I believe the wars and revolutions in the Middle East were done to A) Balkanize regional states
Thus, over the course of the 19th century, the Ottoman state became vastly more powerful and organised, despite suffering further territorial losses, especially in the Balkans, where a number of new states emerged.[17] The empire allied with Germany in the early 20th century, hoping to escape from the diplomatic isolation which had contributed to its recent territorial losses, and thus joined World War I on the side of the Central Powers.[18] While the Empire was able to largely hold its own during the conflict, it was struggling with internal dissent, especially with the Arab Revolt in its Arabian holdings. During this time, atrocities were committed by the Young Turk government against the Armenians, Assyrians and Pontic Greeks.[19]
The Empire's defeat and the occupation of part of its territory by the Allied Powers in the aftermath of World War I resulted in its partitioning and the loss of its Middle Eastern territories, which were divided between the United Kingdom and France. The successful Turkish War of Independence against the occupying Allies led to the emergence of the Republic of Turkey in the Anatolian heartland and the abolition of the Ottoman monarchy.

Who went for thousands of years without a nation to call home? How else can the world understand but through their own displacement? So there is my theory, that greater Israel is more about a state of mind than boundaries on a map. it's about bringing the Jewish experience up close and personal to the rest of the world. If you look in to messianic Judaism you will find it looks exactly like what the New world order is shaping up to be.

The balkanization was started by Europeans.

I remember back in the '60s, seeing Protestant Christian books about Bible prophecy written around the turn of the century that the end of the Ottoman Empire was supposed to be a great sign of the soon return of the Christian's Jesus.
if like me you think that the prophesies of Daniel are supposed to do a rerun in the end times.
Many scholarly and popular interpreters have argued that a prophecy may have a dual fulfillment; others have argued for the possibility of multiple fulfillments. In some senses this has been occasionally referred to as an apotelesmatic interpretation of specific prophecies.
wikipedia: Bible_prophecy #Multiple_fulfillments
C. F. Keil (1807–1888) suggested in an influential commentary "this uniting together of the two events is not to be explained only from the perspective and apotelesmatic character of the prophecy, but has its foundation in the very nature of the thing itself. The prophetic perspective, by virtue of which the inward eye of the seer beholds only the elevated summits of historical events as they unfold themselves, and not the valleys of the common incidents of history which lie between these heights, is indeed peculiar to prophecy in general, and accounts for the circumstance that the prophecies as a rule give no fixed dates, and apotelesmatically bind together the points of history which open the way to the end, with the end itself."

The 9-11 attacks appear to be a fulfillment of this prophesy if you remember this detail.
14Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together: gold, and silver, and clothing, in great abundance.
...
16It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, and to keep the feast of tents. 17It will be, that whoever of all the families of the earth doesn't go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, on them there will be no rain. 18If the family of Egypt doesn't go up, and doesn't come, neither will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike the nations that don't go up to keep the feast of tents. 19This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that don't go up to keep the feast of tents.
…
In that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of Yahweh of Armies.

The 9-11 attacks appear to be a fulfillment of this prophesy if you remember this detail. Daniel is describing a vision he saw of the future. "Grecia" or Greece here could be a simile. The nation that would be attacked only had to look Greek to Daniel to satisfy the prophecy. And the 9-11 attack on Washington DC fits the bill.

If the fruits of their actions are on the Material platform then it CANNOT be said that they are acting on the Spiritual platform. Therefore, while “they” may be doing a little pushing and shoving like wanton children, they are not actually elevating anyone. Degrading and disenfranchising people of various regions and ethnicities possibly... but not elevating.
Thus it can be said that the plan for a Greater Israel Project does not include a genuine spiritual component. A material and geographical outcome is as you mentioned the likely aim.
We are all, by default: as per our having taken birth in this flesh - LOST. There is no need for this condition to extend to nations or states; it is redundant and exposes the fallacy being made by short-sighted planmakers and irreligious masters.

Im not sure I understand the OP, are you suggesting that there is a Jewish conspiracy to inflict pain, suffering and displacement on a world wide scale to help us all evolve spiritually to their level or are you saying that they are doing it as revenge?

So I have to set the record straight here with Asktgeanimals and others posting in this thread. First of all, the thread is very important! Asktheanimals nails the MO of present day pro-Israeli paradigm. Refugees, material and spiritual. If I understand OP correctly the GIP is advancing a meme that goes something like: “you are refugees, we are refugees - you should side with us” Of course, it’s more than a meme. It’s a global cabal? Is that close to what is being said here or am I wrong?
If that is so, it is a hoax of near cosmic proportion. That is my opinion. Maybe not the OP’s. Regardless, we may still be in agreement that this IS what’s happening. It would be nice if OP would let us know whether they believe this is in line with prophecy, or if it’s made to appear in line to hoax the suckers, or, or, or.....
