Not that it has any impact on anything, but that article was written in Oct, 2015.

Israel too control of the Golan Heights after they were attacked in 1967.  I say it belongs to Israel now.

However, IF Israel had attacked Syria first and seized the land, then I would say it should revert back to Syria.  Of course, intervening events have developed that in my mind make the 1967 conflict irrelevant and will make Syria "spoils of war".

We have more oil, natural gas, and coal in the U.S.  So what?

There's a country called Syria that is controlled by Israel?

I did notice the "?", so I assume that isn't a statement.  What is the question in reference to?

The subject of the thread; I believe he's pointing out the inaccuracy contained therein.

It's odd how muslims think they are entitled to land they lost when they sneak attacked a neighbor...

Reminds of the reparations racists in the democrat party.

I was playing with the poor grammar of the sentence.  In this structure, the phrase "that Israel controls" applies to the nearest noun Syria, implying that Israel controls Syria.

I believe maybe what was intended is that "Oil controlled by Israel found in Syria."  Is this oil in the ground or in some kind of portable storage?

That light dinged when it was pointed out to me that you were referring to the title.
