First Foreign Tourists in Syria's Quneitra - Golan Heights Vlog

[@pekkasupa2798]

Israel did use the area as a training ground. But to tell the truth, Syria itself bulldozed Quneitra to the state it is in now. I lived there for 16 months in 1991-1992 as a Peacekeeper.

[@Grow77]

yes, that's right, I was stationed there as a UN soldier from 1979, 1980, 1982, 1984/86, 2nd company in Qunaitra pos28 and pos22

With which tourist office did you come to Syria? I wish you always happy travels and that you return to Syria soon

[@kimmomiettunen6805]

I was there 1990-1991 and crossed daily from Syria to Israel and back, my homebase were in Ar Fafid in Syria side

Is Syria allowing US passport holders to visit right now? Or still waiting? Thanks.

[@travellingtheunknown]

Unfortunately US citizens still aren't being issued visas ;( Hopefully that will change soon

[@TBLiov]

Yes somehow it can be managed, Drew Binsky who is Jewish American spent few weeks in Syria 2 years ago.

[@redademe]

@@TBLiov No I was in Syria a couple of months ago, I am a US citizen but had to use another passport I hold to enter the country as US passports are still not good except for Syrian/American dual citizens (they have to show Syrian ID).

nice video

[@guynehemia4029]

You present a very one sided picture of the conflict with Israel

[@lisamarie3797]

I have read and studied countless reports, essay, analyses of the conflict. Israel took Golan to "teach Syria a lesson" and to control natural resources. They didn't care about the thousands of people they killed or displaced in the process, and they still don't care. Israel is evil.

[@daverave7829]

The claim that the South of Syria returned under control of the Syrian state 'in a largely peaceful manner' as part of reconciliation agreements is hilarious. The whole area has seen bitter fighting between different opposition groups and Syrian army, Iranian militias and Russian troups. I guess your tour guide did not inform you what for example happened in Dara'a only one year ago when the Syrian army besieged half of the city. He Mist likely did not talk about the indiscriminate shelling of the residential neighbourhoods to eradicate opposition groups, with a high civilian death toll and starving of civilian population as collateral damage. I guess he did also not inform you that Israel helped evacuate members of the voluntary civilian protection from the approaching Syrian army to save their lifes via Quneitra.

[@travellingtheunknown]

When did I say that the South of Syria returned under a peaceful manner? I only said Quneitra, and there is nothing factually incorrect about that. Regarding Israeli "evacuations" I think you conveniently ignored that militants were evacuated and treated in Israeli hospitals, even sparking protests in the occupied town of Majdal Shams. Anyhow, the video isn't about any of that. It's about Quneitra and how Israel flattened it upon withdrawal in 74. I wonder what Quneitra's ex-residents think of the "moral Israeli army" evacuating civilians.

[@essamolwan539]

It does occupy most of the SYRIAN Golan Heights though.

Golan heights are syrian land! 🇸🇾🇵🇸

[@scottsimon1]

Most of the residents of the Golan Heights are Druze & many have Israeli citizenship and serve in the Israeli army. There are also about 30,000 Israelis living there. Israel annexed the Golan in 1980 & it has been part of Israel for more than twice as long as it was part of Syria.

[@travellingtheunknown]

An interesting note is that Israel offers citizenship to Syrian Druze from the Golan Heights, but few of them have actually accepted it as a percentage of the total population. As such, they remain Syrian citizens, despite being unable to cross the border since 2011

[@s1r_cheese66]

It has been part of Syria since the Roman times and the Syrian citizens of the Golan are forced by the occupation to get citizenship for the zionist dictatorship.

[@TBLiov]

Same like Palestine, Golan Heights is a stolen land, year or 100 it will remain a stolen land, the original owners have the right to get it back in any possible way.

[@KillTheBitch-pk5xo]

I’m a former isr*eli citizen that used to live in the Golan Heights and i can confirm that most of what you said is untrue, currently most of the druzim there don’t have is*aeli citizenship and no one from any of the villages served in the idf (i have many friends from the towns there majdal shams, massadeh, buqata, ein qunia and ghajar), it’s possible for them to get the israeli citizenship though, + it doesn’t matter if it has been a part of syria for less time since the syrian independence than it has been occupied by isr*el, it’s still syrian territory that is occupied, 99% of the countries in the world say so and most of the druze living there, plus i have to add on top of what you said about the isr*eli settlers living there that most of the isr*eli settlers there live in occupied syrian christian/muslim/Circassian towns (there’s still pictures online of Isr**li troops forcing syrians to leave their homes, that led for 500k+ syrians to flee the golan heights and become refugees, many were murdered and most of the towns were destroyed), remember the bloody history and don’t fabricate.

It is not annexed, it is recovered. Golan is a Hebrew name, proof that this area is part of the ancestral land of the Jewish People partially occupied by Muslim Arabs after the end of the Ottoman Empire in 1918.

no, golan is syrian territory and its population is syrian, stop claiming land that doesnt belong to you.

@@UmQasaann Fair enough with the language mistake. But you still prove yourself to be a mor0n by spewing out the same old tired slanderous slogans and false propaganda that Israel bashers regularly use to justify their hatred. Not only are you a mor0n but you are also a bigot. Regardless, Israel is here to stay and there is nothing you can do about it. Bottom line.
