    Also that second part of your last post is surprising @cold because I've been seeing the term a lot when it comes to israel wanting and feeling like it requires and is entitled all of Palestine, Lebanon etc

    Also here's the wiki on lebensraum when it comes to Nazi Germany

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebensraum#:~:text=Lebensraum%20(German%20pronunciation%3A%20%5B%CB%88le%CB%90b%C9%99ns%CB%8C%CA%81a%CA%8Am,the%201890s%20to%20the%201940s.

    Seems like like the conception of lebensraum that I first posted was a critical part of Nazi ideology
