The map of “Greater Israel” as laid out by Theodor Hertzl.
Looks a lot like a list of all the countries Israel has been picking a fight with recently, huh?
I wonder why??
Looks to me like they’re juet vaguely aiming for the “greener” parts of Saudi Arabia, where there happen to be 3 national parks, and avoiding the desert-only bits which they can’t be bothered trying to manage (see: Dune)
There is something very satisfying to me about the borders but i think that’s just because they chose rivers as boundaries AND added in that sharp geometric line
Nope. This map, according to the www.middleeasteye.net/…/what-greater-israel it comes from, is constructed (incorrectly) based on a biblical reference (Gen 15:18). Herzl references it in his diary as part of a conversation brought up by someone else.
Herzl himself famously refused to define such borders.
amazing how these articles seem to start history in 1948 isn’t it?
how peculiar. like nothing happened before then
i wonder why
