SACHS: Greater Israel Project a 'kind of fascism'
Sachs said Israel is essentially saying that it owns all of Palestine, southern Lebanon, and parts of Syria...and can have nukes while killing anyone it determined wants them.
Jeffery Sachs, the Columbia University economist, said in an interview on Friday that the Greater Israel Project is a “kind of fascism” because its tenets are: “we decide; we own everything; we rule over 8 million Palestinian Arabs; and, maybe they'll be exterminated, maybe they'll be ethnically cleansed; maybe they'll just be subservient in an apartheid state; maybe it's all of the above…but we rule.”
Bezalel Smotrich, the extremist Israeli finance minister, said it is “written” that Israel’s future is its expansion to Damascus and parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, according to a French documentary titled: “Israel: Extremists in Power.”
Sachs said in an interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano’s Judging Freedom that Israel is perpetually at war with its neighbors because it is making the most “maximalist demands that it can,” and it finds its support from American Christian Zionists, like the U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee said in an interview in February that it would be “fine” if Israel claimed much of the Middle East, stating that God promised the land to his chosen people.
Huckabee is a staunch supporter of all things Israel and has defended Tel Aviv’s land grab in the past. He said in previous interviews that Israel may be occupying the territory, but “it is an occupation of land that God gave them 3,500 years ago.”
He told a podcast, “In Genesis, when we’re told that God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. I’m simple-minded enough to say, ‘There it is. What am I gonna do? I’m gonna believe that.’”
