I dunno. Without population transfer, annexation creates a swiss cheese territory full of hostile holes. And population transfer is not going to happen.
Before anyone asks me what my solutions is, let me say, “I don’t have one.”
I am fully supportive of Israel reclaiming all lands between the river in Egypt to the Euphrates as God provided Abraham. Note, I did not use the word annex.
The Arabs of the area have lost their right to complain.
They could have had complete peace with Israel any number of times since 1948. Instead their leaders preferred, at every step, to keep fighting the wars they kept losing. What is a nation to do when war is all its neighbor wants? It needs to secure its own peace with the land itself.
“I am fully supportive of Israel reclaiming all lands between the river in Egypt to the Euphrates as God provided Abraham.”
And letting everyone who lives in that area have a vote?
Europe’s say in what Israel does was completely neutralized by events of 80 years ago, and by their welcoming and allowing themselves to be taken over by muzzlimes. Israel is a sovereign country and they have the right to do as they wish within their country. If they need to annex certain areas formerly allowing arabs to live there due to arabs using those areas as staging areas for violence against Israelis, it is only common sense to kick them out and retake the land. Screw commie Europe and their muzzlime masters.
Obviously not. And in no way am I suggesting that Muslims currently living there will be there.
“What would happen if the Palestinian National Authority collapsed? There would be more chaos and extremism in the region.”
How would we be able to tell?
L
I would have no problem with Israel expanding east to the Indian border and west clear to Morocco and from the Black Sea in the north to the Arabian Sea in the south. No, I’m not joking.
I imagine Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia would want a say in that matter.
Where will they be?
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”
Dead or they become refugees. You don’t think they won’t put up a fight.
LOL
As if they have a vote now!
What would we do with such an empire?
“What would we do with such an empire?”
He hasn’t actually thought it through that far.
I'm sure they will. You're talking upwards of 170 million people. You think maybe Israel would be biting off a little more than they could chew?
...a senior official at the European Union (EU) has warned that Individual member-states within the EU are already looking to apply sanction against Israel should Israel annex the Jordan Valley. The EU requires full consensus among its 27 members in adopting foreign policy measures. Austria and Hungary have blocked a call by Luxembourg and Ireland to consider an Israel annexation of the Jordan Valley a ‘violation of international law’ as defined by the United Nations (UN). The anti-Israel bloc at the EU believes that Israel’s intended action is comparable to Russia’s annexation of Crimea. But, while Crimea was part of the sovereign nation state of Ukraine, Palestine is not a recognized state by the UN.
EU nations who vote in favor of such sanctions, even if the sanctions fail, should have identical sanctions laid on them. Thanks SJackson.
Jews have never claimed such an expanse. It is figurative language about Eretz Yisrael being between the two major empires.
The borders claimed are roughly the land of Canaan, as in Genesis chapters 10, 14, 17, etc.
