U.S. recognizes Israeli sovereignty of Golan Heights
The United States today officially recognized the Israeli claim of sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
President Trump on Monday formally recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, giving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a much-needed boost as he raced home to respond to a rocket attack that struck near Tel Aviv, wounding seven.
Mr. Trump’s proclamation reversed about a half-century of U.S. policy, which viewed the Golan Heights as Syrian territory occupied by Israel. “This was a long time in the making, it should have taken place many decades ago,” Mr. Trump said as he signed the papers inside the White House.
The rocket attack came from Gaza, causing Netanyahu to cut short his U.S. trip to deal with it.
Remember Gaza? That was the territory that Israel once controlled, and unilaterally left in order to give the Palestinians their own sovereign state. They have since used that sovereignty to elect terrorists as their leaders, and to lob bombs at innocent Israelis.
The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.
Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

“1,000 Years From Now, Trump Will Be Remembered For Recognizing Israeli Sovereignty”

Its about time.
For one it was taken during a state of war.
For two Syria never tried to recover it. They just gave it up.
I feel sorry for the Palestinians in some ways. They have been lied to by everyone in the region except Israel.
They were lied to by everyone when Israel was created. And lied to ever since then. Their hatred of Israel has been stoked by a huge amount of nations and people around the world. They have been used as pawns in a war of hate.
If they had spent as much time creating a nation state on the lands they are on instead of war they would be a prosperous people by now.
Prosperous people will never be produced by an inferior culture.
That kidney shaped hole in Israel called the West Bank has always irked me. Can that be next?
