The 'Greater Israel' project proposes that military aggression is justified to achieve the allegedly God given boundaries of the state of Israel.
'Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has suggested that Israel is destined to expand to include Jordan, and even beyond, to parts of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and even Iraq.
In a documentary film by Arte in 2024, Smotrich said “it is written that the future of Jerusalem is to expand to Damascus.
This view has support in some parts of Israeli society. Israel’s incursions into Jordan and Syria has intensified international concerns that some actors in Israel are pursuing expansion into other countries...
In August 2025, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an interview with Israeli TV channel i24News that he was on a "historic and spiritual mission" and that he is "very" attached to the vision of Greater Israel, which includes Palestinian areas and possibly also places that are part of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon.'
Trump needs to go.
He is a war criminal puppet to Genocidal Zionist Zealots.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
The struggle and contest for power wealth and status is unavoidable, but the way Trump and Israel are playing the game is immoral and does not IMO even serve their own people ultimately...let alone the victims of their murderous genocidal campaign.
The truth about Israels 'Greater Israel Project' is something everyone needs to be aware of and able to discuss and consider if this murder is to stop.
Somebody out there really does not want this issue discussed here on Stacker News!
Most downzapped post of the month!?!

I actually like how @SN works, you can do that but you need to heavily spend sats, and as the info is open, we can see that it's heavily downzapped and imo that's the best promo for your posts!

Israels Greater Israel Strategy
I’ve been tracking this pattern from both sides, not just Israeli politics, but also how similar prophecy language is showing up in U.S. rhetoric.
On the Israel side:
#1457076
On the U.S. side:
#1451070
#1448334
The common thread isn’t any one quote or clip.
It’s how messianic / end-times framing moves from fringe belief → political language → proximity to state power.
That shift matters more than any single headline.
This is exactly the pattern, especially around Israel.
A lot of Christians are taught that Jewish prophecy still needs to be fulfilled, and that we should support whoever supports Israel.
I left a mainstream, evangelical church the Sunday that got tied to political alignment.
He said both parts out loud:
That’s the mechanism:
prophecy → politics → policy alignment.
Right on cue.
This is what happens when prophecy becomes political vocabulary.
It starts with:
support Israel because prophecy still needs to be fulfilled.
It ends with leaders talking like military escalation is part of a sacred script:
Same pattern.
Now wearing state power.
This is the area of land Greater Israeli supporter believe is theirs to take.
@Cje95 - thoughts?
The worst part is, they're very insidious. It's very difficult to tell who is Jewish and who isn't. They're all over the world.
Apparently it's not just some support, there's widespread support for this "greater Israel" project.
Maybe not as much recently, as they've been getting pounded.
The idea of “Greater Israel,” especially when tied to military expansion and religious justification, is deeply controversial and dangerous. While figures like Bezalel Smotrich and Benjamin Netanyahu have expressed views that some interpret as supportive of broader territorial ambitions, pursuing such a vision through force would violate international law and risk escalating conflict across the region. In a modern global context, expansionism framed as a divine mandate is likely to intensify instability rather than bring security or peace, and it raises serious ethical and geopolitical concerns.
