What do some Jews mean when they say Eretz Israel?

Both sides want the other side to disappear.

Jews aren't blowing up innocent civilians in surrounding nations and then crying for help from the outside world about the pitiful state of "their people."

A more realistic paradigm,I think, would be that the Arab nations are a pack of dogs while Israel is a porcupine.
The porcupine simply wants to be left alone; but the dogs just cannot do that -- the mere presence of the porcupine is too great a provocation to the dogs. They simply cannot control their urge bark, yip, threaten, snarl, and, occasionally, try to take a bite (only to get grievously hurt).
The porcupine, if left alone, would pose no threat to anyone whatsoever.

Israel has no designs whatsoever on any Arab territory; but if the Arabs start another war, they need to be prepared to lose some more.

I'm not sure I understand the map.
If the Blue is Israel, then it shows that the Israeli's are perfectly happy to have a Palestinian country on over 70% of the land, Jordan.
Even if it is some wird affirmation of soveireignty over te entire gold area, then it is really irrellevent. You are comparing a map put out by a PRIVATE group with those of the PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY.

That is absolutely NOT true! Either you're a provocateur or just ignorant.

Either way, next!
