there were allowed back and if they didn't want to return to Syria. As it is now, there are around 500 000 people waiting to return, and it won't happen until Israel gives the Golan Heights back to Syria.

Israel is committing a humanitarian injustice, and I feel that the primary motivation for not giving the Golan Heights back is pure greed.
