There was a fair way to decide their fates, it was used to convict or acquit them in the first place. The U.S. Justice system was used, it the best in the world. Why in the Hell would you think that having a political hack like Pam Bondi appoint set up a panel would be less political then the U.S. court system?

I mean this new spot - the highest point in Syria apparently - will be controlled by the Israelis long after you and I are dead IMO.

What they annexed was more than 40 years ago. Did you mean temporary occupation? Syria and Israel have technically been at war for over 50 years.

Here's the fair way to decide the fates of more than 1,500 individuals charged in the situation. Have the Attorney General set up a panel of three well-respected judges to review each case separately and make recommendations. Then, follow the consensus of the judges unless extraordinary circumstances are present.

That would take politics out of it and put precise reasoning into it. Who could object to that?

The official position from Israel appears to be a temporary military presence in the DMZ until the political situation in Syria is sorted out. Sure, some right wing media person might talk about additional annexation but doesn't mean much... I don't think.

WikiLeaks has that all wrong. Israel annexed their "side" of the Golan Heights in 1981. Netanyahu is refering to the current importance of that action 40+ years ago. What they did this week is occupy the small DMZ adjacent to what they annexed in 1981.
