ISRAEL HAVE A RECEIPT?LOL AND SORRY BUT ISRAEL IS STILL VIOLATING UN RESOLUTIONS,AND STILL ''ILEGALLY'' OCCUPYING GOLAN ACCORDING TO UNITED NATIONS'' .DEAL WITH IT!!
Nope. If there is a receipt or other title trail,then Israel owns it outright, in spite of attempts to confiscate. Sorry. Civilized land policies are based on title searches, plot maps, etc. Not strong wishing.
