Fifteen hundred people charged for the January 6 riot. That's a political action if there ever was one. It's not like they attacked the capitol building with tanks and then burned it down.

Well, the political hacks in the current administration and corrupt DOJ put a lot of protestors and trespassers in prison. I bet most of them with no prior criminal record. The majority are no threat to society, but it makes leftwing nuts like you feel good.

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?

Temporary annexation will likely outlive all of us. Just sayin’

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.
