The "God given" land actually extends much farther beyond Israel's boundaries so I'd say people of those countries are rightful feel as they do.
Like immagine if the rhetoric of Turkey was constantly talking about expanding to Greece and how the land of Greece is historically the Turks. Obviously that would make any Greek uneasy.

The Turks would never dream of irridentism, expansion, a Blue Homeland, the destruction of neighbouring peoples or neo-Ottomanism. Absolutely never.
And the Greeks are historically famous for being quite laissez-faire when it comes to their eastern borders.
Few countries have given back so much land for peace. Consider of the percentage of land returned for peace with Egypt.
The idea of “greater Israel” is a bogeyman that lives in the heads of people that hates Israel in several factors of greater numbers than there are people in Israel who believe that.
You can literally count with both hands the amount of people in Israel that advocate for “greater Israel”
Seeing how things have played out this year, maybe this will end up being their undoing. Israel has made it clear that the next domino to fall after Iran is Turkey. I don't even know how that would work. Isn't Turkey a NATO ally? At some point, this has got to stop. After everything that's come out this year, I wonder if an alternative world where a lot of these Middle Eastern countries developing into stable democracies could have occurred had Israel been contained or never been created.
