The Arab enemies of Israel have been repeating for decades that Zionists wish to conquer the central Middle East, more specifically from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River in Iraq. I reviewed this subject in depth in 1994 in "Imperial Israel: The Nile-to-Euphrates Calumny" and will note here when it this conspiracy theory notably reappears.

I'll start with research done by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook of Palestinian Media Watch at "From the Nile to the Euphrates - PA continuous libel (1997 -2007) about secret plan to conquer Arab nation," which presents nearly two dozen instances of this theme in the Palestinian media over the past decade.
