Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And it will keep extending! See "greater israel", they want everything from the Nile to the Euphrates.

They think that the entire region is theirs (including parts of Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq), as they are the "chosen people". Israel is doing exactly what it was created for by US/UK.

Why would they stop there?

Because that’s as far as Solomon ever expanded the borders.

This isn’t about land volume; it’s about specific access to specific land.

And that goes for the Palestinians too — they have olive groves that have been in the family for hundreds of years; their traditions and connection is to Palestine, not a specific volume of land.

Even the Christian and Jewish Zionists — they need control of specific land areas that are specified in the prophecies, with the goal of global annihilation and the building of the new Jerusalem in that particular physical location.

These three goals aren’t compatible with each other.

I seriously doubt that's the real reason for those making the decisions. It's just an easy explanation, and they'll come up with other excuses when they keep expanding their borders.
