The Jimmy Dore Show Jimmy Dore interviews The Grayzone ’s Max Blumenthal about how the current Iran conflict feeds the "Greater Israel Project," an expansionist vision held by influential Israeli figures to establish borders between the Nile and Euphrates rivers, encompassing parts of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia including Mecca and Medina. They argue that this Israeli ambition explains current Middle East dynamics, with the U.S. military being used as a "battering ram" to make Arab Muslim states subservient to Israeli domination. Blumenthal notes that even mainstream Israeli opposition figures articulate this biblical vision, and that the Israeli flag itself symbolizes these aspirations with stripes representing the Nile and Euphrates. They conclude that if Israel's campaign against Iran fails, Gulf states will learn the costly lesson that hosting U.S. bases and normalizing relations with Israel is a dangerous liability.
