Jeroen, you wrote:

Sounds vaguely familiar..."
Why did you use the German word lebensraum which has connotations of the
holocaust in a discussion about Israel? This is an English speaking forum, the
discussion was about the middle east where no one speaks German, and you are
Dutch. Why use a German word (and add "sounds vaguely familiar) if you were not
striking a comparison between the Nazis and the Israelis?
