When people refer to “Greater Israel,” they usually mean the concept of expanding colonial control to encompass what Zionists call Eretz Yisrael.
This is the territory that stretches between the Nile and Euphrates rivers, covering all of Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, and portions of Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and Egypt.
Some interpretations even extend it to a small part of Turkey.
In The Complete Diaries, Vol. II, p. 711, Theodor Herzl, the founder of the political Zionism project, writes that the territory of the so-called “Jewish state” would extend “from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates.”
Similarly, Rabbi Fischmann, a member of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared in his testimony before the UN Special Committee of Enquiry on July 9, 1947, that “the Promised Land extends from the River of Egypt up to the Euphrates; it includes parts of Syria and Lebanon.”
This idea resurfaced in the 1980s with the publication of the so-called Yinon Plan.
The document, originally written in Hebrew by Oded Yinon, was translated into English in 1982 by the anti-Zionist activist Israel Shahak.
In his foreword, Shahak writes: “In a highly revealing article published in the World Zionist Organization periodical Kivunim, Oded Yinon advocates that Israeli strategy in the 1980s aims to redraw the map of the Middle East, fragment the Arab states, and become, in effect, a regional superpower.” (more...)
