The Neo-Canaan Project: Israel’s Quest for a Greater Promised Land

The article presents a critical perspective on the evolving geopolitical and ideological landscape of Israel, emphasizing the increasing convergence of religious narratives with territorial expansion. By examining historical parallels such as Germany’s ‘Lebensraum’ concept, it outlines how the modern Israeli vision of ‘Greater Israel’ is not merely a policy but a deeply embedded ideological framework. The piece argues that this expansionist logic is increasingly institutionalized within Israel’s political and military structures, with implications for regional stability and international relations. It also discusses the ethical and moral implications of these developments within the Jewish community, highlighting the tension between historical religious narratives and contemporary geopolitical realities. Finally, it touches on the potential for future conflict as Israel continues to pursue its expansionist agenda, underscoring the broader implications of this ideological shift.
