Do you mean the Golan Heights, where the Syrian Army had been firing
artillery down on Israeli civilians for the eighteen years preceding
the 1967 war?

Actually I was refering to the shelling of Israelis who were living
on stolen
Syrian land fronting the Sea of Galilee. Syria certainly has a right to
shell its own territory

Israel begs to differ and they are able to enforce their
preferences directly.

I have similarly suggested Syria lease the Heights to Iran as a
down range
missile test range.

And Israel could make Damascus the target area for an artillery
range. Its that close. Wouldn't be a whole lot the Syrians could do
about that.
Not to mention that having Iranian rockets overflying Iraq might have
other consequences..

If there was a dispute over the land in question then it could
certainly have
been put to international arbitration.

The Israelis aren't likely to agree to that things being the way
they are.

In any event, despite the Israeli propaganda, Moshe Dayan give the
real and
only reason for provoking Syria. To steal the land. That is what he
said. It has been confirmed by his daughter.

Yeah right.

It was this revelation which shot down the Israeli propaganda. The
propaganda
has been discredited. There is no point in trying to resurrect it today.

Jeeez, Fugginazi revisionist history, gotta love it.
