    Their farcical claim has been pretty visible for a while now: they need not only the land they consider sacred and theirs but also a security buffer around it. If pressed, they will explain how a security buffer is not just an arbitrary distance of land but possession of key surrounding geographic positions. And that requires them to go all the way to THIS map.

    Their acquisition of the Golan Heights set the template for this. Israel used to enjoy saying that they never started any of the conflicts, but even then they would admit that they annexed the Golan proactively because of its strategic positioning and key water sources in the area.

    Clearly they won’t be talking about how they never started any of the conflicts anymore. They think they have more to gain than lose by letting that claim go.

      Okay, well in that case all their neighbors need a security buffer too, which includes the key geographic position of their entire country.

      See how easy it is to make bullshit claims when you’re a fucking sociopathic narcissist who doesn’t understand or care that other people’s needs are just as valid as your own, and that you can’t just take things that aren’t yours just because you want it?

      Children understand this, but apparently the knesset doesn’t. It would be pathetic if it wasn’t so close to getting the entire world blown up…
