73. You're wrong about that

The Golan heights was not 'illegally seized' at all. it was taken legitimately during the 6 day war.

The reason they took it was the Syrians used it's height advantage to bomb Israeli villages, and farms in the lowlands. This went on for 20 years. I'll repeat that: The Syrians used the Golan heights to bomb Israeli civilians for 20 years. Being a elevated area also prevented the Israelis from doing much about these war crimes. They complained at the UN about it but due to a Russian veto, nothing changed .

Then the Six-Day War happened, and the Israelis made a successful attempt to dislodge the Syrians from this protected, strategic location. It was an unexpected victory due to the advantages the Syrians had.

There is absolutely nothing "illegal" about that in any way at all. They were and are, in a formal, declared, mutual, war with the Syrians and Lebanon and a bunch of others.

"In the period between the first Arab–Israeli War and the Six-Day War, the Syrians constantly harassed Israeli border communities by firing artillery shells from their dominant positions on the Golan Heights.[113] In October 1966 Israel brought the matter up before the United Nations. Five nations sponsored a resolution criticizing Syria for its actions but it failed to pass due to a Soviet veto.[114][115]."
