If I were an Israeli, a member of a group of people who've been persecuted for round about 4,000 years, a country surrounded on all sides by enemies decrying the evil of Israel, the last thing I'd do is give up ANY weapon. You don't see Israelis having anti-Palestine marches, do you? I think it's a silly demand given the state of things. If it's for PR, it's for PR. If it's to stall agreeing to any concessions, it will work of course. But, the Syrians, assuming they're smart at all, know it's a demand that simply will not be met -- for reasons fair or unfair.
