Why questions are being raised over the 'Greater Israel' ideology | The Stream

Recent military escalations in Gaza and southern Lebanon, combined with provocative rhetoric from Israeli officials, suggest that the controversial idea of "Greater Israel" is gaining traction among Israel's hard-right factions.

Key figures in the Netanyahu government are framing neighbouring states as mere "entities," hinting at shifting territorial ambitions. As far-right ideologies resurface, the implications for Israel and its neighbours become increasingly critical.

Israel having a right to defend itself means Israel has a right to take whatever land they claim God promised them while killing their way to that goal. Ironically, anyone who gets in the way of their terrorism is labeled a terrorist.

The truth allways comes out... Something in my head keeps taking me back to the huge explosion a few years ago at the port in Beirut, when I heard the owner of the confiscated fertilizer had abandon it, I was surprised someone would give up that kind of money and I remember the owners name sounded Jewish. I wonder if there was an investigation carried out?
