I don’t believe in the Greater Israel Project and I rank it up there with China’s idea of owning China’s Nine Dash Line idea to justify owning the entire South China Sea. Russia’s thoughts of Ukraine being their’s as well is another example of these ideas and their consequences.
Greater Israel though is the least likely of the three to happen because of just plan numbers. Throw in the geography and it is entirely pointless. Fanatics though will always keep the idea around and get people to comment on it like we are seeing now. This idea has been around for over 100 years now.
The Greater Israel project that seems to be growing in popularity within Israel is annexing Gaza and the West Bank but even that is something I don’t agree with.
'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.'
I had never heard of the Greater Israel Project until a few weeks ago - and when you first hear it it seems like some totally insane conspiracy theory, yet there are those who take biblical texts as literal truths and there is clearly support for the idea from the very top of Israels political establishment. With the support of the US military that is evident in the current US/Israeli- Iran conflict, the concept becomes actually a terrifying and apocalyptic explanation for the Gaza genocide and the wider conflict...in fact the entire process of Israeli land grabs since 1936.
Russia has been advancing its claim on Ukraine and China is building a Navy and broader military amid an increasing breakdown of international law and respect for established territorial boundaries.
The US Israeli invasion is widely agreed to be just as much a breach of international law as Putins invasion of Ukraine.
The Greater Israel Project fits into this dystopian new world order where might is right and religious extremists and autocratic war criminals dominate.
USA and Trump are participating in this if not leading it.
Have you watched the movie 'Palestine 36' yet @Cje95 ?
And what do you think of The Greater Israel Project?
Have you even heard of it?
