9. Israel has as much or as little claim as Syria - seems we agree -eh?
Or do I detect a preference for forcing Israel to pretend it did not win the 73 war, along with a preference for saying that the Jewish State of Israel is wrong to assert claims to the area, beginning with but not limited to the Golan, as long as it remains a Jewish State? Bet you like right of return - not for the Jews back to Baghdad where they were once 40% of the population, or for the 2 million or so "Eastern Greeks that were tossed from Turkey, Lebanon and Syria in the 1920's event called the "population exchange" - or for the like number of Armenians at that time - or for the current Exodus/murder of Christians in places like the Sudan - but certainly for the Arabs that moved from Jordan in the 1930's to take the new jobs being providing at that time by Jews in the that Western area, a former mostly uninhabited desert area, that is now Israel.

or perhaps I misunderstood your use of the word "fluff", because if you did not mean for "fluff" to be taken as a put down, then the tone of the above response is much too harsh.
