Greater Israel, Zionism & Netanyahu: The Full Story | ft. Prof. Khinvraj Jangid & Mukul | Jist

In this episode of Breaking Down, host Mukul sits down with Prof. (Dr.) Khinvraj Jangid, Professor and Director of the Jindal Centre for Israel Studies, to unpack the idea of “Greater Israel” and the history surrounding it. The conversation goes beyond headlines and wars to explore the historical roots of Israel, the political and ideological debates around the Greater Israel concept, and the worldview associated with leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu. The discussion also touches on lesser-known historical connections, including Mahatma Gandhi’s views on Israel and Zionism, and how these ideas continue to influence politics and narratives in the Middle East today. Through historical context and expert insight, this episode aims to break down complex debates around Israel, its ideology, and its place in global politics. #GreaterIsrael #IsraelHistory #Zionism #BenjaminNetanyahu #MiddleEastPolitics #IsraelPalestine #Geopolitics #Podcast #Jist #israeldebate 00:00 - 02:05 - Montage 02:06 - 03:25 - Introduction 03:36 - 23:05 - What is Greater Israel? 23:06 - 28:31 - Was settling Israel near Palestine a conspiracy theory? 28:32 - 37:02 - Where did the idea of Greater Israel come from? 37:03 - 39:38 - About the Oslo Peace Accord 39:39 - 46:40 - Foundation of Israel 46:41 - 51:08 - Fault Lines of Israel 51:09 - 01:02:47 - Politics of Benjamin Netanyahu 01:02:48 - 01:10:17 - Why is it not easy to break Israel? 01:10:18 - 01:16:37 - Trump’s involvement in Israeli politics 01:16:38 - 01:20:17 - Netanyahu’s family background 01:20:18 - 01:21:35 - Economy of Israel 01:21:36 - 01:23:57 - Gandhian connection with Israel 01:23:58 - 01:30:30 - How Israel became an extremely right-wing country 01:30:31 - 01:39:38 - What if Netanyahu loses the upcoming election? 01:39:39 - 01:46:10 - How corrupt is Benjamin Netanyahu? 01:46:11 - 01:47:25 - Closing Thought
