In the episode of the Turkish TV series "Sultan Abdülhamid" that aired on March 10, Herzl, after scheming his way to Zionist leadership, lays out his ultimate goal: establishing a Jewish state from the Nile to the Euphrates. In a Hitler-style address before a gathering of Vienna Jews, he paints the flag of the new state, adding two blue lines to symbolize the two rivers, and declares: "Soon, the whole of humanity will live as long as it serves us Jews." The series has been airing weekly on the Turkish TRT TV channel since February.

Our holy book and the prophecies tell us that the time of the Jews has come. In my book, Der Judenstaat, I discussed the lands that were promised to you.
