    It is often understood as a vision of territorial expansion to encompass Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan, along with significant parts of Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

    When ideas like this are popular, no wonder Israel is not much loved in the region. Even apart from the constant violence abroad and genocide at home.

    The Lebanese people are getting sick of Hezbollah, which has again launched hundreds of missles and drones into Israel, forcing this response. Hezbollah is afraid of losing its golden parachute from Iran.

      Not excusing anything the Iranian regime has done but maybe committing war crimes in the West Bank, Gaza, and other places also doesn’t endear you to folks around you, especially when your entire country is centered on literally taking land from those around you since its inception?

      But yeah, Israel is ‘forced’ to do anything.
