      Hmmmm, trying to think of another historic figure who wanted to conquer land for living space.

      This isn’t about living space, this is about Netanyahu maintaining his dictatorship through war powers in a forever war. And when he is done with Palestine, he will move on to Syria, Lebanon and Iran.

        I can already smell the whole “expansionism” thing that many empires once did. History repeats itself.

        I simply don’t understand how Israel still isn’t satisfied with the land it already has (the UN recognized territory), why do they need to just gobble up more?

          Like I said, this is not so much about land as it is Netanyahu maintaining a dictatorship through war powers. The “resorts on Gaza’s beaches” thing is a bonus to him, but the main thing is maintaining his power.

          Dictatorship is his main reason for doing things. Just ask his former best friend. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-798324

            So expansionism is a side effect of dictatorship. How the hell did I forget about this?
