Re: Afghanistan to establish diplomatic relations with Israel
Zionists tell a white lie when they say that their occupation of Muslim holy land is the result of Arabs starting wars. These racists had always wanted Israel to go far beyond what Europeans had given them in 1948. In fact, they had the concept of Eretz Israel way before 1948.
Although Ben-Gurion accepted partition, he did not view the borders of the Peel commission plan as permanent. He saw no contradiction between accepting the Jewish state in part of Palestine and hoping to expand the borders of this state to the whole Land of Israel. The difference between him and the Revisionists was not that he was a territorial minimalist while they were territorial maximalists but rather that he pursued a gradualist strategy while they adhered to an all-or-nothing approach.
The nature and extent of Ben-Gurion’s territorial expansionism were revealed with startling frankness in a letter he sent to his son Amos from London on 5 October 1937. There Ben-Gurion professed himself to be an enthusiastic advocate of a Jewish state, even if it involved the partitioning of Palestine, because he worked on the assumption that this state would be not the end but only the beginning. A state would enable the Jews to have unlimited immigration, to build a Jewish economy, and to organize a first-class army. “I am certain,” he wrote, “we will be able to settle in all the other parts of the country, whether through agreement and mutual understanding with our Arab neighbours or in another way.” Both his mind and his heart told Ben-Gurion, “Erect a Jewish State at once, even if it is not in the whole land. The rest will come in the course of time. It must come.” (Avi Shlaim, The Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World, Penguin, 2000, p 21)
Ben Gurion on the borders of Eretz Israel:
"**[T]o the north, the Litani river, to the northeast, the Wadi 'Owja, twenty miles south of Damascus; the southern border will be mobile and pushed into Sinai at least up to Wadi al 'Arish; and to the east, the Syrian Desert, including the furthest edge of Transjordan.**" (Quoted, Nur Masalha, Expulsion of the Palestinians: The Concept of "Transfer" in Zionist Political Thought, 1882-1948, 1992, p 87).
