I didn't try to do that. I just think that conflict fueling unrest more than anything else. And it's lot easier to imagine Israel to disappear than to imagine half of Islamic world to disappear.
- selectodude 11y agoI would point fingers more at Iran vs Saudi Arabia vs ISIS than Israel. If Israel fell off the map, nothing would change.

It has very little to do with the biggest conflicts in the Middle East. If Israel weren't around, Syria would still be destabilized and we would still have ISIS. Also, your rhetoric around wiping Israel off the map kind of gives your agenda away.

According to the founding father of Zionism Theodore Herzl, “the area of the Jewish State stretches: “From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates.” According to Rabbi Fischmann, “The Promised Land extends from the River of Egypt up to the Euphrates, it includes parts of Syria and Lebanon.” When viewed in the current context, the war on Iraq, the 2006 war on Lebanon, the 2011 war on Libya, the ongoing war on Syria and Iraq, the war in Yemen, the process of regime change in Egypt, must be understood in relation to the Zionist Plan for the Middle East. The latter consists in weakening and eventually fracturing neighboring Arab states as part of an Israeli expansionist project. The Zionist project supports the Jewish settlement movement. More broadly it involves a policy of excluding Palestinians from Palestine leading to the eventual annexation of both the West Bank and Gaza to the State of Israel. According to Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya in a 2011 Global Research article, The Yinon Plan was a continuation of Britain’s colonial design in the Middle East: “[The Yinon plan] is an Israeli strategic plan to ensure Israeli regional superiority. It insists and stipulates that Israel must reconfigure its geo-political environment through the balkanization of the surrounding Arab states into smaller and weaker states.
- zippoxer 11y ago> According to the founding father of Zionism Theodore Herzl, “the area of the Jewish State stretches: “From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates.” Yeah, it's just that no Israelis want any more areas. Except the extremist ones.
- micron7 11y agoHow much power do the extremists hold in this situation? Usually extremists hold a lot of power due to their outsized impetus.
- vlehto 11y agoMy agenda. :D I got the idea of wiping Israel off the map from PLO "peace suggestion". I'm not going to pick a side in that stuff. I'm just extremely cynical that there would ever be peace.
- morgante 11y agoWhen you pull your rhetoric out of the PLO playbook, you've already chosen a side.
- vlehto 11y agoNot picking a side is not knowing what PLO wants? I really thought that everybody would consider "wiping Israel our of Levant" outright ridiculous idea. I will try to be more specific next time.
- morgante 11y agoNo, picking a side is when you claim that wiping Israel off the map is the only solution.
