The oraprosiria blog reported an interesting article to better understand the background of the war on Syria.
'Greater Israel': the war on Syria as part of the process of Israeli territorial expansion.
The following document relating to the training of “Greater Israel” constitutes the cornerstone of powerful Zionist factions within the current Netanyahu government, of the Likud party, as well as within the Israeli military and intelligence establishment .
President Donald Trump has bluntly confirmed his support for Israel's illegal settlements (including his opposition to the resolution 2334 of the United Nations Security Council, relating to the illegality of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank). Furthermore, moving the US embassy to Jerusalem and allowing the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied territories and beyond, the president of the United States provided de facto approval of the project “Greater Israel” (Greater Israel) as formulated under the Yinon Plan.
Keep in mind: this project is not strictly a Zionist project for the Middle East, it is an integral part of United States foreign policy, that is, Washington's intent to fracture and balkanize the Middle East. Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital is aimed at sparking political instability across the region.
According to the founding father of Zionism Theodore Herzl, “the area of the Jewish state extends: “From the stream of Egypt to the Euphrates". According to Rabbi Fischmann, “The Promised Land extends from the river of Egypt (the Nile) up to the Euphrates, including parts of Syria and Lebanon”.
Seen in the current context, including the siege on Gaza, the Zionist Plan for the Middle East has a close relationship with the invasion of Iraq 2003, the Lebanon war 2006, the war in Libya 2011, the ongoing wars in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, not to mention the political crisis in Saudi Arabia.
The project “Greater Israel” consists of weakening and ultimately fracturing neighboring Arab states as part of an Israeli-US expansionist project, with the support of NATO and Saudi Arabia. About this, the rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Israel is from Netanyahu's point of view a means to expand Israel's spheres of influence in the Middle East and confront Iran. Needless to say, the project “Greater Israel” it is consistent with the American imperial design.
“Greater Israel” It consists of an area that extends from the Nile Valley to the Euphrates. According to Stephen Lendman: “A century ago, the World Zionist Organization's plan for a Jewish state included:
• Historic Palestine;
• Southern Lebanon up to Sidon and the Litani River;
• The Golan Heights in Syria, the plain of Hauran and Deraa; e
• control of the Hijaz railway from Deraa to Amman, Jordan and the Gulf of Aqaba.
Some Zionists wanted more – land from the Nile in the West to the Euphrates in the East, including Palestine, Lebanon, Western Syria and southern Türkiye “.
The Zionist project supports the Jewish settlement movement. More generally, it is a policy of exclusion of Palestinians from Palestine, leading to the eventual annexation of the West Bank and Gaza to the State of Israel..
Greater Israel would create a number of proxy states. Which would include parts of Lebanon, of Jordan, of Syria, of Sinai, as well as parts of Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
According to Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya in a Global Research article from 2011, [Prepare the board for it “clash of civilisations”: split, conquer and dominate the “new Middle East”] the Yinon Plan was a continuation of the British colonial project in the Middle East:
“[The Yinon Plan] it is an Israeli strategic plan to ensure Israeli regional superiority. Insists and asserts that Israel must reconfigure its geopolitical environment through the balkanization of surrounding Arab states into smaller, weaker states. Israeli strategists viewed Iraq as their greatest strategic challenge from an Arab state. This is why Iraq has been profiled as the hub of the balkanization of the Middle East and the Arab world. In Iraq, based on the concepts of the Yinon Plan, Israeli strategists have called for the division of Iraq into a Kurdish state and two Arab states, one for Shia Muslims and the other for Sunni Muslims. The first step towards creating this was the war between Iraq and Iran, that the Yinon Plan studies. The Atlantic, In the 2008, and the United States Army Armed Forces Journal, In the 2006, they both published widely circulated maps that closely followed the lines of the Yinon Plan. Except for a divided Iraq, which the Biden Plan also requires, the Yinon Plan involves the division of Lebanon, Egypt and Syria. Also the partition of Iran, Türkiye, Somalia and Pakistan follows in line with this vision. The Yinon Plan also envisages the disintegration of North Africa and prefigures it starting from Egypt and then flowing into Sudan, in Libya and the rest of the region.”
The “Greater Israel “it requires the breakup of existing Arab states into small states.
“The plan operates on two essential premises. To survive, Israel must 1st) become an imperial and 2nd regional power) must effect the division of the entire area into small states through the dissolution of all existing Arab states. How small, it will depend on the ethnic or sectarian composition of each state. Consequentially, the Zionist hope is that states based on sectarianism will become satellites of Israel and, irony of fate, its source of moral legitimacy… This is not a new idea, nor does it emerge for the first time in Zionist strategic thinking. Effectively, Fragmenting all Arab states into smaller units has been a recurring theme. “(Piano Yinon, or see HERE the original version edited by Israel Shahak).
Viewed in this context, the war on Syria and Iraq are part of the process of Israeli territorial expansion.
About this, the defeat of US-sponsored terrorists (ISIS, Al Nusra) by Syrian forces with Russian support, Iran and Hezbollah constitutes a significant setback for Israel.
