#1 One of the few criticisms of Israel that actually has some merit. The Golan Heights were originally captured in some of the toughest fighting of the '67 war. They are vital to Israel's military security because they command the approach from Syria. They are also the only significant source of natural fresh water for most of Israel. This was true even before the '67 war, but when Syria held them the risk was always that Syria would 'steal' all the water from them (by now they probably would have.) International law would not even try to protect Israeli rights so Israel ignores such law when it goes the other way.

#6 The fortunes of war. Perhaps Syria will think harder before starting their next war.
