The measurements are for the officially recognised state of Israel excluding any occupied areas.

Admit you were wrong.

Do they have any intention of repatriating the occupied territory back to the rightful owners?
No? Therefore it's reasonable to include the Israeli occupied land.

And thank you for recognising that Israel keeps expanding through the use of force.

Jordan has no interest in getting the West Bank back and Egypt has no interest in getting Gaza back. Too much hassle I guess.

The State of Israel is smaller than Wales. End of unless you can prove otherwise.

slightly smaller than Israel (22,072 sq.kms.) and larger than Slovenia (20,273 sq.kms.), or Kuwait (17,818 sq.kms.) according to Wales.com

Other more reliable sources say otherwise. Israel is 20,770 square kilometres.

That does not justify Israel in occupying it.

Israel is expanding all the time through the use of force.

Israel was assigned 15,264 square kilometres in the Resolution 181 in 1948.
Where did all the rest come from?

Definitely smaller than Wales then.

BTW UN resolution 181 was in 1947, declaration of Statehood followed by the Arab War was 1948.

Israel has been expandng through the use of violence since its creation.
And it obviously has every intention of continuing to do so.
Zionists see that as their destiny.

At least nine Palestinians have been injured as Israeli settlers rampaged through towns and villages in the occupied West Bank for a second night in a row. Simultaneous attacks took place on Saturday night in at least six communities, including the villages of Silat ad-Dhahr and al-Fandaqumiya, both near Jenin; in Jalud and Salfit, both south of Nablus; and in the agricultural regions of Masafer Yatta and the Jordan Valley.

Amnesty International said the expansion of illegal settlements and state-backed settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territory were “a direct indictment of the international community’s catastrophic failure to take decisive action”.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in 2024 that Israel’s continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful and should come to an end “as rapidly as possible”.

Why do we see people on these forums and beyond going mad about events abroad and arguing over their preferred minority ethnic and religious groups, whilst their own country and culture is being grossly undermined and falling to bits?

Because it isn't. Whoever has been telling you that is a liar, and very likely a racist - you really should stop listening to him.

But the thrust of successive Israeli governments is to lock in favourable outcomes before the wind changes.

If Israeli leaders perceive future US support as less certain, with many Americans on the [URL='https://www.economist.com/briefing/2025/09/18/america-is-falling-out-of-love-with-israel']left and right wondering about the cost of the alliance, there is an incentive to consolidate territorial control. That might explain the moves to occupy parts of southern Lebanon and Syria. Mr Trump has threatened to return to war if Tehran does not make a deal. The likelier reality is more prosaic: indirect or mediated contacts, not a meaningful negotiation. Meanwhile, America’s partner against Iran, Mr Netanyahu, is able – in the run-up to an election – to entrench changes that are difficult to reverse, under cover of war.[/url]

Their policy of Lebensraum is gathering momentum...

“We are building the Land of Israel and destroying the idea of a Palestinian state,” said Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Friday. The action that brought on his comments: Israel’s uprooting of 3,000 Palestinian-planted trees in the occupied West Bank.

The destruction of the trees – so that illegal Israeli settlements can expand – was one of a number of Israeli actions this week that emphasised Israel’s continued push to expand its dominance over the West Bank. And it comes as Israel maintains its violent posture in Gaza – killing at least 13 Palestinians there, with a particular focus on police officers.

On Sunday, the Israeli Knesset Ministerial Committee backed a bill that would formally repeal the 1993 Oslo Accords – the cornerstone agreement that created the Palestinian Authority and divided the West Bank into Areas A, B and C. Limor Son Har-Melech, the far-right parliamentarian who submitted the legislation, was explicit about the intent: “We promised to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, and now it is time to encourage settlement in Areas A and B [with full and partial Palestinian administrative control respectively] and cancel the disastrous Oslo Accords.”

In Gaza, a document obtained by the Times of Israel revealed that the so-called Board of Peace does not intend to hold Israel to ceasefire commitments if Hamas refuses to accept its disarmament framework – meaning Israel would not be pressured to stop its military strikes, aid restrictions, and continued expansion of the territory in Gaza under its control. At the same time, the European Union condemned Israel’s expansion of the “orange line” restricted zone, which now covers more than 60 percent of the Gaza Strip, saying it contradicts withdrawal commitments under the October “ceasefire”.
