Israel has been shrinking while Islam has been growing.
Tucker Carlson, who has defended Islam, Sharia law, Hamas and Hezbollah, flew into Israel for a few hours, only long enough to put out a fake claim that he was harassed by Israeli security (later disproven by video footage) and to berate Trump’s Ambassador Mike Huckabee with assorted Islamic propaganda, like his claim of a “Greater Israel”.The former FOX News talking head, who now seems to spend much of his time in the Muslim world and spoke of buying a home in the terrorist state of Qatar, has spent the last few years bringing on increasingly disreputable figures like Soros-funded UN official Jeffrey Sachs, George Stephanopoulos’s sister, and John Mearsheimer to push this particular lie.
The premise of the lie is that Israel is starting wars to expand its territory across the Middle East.
Knowing that Ambassador Huckabee is an evangelical Christian who believes in the literal truth of scripture, Tucker challenged him over the ‘from the Nile to the Euphrates’ in Genesis 15:18 as his idea of ‘Greater Israel’. (Deuteronomy alternatively states that the borders will be “from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the river – the Euphrates – to the Western Sea.”)
Mainstream media talking heads asking religious people if they believe in the truth of biblical prophecies is an old cynical liberal media gotcha game. And Tucker was using it to prop up the Islamic ‘Big Lie’ that Israel was expanding when it’s actually been shrinking for 50 years.
It’s a matter of simple math.
Israel was at its largest size in the seventies when it controlled some 33,000 square miles: a territory around the size of South Carolina. As part of Carter’s 1978 Camp David peace accords, which Egypt has spent the last decade flagrantly violating, Israel turned over the Sinai, some 23,000 miles, a territory the size of West Virginia, leaving it with around 10,000 square miles.
That’s the size of Massachusetts.
(Egypt’s territory is over 380,000 square miles. And yet after losing several wars to Israel, it demanded massive territorial concessions from a country less than 3% its size.)
During Bill Clinton’s Oslo Accords, Israel directly turned over 1/10th of its remaining land, around 1,000 square miles, also known as ‘Area A’ to the control of the PLO, Area B, making up around 500 square miles, was to be under joint control, with further concessions expected as part of a final agreement. That shrank Israel down from Massachusetts to New Hampshire.
Meanwhile, Israel reached an agreement with Jordan that ceded yet more land as part of the ‘Island of Peace’ that was supposed to be under Jordanian sovereignty but with Israeli access.
(Jordan has a territory of over 34,000 square miles or over three times the size of Israel.)
In 1997, a Jordanian Muslim soldier opened fire on a group of seventh and eight grade Jewish girls touring the area, killing 7 and wounding 5. The terrorist is considered a hero in Jordan, with the majority of the Jordanian parliament calling for his release. He has been freed. Two years later, Jordan cut off the access of Israeli farmers to the land.
Meanwhile no final agreement was ever reached with the PLO because its leader Yasser Arafat and his Communist-trained successor Mahmoud Abbas broke up multiple negotiations efforts, and continued carrying out and funding terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.
Still, Israel went on turning over territory to be occupied by the Islamic terrorists.
At the Wye River summit in 1999, Netanyahu agreed to turn over another 11% of Judea and Samaria while the Clinton administration demanded 13% in exchange for an end to terrorism. The withdrawal became much more limited when the Islamic terrorist attacks continued.
In response, Bill Clinton worked to bring down the Netanyahu government and replaced him with Prime Minister Ehud Barak, currently in disgrace over his ties to Clinton pal Jeffrey Epstein.
Barak agreed to a multi-stage handover of 18% of Judea and Samaria. That included a single handover of 400 kilometers.
At the Camp David summit in 2000, Barak, accepted the ‘Clinton Parameters’ for, in Bill Clinton’s words, “a Palestinian state in roughly 97 percent of the West Bank, counting the swap, and all of Gaza” along with the land swap that would annex Israeli communities in exchange for more land in Israel. Arafat rejected it and launched another war. Barak did go ahead with a ‘unilateral withdrawal’ from Lebanon that allowed Hezbollah to seize the formerly Christian country. --->READ MORE HERE
