The concept of Greater Israel comes from Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism. In Herzl’s words Greater Israel is a Jewish State consisting  of the territory from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River in Iraq, a much larger area than Palestine out of which Zionists have created Israel. Zionists believe that the complete absorption of Palestine into Israel is merely the beginning, not the end, of the creation of the Zionist Judenstaat.

Herzl was not a multiculturalist. He did not believe that Jews could be assimilated into countries with Christian cultures. He advocated for a Jewish homeland that would recall the Jewish diaspora to a Jewish country. Palestine happened to be a British protectorate which the British “protected” by turning the lands and inhabitants over to the Zionists to be made into a new country known as Israel.

The current Israeli absorption of Gaza and the remaining fragments of the Palestinian West Bank do not signify the completion of the Zionist State of Israel. In Herzl’s description of Greater Israel, Egypt east of the Nile, Iraq west of the Euphrates, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon are part of the Zionist state in the making.

Map and composition of Greater Israel

.

In the past year Israeli government ministers have held up maps in front of TV cameras showing an expansion of Greater Israel from the Nile to Pakistan, which includes the entirety of Saudi Arabia. 

What the Muslim world, not just the Arabs whom Israel and its US ally have defeated, but also Iran, Turkey and perhaps Pakistan do not understand is that they, also, are targeted for termination. Last February former Israeli prime minister Bennett was in the US to speak to the annual meeting of the Israel Lobby that pretty much rules America. Bennett told the Israel Lobby that “Turkey is the next Iran.” In other words, get busy demonizing Turkey so the dumbshit American population will see Turkey as the new enemy replacing Iran which Bennett thought was about to be defeated and removed as a constraint on Greater Israel.

Bennett was premature. Iran did not collapse, and might not. But Turkey and Saudi Arabia, if they are capable of paying attention, have been warned. If Washington and Israel have been stymied by Iran, what are the Zionists’ chances against Turkey, and Saudi Arabia? The fact that the agenda of Greater Israel is unrealistic does not deter Zionists. In the Middle East only Israel has a long-term agenda.

In the talks about peace there is never mention of the Zionist Agenda of Greater Israel. Not even the Iranian government has asked why Israel has a right to the entire territory of the Middle East. It is as if the Iranians, Turks, Saudis have never heard of the Zionist agenda of Greater Israel.  

It is often the case that countries, like people, ignore what they don’t want to have to deal with. If that is the case, then other Muslim countries will join Palestine in their demise.
