The initiative to demand that Israel take the Golan Heights did not come from real estate-seekers who wanted to move their homes and farms to the Golan, nor did it come from people who wanted to fulfill any kind of religious or national vision to settle yet another part of the land of Israel.
Rather, the move to conquer the Golan came from resident farmers of the Upper Galilee, organized by the regional Mayor of the Upper Galilee, Yaakov (Yankela) Eshkoli*, the man who galvanized a delegation of Upper Galilee residents to lobby Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol and the Israeli government on the fourth night of the Six Day War.
Mr. Eshkoli’s mission: to convince Mr. Eshkol to issue an order to the Israel Defense Forces Northern regional command to take the Golan Heights and to remove the Syrian threat, once and for all, from over the heads of the Galilee settlements.
That left Syria, which had been raining a steady stream of rockets into the Hula Valley below, leaving the residents of 31 settlements in the Upper Galilee region in Mr. Eshkoli’s jurisdiction to spend those glorious days of 1967 in deep, underground bunkers, glued to their transistor radios.
Mr. Eshkoli recalled how he placed constant calls into Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Yigal Allon from his underground bunker on the kibbutz to ask to see Levi Eshkol, then Israel’s prime minister, to demand action on the Syrian front.
His appeal was simple and clear, when he reminded Mr. Eshkol that he and every Israeli leader who had ever come to visit him in the Galilee after Syrian rocket attacks had promised them that, if there would ever be another war, they would use that opportunity to remove the Syrian threat, once and for all.
Mr. Eshkoli reported that one Israeli minister opposed the idea: Moshe Dayan, the former Israeli commander in chief who had just been appointed to be defense minister. Mr. Dayan had given the veto to his Northern regional commander, “Dado” Elazar, whom he forbade to attack Syria on the Golan, “lest this cost us 30,000 dead and risk a war with the Soviet Union,” which had just pushed through a cease-fire in the U.N. Security Council. Mr. Dayan, the war hero from the 1956 war with tremendous popular following, also made a great impression on the cabinet.
Mr. Eshkoli recalls that he then thought to himself: “Will I be responsible for world war,” and then said that “I could only think of my wife and the children of the kibbutz, who at that moment were in the shelters.” It was then that Mr. Eshkoli made a threat, which he said that he meant with all his heart, which was that if the IDF does not remove the Syrians from the Golan, then he would recommend that all kibbutzim pack their bags and leave, and that the people of Kiryat Shmoneh would follow. Silence followed Mr. Eshkoli’s emotional appeal to the Israeli cabinet.
Indeed, Mr. Dayan’s vote in the government was the lone voice in the government to vote against the Golan attack….
Mr. Dayan never forgave Mr. Eshkoli for besting him at the government meeting.
Indeed, Mr. Eshkoli showed this reporter a yellowing news interview from 1976 with Moshe Dayan with the Israeli daily newspaper Yediot Aharonot, where Moshe Dayan could only recall Mr. Eshkoli and his delegation with anger and resentment, characterizing them as “Dado”‘s agents, claiming that, anyway, “the provocations of the Galilee farmers and fishermen in no-man’s land were the cause of the Syrian shellings.”
Mr. Eshkoli looks at the picture of Moshe Dayan and starts to yell at him: “Right – All of my 31 communities provoked the Syrians from their shelters. Our provocation against the Syrians is that we live and prosper here in the Galilee, which the Syrians see as a province of their country.”
Asked about the current negotiations that might bring the Syrians back to the Golan Heights that face down on his kibbutz, Mr. Eshkoli would only raise a trembling hand and point to the hills and say that to “bring back the Syrians would be suicide for us.”

Doesn't sound like a land hungry expansionist, sounds to me like people who are not secure in their homes.

Jihadis

There is also no excuse for walking up to someone and punching them in the face , but if someone walks up to you and punches you in the face you have every right to strike back.

I have never denied that the Arab Spring and the following "civil war" were destabilization campaigns run out of the Colour Revolution school set up in Serbia by globalists.
Nor did the fact that Israel was openly providing medical care to anti-assad forces escape my notice. It wouldn't surprise me if they were involved right from the start.

What sane country wouldn't take the opportunity to support someone who was attacking not one but two groups who they are currently at war with?

Instead of Hizbullah preparing to launch another attack on Israel they are tied up in the war in Syria.

No excuse for funding and arming terrorists?

Like the PLO?

Funded and armed by Syria, Iran, Qatar, the European Union, USA and the UN.

Like Hizbullah?

Funded and armed by Syria, Iran, Qatar

Like Hamas?

Funded and armed by Syria, Iran, Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood and their US counterparts CAIR and Obama,

That Israel has turned the tables and used the Arab Supremacists tactics against them. This is not only smart but there is also nothing wrong with it.

It's Okay To Be Jewish!

Even if your winning against the people who ethnically cleansed you from the entire middle East. No need to apologize for destroying your enemies, they have been trying to destroy Israel for decades.
