We are planning to add lots of material about the Israeli-occupied #Syria'n #Golan to our website. But in the meantime, we urge everyone to follow @GolanMarsad, the premier human-rights organization based in Golan. >
> Too many people in the "West" hear about #Golan only from the Israeli POV, & think of "Golan" as only a mountain ridge with mainly "strategic" importance. But it also has a population of #Syria'n citizens there who've been living uner military occupation for 52 yrs, AND >
> a population of > 500,000 rightful #Golan residents, ethnically cleansed to elsewhere in Syria in 1967. The human rights aspects of Israel's occupn of #Golan are little known in the "West", but @GolanMarsad has great English-lang resources at golan-marsad.org
