Both the pro-Palestinians and pro-Syrians have some erroneous belief that the descriptor of "settlers" is some sort of bad or evil word. It is not. It all "settler" means it someone who "migrated to an area with the intent to established a permanent residence. It has no connotation as to good or evil --- legal or illegal.
It is important to remember, that from the standpoint of the 1949 Armistice, the Syria never pursued a Peace Treaty Arrangement. Technically, while a ceasefire was in place, Israel and Syria were still at War from 1948. In April 1967, Syria broke the ceasefire with a Syrian
MiG air battle --- re-opening hostilities.

Prior to the start of the war, attacks conducted against Israel by fledgling Palestinian guerrilla groups based in Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan had increased, leading to costly Israeli reprisals. In November 1966 an Israeli strike on the village of Al-Samūʿ in the Jordanian West Bank left 18 dead and 54 wounded, and, during an air battle with Syria in April 1967, the Israeli Air Force shot down six Syrian MiG fighter jets. In addition, Soviet intelligence reports in May indicated that Israel was planning a campaign against Syria, and, although inaccurate, the information further heightened tensions between Israel and its Arab neighbours.

So you admit that Ass*ad have contacts with zionazis!
Offering the Golan in couterpart of helping end the revolution!
If the terrorists have no place to hide on the borders and get no supplies your "revolution´s" days are numbered.
What's about the settlers of the Golan?
The Golan was annexed by Israel in 1981 (I was there at the time). So the Israelis who live there are citizens of Israel and not settlers.
(COMMENT)
Oddly enough...
Encyclopedia Britannica said:
On the last two days (June 9–10, 1967) of the
Six-Day War, the Israeli armed forces, after defeating Egypt and Jordan, turned their attention to Syria. Under cover of the Israel Air Force, engineer troops built access roads up the steep Golan Heights, which were then frontally assaulted by armoured vehicles and infantry. The Syrian defenders and most of the Arab inhabitants fled, and Syria asked for an armistice; fighting ceased on June 10. The heights were placed under Israeli military administration, and Golan was integrated into the communications and financial framework of Israel. By the late 1970s nearly 30 Jewish settlements had been established on the heights, and in 1981 Israel unilaterally annexed the area.

Egypt and Syria cried like babies for Soviet help as they lost ever more forces. Damascus within range of the IDF and the Egyptian 3d Army 100,000 killed, captured or encircled.
In October 1973, both Syria and Egypt launched a coordinated attack (The Yom Kipper War) Again, this reopened the 1948 War --- breaking the Armistice Arrangements. Both the US and USSR opened emergency supply lines into their respective areas of interest. The USSR was not interested in Peace Talks so long as the Arab had the upper hand in the conflict. And the Arabs gained the initial advantage supported by the 1973 Oil Embargo. But the on the Syrian Front, the IDF eventually recovered from the surprise attack and rolled within artillery range of Damascus. The Soviets were deathly afraid and made a panic gesture -- threatening to open a nuclear conflict if the IDF did not back-off (the current reason for the Israelis to maintain the status quo on the Non-Proliferations Treaty (NPT). The IDF withdrew to the Golan Heights parameter. Similarly, the IDF, surround the Egyptian 3 Army and cutting them off from supplies, the USSR again threatened to open a nuclear conflict if the IDF did attempted to destroy the Egyptian Army.
