You seem confused. I am talking about Japan.
no I got it. I assume you were being sarcastic. My response is that the US (and all other countries) seem to pick and choose when a display of moral superiority is appropriate and when it is just inconvenient

I wouldn't call returning land after being attacked moral superiority. Maybe stupidity

FTFY

The Golan Heights were annexed (in the early 80s IINM) because there was virtual unanimous agreement that it is a vital strategic asset for security.

Parts of Jerusalem captured from the Jordanians (which BTW later on relinquished all claims) for both political and security reasons.

That hasn't happened with other territories captured in 1967 (from whom?) because there isn't unanimous agreement (mostly due to population concerns, rather than territorial concerns) on whether it's more secure to annex and keep indefinitely, or relinquish and disengage.

In hindsight everyone agrees. Through the 90s it was hotly disputed. Remember the העם עם הגולן bumper stickers?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golan_Heights_Law

The law was passed in 1981, prior to the final withdrawal from the Sinai. While you always have politicians and others who are hallucinating, military experts see the strategic reality and threats. The geography and topography of the Golan Heights, just make it too essential of an asset to be able to give away to uncertainty, even with some international assurances (especially with experience in Lebanon showing what those might be worth).
