HUNDREDS of Syrians rallied in opposition to Israel’s plans to double the settler population in the occupied Golan Heights today, vowing to resist demographic change.
Protesters gathered close to the border, restating their loyalty to Damascus and declaring that they would block the construction of more illegal settlements there.
Israeli Prime Minister Natfali Bennett told ministers yesterday: “This is our moment. This is the moment of the Golan Heights,” as they gathered in Golan’s Mevo Hama community.
Police crackdowns on Israeli peace demonstrators combined with court rulings and settler organisations are designed to strip Palestinian families of their homes and land. The Israeli state has tried to silence both Israelis and Palestinians who resist, according to Zo HaDerekh (This Is The Way) the Communist Party of Israel’s Hebrew-language weekly
