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”.

For the first time, the Christian religion is in the official subjects of the "tawjihi", the final exam for high school students (12but class). Brother Marwan Di'Des tells it, Franciscan and director of the School of the Holy Land in Bethlehem. In the Palestinian Territories the school year started on 29 August (to the joy of the little ones and the regret of the high school students, Brother Di'Des comments laughing). For the 2018-19, final year Christian students will take an additional subject in the national exam: “Christian education”. The decision is the result of 13 years of debate and work. For the test, the Palestinian Ministry of Education has approved a textbook drawn up with the collaboration of all the churches (“churches”, ndr) in Palestine. In previous years, the exam concerned only Islam, although both religions are obligatory. “The issue is one of social justice: if the Muslim boy can take an official exam, why not the Christian?”, comments between Di'Des. “It is a great result because in the Holy Land we are less than 2%. This absolute minority that manages to have a state exam for their religion is an important success. It is also a sign that the Authority recognizes our pedagogical role."
