Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has finally spoken the unspoken. In a candid interview, he declared himself to be on a “historic and spiritual mission” to conquer the Middle East, expressing a profound connection to the vision of a Greater Israel.
This revelation confirms what many have long suspected: Israel is not simply defending itself—they are hell-bent on annexing their neighbors through wars of aggression funded by the largesse of the United States taxpayer.
For years, anyone warning of Israel’s expansionist ambitions was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist or accused of antisemitism. Netanyahu’s own words now show those warnings were not exaggeration—they were a glimpse of a long-term plan to reshape the Middle East.
The Global War on Terror: A Strategic Deception
The attacks of September 11, 2001, launched the U.S.-led Global War on Terror. Officially framed as a fight against extremism, some analysts argue it served broader strategic interests. Netanyahu himself has acknowledged that 9/11 benefited Israel by swaying American public opinion in its favor.
What followed were years of U.S. military interventions—wars in Iraq and Afghanistan—that aligned perfectly with Israeli strategic objectives: neutralizing regional adversaries, toppling unfriendly governments, and reshaping the geopolitical landscape.
Netanyahu’s Lobbying for Regional Regime Change
In the early 2000s, Netanyahu actively lobbied U.S. policymakers to target Iraq, Iran, and Libya.
In 2002, he testified before Congress advocating preemptive action against nations he deemed threats. This lobbying helped pave the way for the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, removing Saddam Hussein and installing a government aligned with Israeli interests.
While Israel advanced its strategic goals, the U.S. paid dearly: over $2 trillion in war expenditures, hundreds of thousands of lives lost, and enduring instability across the region. Moreover, America’s perceived complicity in Israel’s ambitions fueled anti-U.S. sentiment worldwide.
Netanyahu has finally let the truth slip: Israel’s vision extends far beyond self-defense.
The alignment of U.S. foreign policy with these ambitions has reshaped the Middle East at a staggering cost. The question now is whether the world will continue to enable this expansion—or finally confront it.
