The Golan heights are Syrias only frontier with Israel - so obviously they would launch any attack from there.
This is wrong on so many levels, where do I start? First of all Syria had no right to launch ANY wars of aggression against Israel (not to mention Syria using the Golan Heights to position artillery to shell Israeli cities and civilians) therefore, whatever strategic springboard they used, they must forfeit. As for Israel, after they routed Syrian forces in the Yom Kipur War, they could've descended from the Golan Heights and taken Damascus, BUT THEY DIDN'T. That's an important distinction between the two sides. Syria uses the Golan for aggression, Israel uses it for defense.
Second of all, since Syria attacked in conjunction with Jordan, they could've met up with Jordanian forces to attack from Jordanian territory, but they didn't because it was easier to attack from the Golan because its perhaps the most strategically important piece of land in the region. This is exactly why Israel would be suicidal to give it up. If Israel gives up the Golan Heights, they will cease to exist as a country in less than a decade.
As for anything else, it's not fucking worth it, why the hell should I teach you about chronologies you refuse to educate yourself on? Why? Tell me why!
Apparently, I'm not the one who needs the education here.
Because everyone is wrong, and you and whatever ultra-conservatist chronies of yours are right? Because you are the only one who know the "unrevised" version of history?
Cool.
So when you're losing an argument, go straight for the ad-hominems, amiright?
