(WMR) -- Israeli expansionists, their intentions to take full control of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and permanently keep the Golan Heights of Syria and expand into southern Lebanon already well known, also have their eyes on parts of Iraq considered part of a biblical “Greater Israel.â€

Wayne Madsen is confusing the valid Israeli interest in the protection of religious shrines and a desire to hold territory as the government of parts of Iraq. In order to be seen in context there are numerous Christian and even Islamic houses of worship and shrines in Israel. It says in the article Iraq and the local Iraqi political forces are supporting the efforts of the Israelis. If the Israelis were competing for power against the Iraqis and Kurds they would not be receiving their help. Israel does not want the maintenance responsibilities or promotion as tourist attractions for non Jewish shrines in Israel. The Iraqis would like the Jews to preserve and bring Jewish tourists to Jewish houses of worship and shrines.
