2:40AM EDT October 25. 2012 - MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan Heights – It's lunchtime and Shufi Salah's restaurant on the outskirts of this tiny town on the Golan Heights is packed with customers.Although the Golan has been occupied and annexed by Israel since the Six-Day War in 1967, most people here consider themselves Syrians – but that may be changing.Taking a break from dishing up the local favorite of warm pita bread filled with freshly chopped salad, hummus and falafel, Salah says many people here have become Israeli citizens and more are hiring lawyers to do the same."People are unsure of what is going to happen in Syria, and they also want democracy for themselves," he says.
