'JEWISH STATE WILL EXTEND FROM JERUSALEM TO DAMASCUS': ISRAELI FINANCE MINISTER
In a new documentary, Bezalel Smotrich says the Zionist goal of conquering parts
of Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia is part of Israeli public
discourse

In a new documentary, Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich detailed his desire to
conquer not only all Palestinian territory to the Jordan River but also the
Syrian capital of Damascus and territories extending as far as Iraq and Saudi
Arabia.
Smotrich, the Finance Minister in the Israeli cabinet and head of the Religious
Zionism party, made the comments in a recently released documentary entitled
Israel: Extremists in Power. The documentary was produced by Arte Reportage, a
Franco-German broadcast news magazine.
When asked about his goal, Smotrich tells the interviewer, “I want a Jewish
state … It is a country run according to the values of the Jewish people.”
Israel currently controls territory from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan
River, including the Palestinian territories in the West Bank, which have been
under Israeli military occupation since 1967.
Israel has been building illegal Jewish settlements on stolen Palestinian land
in the West Bank ever since.
The interviewer then asked Smotrich whether he thought the borders of the Jewish
state should extend past the Jordan River.
Smotrich responded by saying, “Absolutely, but slowly … Our great religious
elders used to say that the future of Jerusalem was to extend as far as
Damascus.”
The documentary narrator then added, “Bezalel Smotrich has a maximalist vision
of the promised land. And it includes all Palestinian lands, but also
territories in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt. Even in Saudi Arabia. A
radical vision admittedly, but one that is accepted in public debate in Israel.”
Since the beginning of the Gaza genocide in October 2023, many Israeli soldiers,
media personalities, and politicians have made it clear they are fighting to
conquer the enclave for the sake of building Jewish settlements there.
They say that Gaza must be destroyed and the 2.3 million Palestinian inhabitants
of the strip forcibly expelled, whether to Egypt by land or Europe by boat, to
allow for Jewish settlement.
The ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in northern Gaza is now underway, according
to the so-called “general’s plan.”
Some soldiers make clear the additional goal of conquering Arab territory as far
as Syria and Iraq as well by the patches they wear on their uniforms.
Many in Israeli society also look forward to conquering southern Lebanon and
bulding Jewish settlements there. On 25 September, the Movement for Settlement
in Southern Lebanon published a map with “the new Hebrew names for the
settlements of Southern Lebanon,” based on the current names of the Lebanese
towns and villages.
Jewish Currents reports that in the movement's worldview, “the Israeli
settlement of southern Lebanon will begin with a war with Hezbollah – which they
view not as a last resort barring a diplomatic solution, but as the only
reasonable path forward.”
Political analyst James Dorsey notes that the movement claims a Biblical
justification for the conquest of Lebanon in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 3,
verse 25. As Moses appeals to God to allow him to enter the Promised Land, he
asks, “Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan – that fine hill
country and Lebanon.”

No --- this finance minister is a swindler racist. He has zero say. Israel is
fortunate it is allowed to breathe. They are NOT expanding the "jewish state."
He just likes to hear himself talk. Do not listen to morons. Israel is a
geography. Not a religion. Same like IRAN is Shia Muslim. But they do not blow
your house up if you practive Christianity or something else. Israel will learn
this the hard way --- American tax payers like me in FLORIDA -- do not want
anymore sad 1930s Germany stories ... we are NOT financing this idiot talking
about expanding his "jewish state." No one gives a s&it about the jewish
religion. No one HATES judeo christians... people get MAD when jewish persons
THINK they are a race and DESERVE land in west Asia. VERY few people -- deny or
hate Moses or Abraham or Jacob. It is just a BS excuse to cry for LAND /
resources in west asia by this imbecile finance minister. Syria Turkey Lebanon
Iran Iraq Saudis --- even possibly Egypt --- Libya, THEY are Arabs from West
Asia. They are not up for "jewish states expanding on the US dime. This finance
minister, should open a car wash and retire from politics. Corey Weiner from
Florida P.S. Pepe Escobar is greatest journalist .... We love him in US

The Zionists suicide of Israel began decades ago, but after October 7th it has
come into full effect. The entire illegal squatter filth that desecrates
Palestine will be removed by force. Now it is only a question of when and how
soon...No empathy for these genocidal terrorists...

How this man doesn't fear for his life every time he leaves the house is a
mystery to me, this disgusting person should be afraid of his own shadow, these
so called terrorists are a disappointment
