Enlighten me, what aid did we get in the 40s, 50s and 60s?
Palestinians never had an economy because they never had a functioning country. There was no sanctions on the Palestinians because they never produced anything.
You're also speaking as if Israel was fighting the so called Palestinians, that's not really the case, Israel was fighting a bunch of Arab countries pumped with more oil money than Israel could have imagined to have.
Israel was outnumbered, outgunned, its economy was inferior. The first time we got aid was in 1973 and in no shape or form did this aid even out the playing field on paper. In reality we are much smarter and stronger than any amount of Muslim enemies you could throw against us.
"West armed us"? We were customers. We still are. According to your logic, anyone that trades with us "saves us from destruction". Turns out I'm saved from certain death when I buy food at the supermarket. Now some idiot I fight will say "Hahaha, if you didn't buy food at that supermarket, you would be dead!" and would start mumbling about how the supermarket supports me and how he would have easily beaten me had the supermarket banned me from buying their food and water, while ignoring the fact he's also buying food and water at the supermarket. Understand how retarded your argument sounds?
Anything the west given us our enemies recieved 4 times the amount from the USSR, and more advanced technology at that. Take for example the night vision technology, strategic Tupelov bombers armed with cruise missiles, T-62s, AKM rifles that the Arabs received, way better than anything we had.
What do you mean "won't reach the point"? We're well past that, it's just that Europe aren't our enemies.
67 and 73 lack tactics, training and coordination? Jordan were British trained, Syrians, Egyptians and others were Soviet trained, expeditionary forces from all other the Muslim world, Cuba, North Korea and the USSR. Hell we even shot down 5 Soviet fighters in Operation Rimon 20, with 0 casualties of our own. They lack in all of those relative to us, relative to you they are the same. Weak.
For the last 20-30 years Israel bombed nuclear reactors, did well over ten thousand sorties against Iran, Syria, Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, created the best air defenses in the world (Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow 3, Iron Beam, Barak 8), created the best spyware and cyber attacks in the world (Pegasus, Stuxnet, allegedly Nitro Zeus plan), created the best APS (Trophy, Iron Fist), best ATGM (Spike family), destabilized every one of its enemies, neutralizing threats without even firing a bullet. Made the Mossad the most feared intelligence agency across the world. Developed an economy stronger than most of the Western world, yes, the same western world you claim we "won't reach their point". Western countries come here to study CQB, combat pilot training, just now military doctors from Germany came here to inspect how we evacuate the wounded on Merkava Mk4s.
We are just better, you try and belittle our enemies and enlarge the support we get. That's kinda pathetic.
That's a stupid scenario. There's a reason countries far apart don't fight wars. Conventionally neither France nor Israel could really hurt one another, France could send its fleet and get sunk, Israel could send its fleet and get sunk, nothing more. France isn't well equipped for power projection, let alone against Israel, a country with larger and more experienced as well as better equipped air force. Fleets would get detected by Ofek satellites, sunk by stealthy F-35s and our 6 Dolphin submarines. Israeli anti-ship missiles are very potent, Blue Spear 5G SSM and Gabriel V, both stealthy missiles, even bought by NATO navies. Saar 5 and Saar 6 are extremely well armed, with very long range AESA radars (bought by India, South Korea, mounted on destroyers and aircraft carriers), Sea version Iron Dome, Gabriel V. Those very modern ships designed for the defense of our coasts and punch far above their weight. If anything Israel has a better chance because French air defenses are rather lacking and Israeli F-35s could refuel and bomb targets, whereas Israel is the most densely protected piece of sky in this world. A true hornets nest.
You're talking about a nuclear exchange? No problem, nuclear armed Dolphin Mk1 and Mk2 submarines, Jericho 3 ICBMs with 11,500km range, MIRV warheads, Jericho 2 MRBMs with a few thousands of kilometers of range.
Again belittling our enemies, ask the Iranians what they're bringing to Syria and what blows up there every week
David's Sling, Arrow 2, Arrow 3, Patriot stop such missiles easily. Arrow 3 is an exoatmospheric interceptor with around 3,000 kilometer range, thanks to the Israeli BTH radars in certain countries. And of course our missiles would wipe out the force launching those missiles.
It's okay, their pseudo-5th generation fighter doesn't fear us, they should focus on their economy to be able to afford those. And Israeli F-35s are second to none, besides probably the NGAD. Israeli F-35s are heavily modified by Israel. We are the only country with access to the source code of the F-35.
Besides, Erdogan is a hypocrite, one day he calls us murderers, now he shakes hands with us.
Iran is the one contained, not Israel.
We are selling weapons to KSA, UAE, Bahrain. Their air force commanders come here to study. Besides, they have no industry of their own. The pilots they have are mercenaries. They are not a real threat. They never were either, they never fought Israeli soldiers.
Against its potential enemies? Israel is invincible.
Arab countries weren't an existential threat for over 40 years already.
