Amidst the Syrian people's jubilation and relief at the removal of a tyrant, the Israeli state has moved swiftly to cement their illegitimate occupation of Syrian land. The Palestinian people have written themselves into history with the blood of their martyrs, and any possible excuses for "not knowing" about the Zionistoccupation of Palestine have evaporated forever. However, many are not aware of a lesser-known occupied land: the Golan Heights, or al-Jawlan, of Syria.
Flag's two blue lines: Nile and Euphrates.
For those who have lived in the region, or followed the Palestinian cause over many years, this comes as no surprise, for this is the essence of the “Greater Israel” project. Indeed, the two blue lines on their flag represent the Nile in Egypt and the Euphrates in Iraq, revealing the sheer extent of the land they hope to one day steal from the indigenous populations. This plan is as old as the Israeli state itself (so not that old), and an essential context to understanding why it acts in such a belligerent and barbaric manner.
For proponents of Zionism, the Israeli state is not, as any fair observer would conclude, constantly invading every nation it borders, but rather attempting to subsume land it sees as its own.[3]
