Syria Does Not Want Peace
By Micah Halpern

Wednesday June 11, 2008

I've Been Thinking:

Just to set the record straight:
There is little chance of a real peace treaty between Israel and Syria.

Here is what the Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Fayssal al-Mekdad said yesterday: "I hope Israel responds to the requirements of peace, which are the end of the occupation of Palestine and the establishment of a Palestinian state, restoration of the Syrian Golan and pull out of remaining occupied Lebanese territory ... Our goal is an Israeli withdrawal from all the lands of the Syrian Republic. This is the basis for launching direct talks."

In other words:
Israel, get out of the Golan - and then we can have negotiations.
The rest of his comments are just bluster.

It is essential to realize is that Syria does not want to give anything.
Syria just wants to receive.
Syria just wants the Golan Heights.
Then, as far as Syria is concerned, whatever happens, happens and whatever doesn't happen, doesn't happen.
