Golan allegiance to the Syrian Arab identity

Israeli media insists every once and while that those protestors in the occupied Syrian Arab Golan represent only a minority of young people driven by a feverous passion that quickly extinct without leaving a trace. That minority in the eyes of the Israeli illusionary “fact” has no significant impact, yet Israeli politicians are forced to cope with those few anger to defeat their fear of them. Moreover, they say it is absurd to claim that this minority is alarming the Israeli army, which knows how to deal with it by all means legal or illegal.

Such discourse has been posed in the past and is still on the table today and will be tomorrow; in an attempt by the Israeli occupation to obliterate the sunshine by a sieve that holes are enlarging day after day. Nonetheless, truth will arise revealing the absurdity of that Israeli claim, as the occupation forceswould be unable to deny that the movement rejecting the Israeli presence in the Golan is expanding day after day, spreading like a wildfire.

Evidently, they are incapable of denying because on ground facts refute their claims, and world public opinion has seen the Golani people amount of persistence in defending their belonging to their motherland Syria. That same persistence is leading them to reject every Israeli partial law seeking to cut the umbilical cord that connects the Golan to Syria, such as what happened when the Israeli authorities forced them to carry the Israeli identity. They burst out of ground as raging volcanoes, declaring their adherence to the Syrian Arab identity. Even the Zionist oppressive machine with all its force and horridness, was unable to do anything and resultantly withdrew before their ferocity and grandeur.

The incident of the Golani volcano rebellion had at the time a big echo in media equivalent to our people fortitude; despite the Israeli media trial to black it out. Regardless of the Zionist media impact magnitude and the extent of its control over numerous television channels and radio stations, which bless and back this usurper entity; yet, this effect did not prevent the truth from surging out. That day the whole world knew that there is a people under occupation that does not accept humiliation and will continue to struggle to bring back freedom.

Those are our steadfast people who do not soften in front of the occupier. Once again we shake those tawny hands that have been put in the plow, strewing the seeds of firmness andstruggling until achieving victory and freedom.
