    From my understanding, the whole region once was mixed race / mixed religion, Arab, which included Jews.
    However Israel wants total control and to oust everyone but Jewish.
    Or put it this way, give priority to Jewish over other ethnic races.

    Israeli settlement activity began in the 1970s. The area was governed by military administration until 1981 when Israel passed the Golan Heights Law, which extended Israeli law and administration throughout the territory.[76] This move was condemned by the United Nations Security Council in UN Resolution 497,[89][90] although Israel states it has a right to retain the area, citing the text of UN Resolution 242, adopted after the Six-Day War, which calls for "safe and recognised boundaries free from threats or acts of force".[91] The continued Israeli control of the Golan Heights remains highly contested and is still regarded as belligerent occupation by most countries. The international community rejects the validity of the Golan Heights Law as an attempted annexation by force, illegal under the UN Charter and the Geneva Conventions.[173] Israeli settlements and human rights policy in the occupied territory have also drawn criticism from the UN.[174][175]

    The Israeli-occupied territory is administered by the Golan Regional Council, based in Katzrin, which has a population of 6,400. There are another 19 moshavim and 10 kibbutzim. In 1989, the Israeli settler population was 10,000.[176] By 2010 the Israeli settler population had expanded to 20,000[177] living in 32 settlements,[178][179] and by 2019 had expanded to 22,000.[180]

    On 23 April 2019, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he will bring a resolution for government approval to name a new community in the Golan Heights after U.S. President Donald Trump.[181] The planned settlement was unveiled as Trump Heights on 16 June 2019.[18

    The whole Arab region has known nothing but warfare for centuries.

    There will never be peace in that part of the world.

    Even if Israel was to wipe out everyone they don't like with nukes, they will suffer from terrorist attacks for the rest of their existence.
    Same for Palestinians, if they were somehow to conquer river to the sea, they will never see peace.

    And neither side, Hamas or the state of Israel, deserve peace.

    Am I the only one who thinks he's just not entitled to have an opinion about this? I don't have the background, the experience, the history, nor have acces to all available information to form an unbiased opinion.

    It seems like nowadays most people read 3 random articles about a subject and think they now everything about it

    They could deserve peace if they were to agree to disagree, so that takes compromise.
    Unfortunately some will not compromise.

    Israelis tell Palestinians to get out of Raffah before they level the place down. So these poor folks, hungry and desolate, travel up north (mostly likely on foot). And what does Bibbi do? He welcomes them with an airstrke. What is this dude exactly thinking? Is this guy even a politician? For a guy who's been in office for over 30 years, this is pretty lamentable. :rolleyes:

    Well that's the prevailing mentality in that region, isn't it? LOL Whatever region that Israel occupies, "oh it's mixed-race/mixed religion so everybody gets to have a piece of it, this piece belongs to the Egyptians, that land belongs to the Syrians, this belongs to the Lebanese, oh this strip is Iranian..., everybody except the Jewish people gets to have a piece of the land" and then for the land that were occupied predominantly by the Arabs/Muslims, the Jewish people don't get a claim on them at all of course, so at the end Jewish people are once again cast out by everybody and not have a home of their own.

    My question was very specific: All those land that were bought in the 1880's as per below, WAY before the 1970's, which areas do they correspond to in Golan Heights? If these lands were bought by the Jewish people, then they rightfully belong to the Jewish people and they have every single right to install laws and administrations upon them. They bought the land, it's THEIRS! If you bought your house, are you going to allow other people to come in to your house to say it's their house?

    Early Jewish settlement

    In 1884, there were still open stretches of uncultivated land between villages in the lower Golan, but by the mid-1890s most were owned and cultivated.[68] Some land had been purchased in the Golan and Hawran by Zionist associations based in Romania, Bulgaria, the United States and England, in the late 19th century and early 20th century.[69] In 1880, Laurence Oliphant published Eretz ha-Gilad (The Land of Gilead), which described a plan for large-scale Jewish settlement in the Golan.[70]

    In the winter of 1885, members of the Old Yishuv in Safed formed the Beit Yehuda Society and purchased 15,000 dunams of land from the village of Ramthaniye in the central Golan.[71] Due to financial hardships and the long wait for a kushan (Ottoman land deed) the village, Golan be-Bashan, was abandoned after a year.[citation needed]

    Soon afterwards, the society regrouped and purchased 2,000 dunams of land from the village of Bir e-Shagum on the western slopes of the Golan.[72] The village they established, Bnei Yehuda, existed until 1920.[73][74] The last families left in the wake of the Passover riots of 1920.[71] In 1944 the JNF bought the Bnei Yehuda lands from their Jewish owners, but a later attempt to establish Jewish ownership of the property in Bir e-Shagum through the courts was not successful.[73]

    Between 1891 and 1894, Baron Edmond James de Rothschild purchased around 150,000 Dunams of land in the Golan and the Hawran for Jewish settlement.[71] Legal and political permits were secured and ownership of the land was registered in late 1894.[71] The Jews also built a road stretching from Lake Hula to Muzayrib.[73]

    The Agudat Ahim society, whose headquarters were in Yekaterinoslav, Russia, acquired 100,000 dunams of land in several locations in the districts of Fiq and Daraa. A plant nursery was established and work began on farm buildings in Djillin.[71]

    A village called Tiferet Binyamin was established on lands purchased from Saham al-Jawlan by the Shavei Zion Association based in New York,[69] but the project was abandoned after a year when the Turks issued an edict in 1896 evicting the 17 non-Turkish families. A later attempt to resettle the site with Syrian Jews who were Ottoman citizens also failed.[75]

    Between 1904 and 1908, a group of Crimean Jews settled near the Arab village of Al-Butayha in the Bethsaida Valley, initially as tenants of a Kurdish proprietor with the prospects of purchasing the land, but the arrangement faltered.[76][77]

    Jewish settlement in the region dwindled over time, due to Arab hostility, Turkish bureaucracy, disease and economic difficulties.[78] In 1921–1930, during the French Mandate, the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association (PICA) obtained the deeds to the Rothschild estate and continued to manage it, collecting rents from the Arab peasants living there.[73]
