What borders?

Israel would be crazy to give up the Golan or Gaza in light of the new democracy, which is the freedom of radicals. Liberals in this country support such because they don't believe in the sovereignty of borders.

The protesters were marking the 44th anniversary of the 1967 Mid-East war.

Several hundred demonstrators - Palestinians and their Syrian supporters - marched to the razor-wired fencing and freshly dug trenches close to the frontier village of Majdal Shams at around noon.

Many carried Palestinian flags and threw rocks and rubbish over the fence.

Israel's military said its soldiers shouted warnings in Arabic and fired warning shots in the air, before aiming at the legs of those who had reached the fence.

After live gunfire failed to disperse the crowds, Israeli troops fired volleys of tear gas over the border. Many people fled while others lay on the ground.

In case you missed it this particular incident is a sideshow to distract from a dictatorship murdering hundreds of people who were calling for democracy.

It is hard to support the soveriegnty of borders in a case where they don't exist.
If however you can show the existance of a border there I will happily believe in your faith on the soveriegnty of borders.

Right,Israeli troops fire on pro-Palestinian protesters on Syria's border in the occupied Golan Heights, with Syrian TV saying 20 are killed.
