Jerusalem Post deletes article claiming Lebanon is part of Israel’s ‘promised land’

The Jerusalem Post has prompted a controversy after publishing then swiftly deleting an article suggesting that Lebanon and several other Middle Eastern countries are part of Israel’s “promised land”.

“Is Lebanon part of Israel’s promised territory?” was published on 25 September, coinciding with Israel’s assault on Lebanon and subsequent ground invasion. The timing and content of the piece have been viewed by critics as evidence of Israel’s expansionist ambitions in the region.

In the now-deleted article, Mark Fish claimed that the land “promised by God” to the “children of Israel” includes parts of modern-day Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and even Turkey. Fish cited religious texts to support its claims.

“The Torah provides clear guidelines regarding the areas we were commanded to conquer when taking possession of the land,” he wrote. He elaborated further on the concept of “Greater Israel”, suggesting that the Biblical boundaries stretch “from the ‘River of Egypt’ [interpreted by some as the Nile or a smaller river in Sinai] to the Perat River [Euphrates].”

The Jerusalem Post removed the article following a backlash on social media, with many accusing the newspaper of promoting expansionist ideology under the guise of religious justification. However, the article has been archived and continues to circulate online.

Notably, the author provides Torah-based justifications for holding onto occupied land. He said that “Hashem [God] tells us that we are granted every land we will conquer within the borders mentioned,” suggesting that God has sanctioned territorial expansion and occupation. This is an argument that aligns with a core tenet of Zionist ideology, which often cites Biblical prophecy about God’s promise to the Jews as justification for claiming Palestine and surrounding areas.

“Every place where the sole of your foot will tread shall be yours — from the wilderness and the Lebanon, from the river — the Euphrates River — until the western sea shall be your boundary,” wrote Fish. “This promise from the Creator clearly places the land of Lebanon within the Promised Land of Israel, or what some refer to as ‘the Complete Land of Israel’, or ‘The greater Israel’.”

Critics argue that the publication of such content, especially during another Israeli invasion of Lebanon, serves to legitimise Israel’s ongoing colonisation efforts in the Middle East. They contend that it reflects a broader ideology within certain Israeli circles that seeks to justify territorial expansion based on religious beliefs.

The controversy has reignited debates about the role of Israel’s religious claims to Palestine and the potential consequences of such rhetoric in an already volatile region. Like the early Zionists who concealed their true intention about ethnic cleansing and the complete colonisation of all of Palestine, Israeli leaders tend to avoid commenting on the concept of Greater Israel.

As of the time of writing, the Jerusalem Post had not issued an official statement regarding the publication and subsequent removal of the article.

  1. Firstly, Jews originated from warrior tribes and are nomads from northern Turkey, Sogdians countries the middle east eg. Iraq and still some from northern Africa eg Morocco. Sure some went to Egypt, Palestine and in turn to Europe eg. babylonian rhadhans. The jew word did not exist in the English language until year 1755. The old testament was fraudulently translated with many inserts. The new testament was remade and rewritten. And the Scofield one was written in 1903 -1909 and funded by the Rothschilds – image that. Remember, Palestinians atr 80% Hebrew genes and the so called Jews only have 2.5% Hebrew genes. The word hebrew and invented by the Greeks – image that. The current jews in Palestine are occupiers/imposters and follow the talmud writings were are immoral and cruel to the rest of humanity.

  2. Ben Gurion: In 1899, Davis Triestsch wrote to Herzl: ” I would suggest to you to come round in time to the “Greater Palestine” program before it is too late… the Basle program must contain the words “Great Palestine” or “Palestine and its neighboring lands” otherwise it’s nonsense. You do not get ten million Jews into a land of 25,000 Km2″. ” The present map of Palestine was drawn by the British mandate. The Jewish people have another map which our youth and adults should strive to fulfill — From the Nile to the Euphrates.”

    Eretz Israel = “From the Nile to the Litani, from the Euphrates top the sea.”

    But it does not stop there ;

    • The Jew Baruch Levy, back in the mid  1800s, had clearly expressed the ultimate goals of the  Jews:

    “The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by  the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of  monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere  exercise the privilege of citizenship, in this  new world order  the Jews will furnish all the  leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the  hands of the Jews. It will then be  possible for  the Jewish rulers to  abolish private property, and everywhere to make  use of the  resources of the  state

    Thus will the purpose of the Talmud  be fulfilled, in which it is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have  all the property  of the  whole world  in their hands.”

    Rabbi Emanuel Rabinovich, which was delivered before the Emergency Council of European Rabbis in Budapest,

    Hungary, Jan. 12, 1952:

    “Greetings, my children. You have been called here to recapitulate the principal steps of our new program. . . . The  goal for which we  have striven so concertedly for !three thousand  years is at last within our reach, and  because its fulfillment is so apparent, it behooves us to increase our efforts and our caution tenfold. . . .Within five years, this program will achieve its objective, the Third World War, which will surpass in destruction all previous contests.  . . .

     This war will end for all time our struggle  against the [white race].  We will openly reveal our identity with the  races of Asia and Africa. I can state with  assurance that the  last generation of white children is now being born. Our Control Commissions will, in the interests of peace  and wiping out interracial tensions. forbid the whites to mate with whites.  The white  women must cohabit with  members of the dark races, and the white men with black  women. Thus  the white race will  disappear. for mixing the  dark with the white will be the end of the white man. and our most  dangerous enemy will  become only a memory. We  [Jews] will  embark upon an  era of  ten thousand years of  peace and plenty, the  Pax Judaica, and our  race will rule undisputed over the earth. Our superior intelligence will  easily enable us to retain  mastery over a world of dark peoples.”

    Karl Marx once stated:

    “There can be no solution of the problems of the world without the destruction of the Jews and their religion, Judaism. “

    Oh Yes, to all Jews everywhere, Happy New Year.
