This isn't about living space, this is about Netanyahu maintaining his dictatorship through war powers in a forever war. And when he is done with Palestine, he will move on to Syria, Lebanon and Iran.

I can already smell the whole "expansionism" thing that many empires once did. History repeats itself.

I simply don't understand how Israel still isn't satisfied with the land it already has (the UN recognized territory), why do they need to just gobble up more?

Like I said, this is not so much about land as it is Netanyahu maintaining a dictatorship through war powers. The "resorts on Gaza's beaches" thing is a bonus to him, but the main thing is maintaining his power.

Dictatorship is his main reason for doing things. Just ask his former best friend. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-798324

So expansionism is a side effect of dictatorship. How the hell did I forget about this?
