After "Greater Israel," Netanyahu calls for a "Super-Sparta" and "finishing the job in Gaza"

Benyamin Netanyahu’s drift from avowed conservatism to Nazism is increasingly evident. After claiming the "historical and spiritual" mission of achieving a "Greater Israel," that is, conquering the territories of its seven neighbors, he has just called for transforming Israel into a "super-Sparta," that is, militarizing the state and ceasing all trade with its allies. If words have any meaning, he constantly makes us understand that his references are the fascists Vladimir Jabotinsky and Leo Strauss. From one drift to another, he engaged in a shameless act of lying before the United Nations General Assembly, attributing dark thoughts to his adversaries and claiming the right to continue massacring.

This announcement, made exclusively in Hebrew, that is, for the sole use of his fellow Israelis, drew strong criticism from all Arab leaders, even reaching the United Nations Security Council on September 23. Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf declared that "the Israeli occupation compromises any prospect of creating an independent and sovereign Palestinian state, not only on the ground but also in people’s minds." Fueled by the myth of "Greater Israel," the Israeli government seeks to redefine the region’s borders and extend its hegemony in defiance of international law and the norms governing peaceful coexistence between states; a statement echoed by the Russian Permanent Representative.
