We know you want to hit our civilians and that upsets you they won't be here.
Don't worry, active and reserve duty soldiers will all remain to kick Muslim ***
By the way, when Iraqi Scuds landed in Tel Aviv, did we all "scatter back to wherever we came from"? or was Iraq obliterated as a response?
I highly doubt Israel has the capacity to sustain a war at the scale it did in the past. There are many reasons for this but the most important are
1. The US has been weakened significantly due to the past 20 years of war including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and now Ukraine. Neither is there a political will nor is there available military to stock to supply Israel when it runs short of its stock. The US itself sent most of its javelin, artillery, other weapons stock to ukraine which will take a decade to remanufacter.
In every previous war US or France came to bail out israel with weapon supplies. Neither are modern weapons easy to make as they were in the past requiring significant number of chips, semiconductors, gps components, receivers etc… imagine it iran/hezbollah hit a chip manufactering facility or missile production factory??? Supply and logistics are very important.
2.Another reason is that Israeli society itself is fractured more than it ever was. You have palestinians, israeli arabs, left wing secular jews, orthodox jews, etc… the current large scale protests are a prime example. Israel simply does not have the full political will to fight a sustained conflict.
3. Lastly 75% of israeli citizens have dual citizenship. You and I both know the moment security detiorate it will directly correlate to people fleeing which includes capital flight. There is a reason Israel is a literal security state.
Again I can think if many more including the fact that 20% of jewish male population are homosexuals, another 20% are orthodox who dont even believe in joining the military. How will you get gay jews or orthodox to fight??? Israel simply doesnt have the manpower or resources to lean on. Believe me if Israel could strike Irans nuclear plants it would have long ago…
4. Israeli generals nor military have the experience fighting wars that they had in the past. Generals like Moche Dayan and Ariel Sharon are in history books but you cannot forget that Israel early on had a pool of highly experienced soldiers who fought in combat either for the US, British, Soviet Union in WW2. The soldiers in the early israeli military even fought against the british pre-1948 having valuable experience in bomb making, insurgency, and urban combat. Moche Dayan and Ariel Sharon were involved in multiple wars before they made their glory as generals.
Todays israeli soldiers and high level generals have never fought a modern war in their lifetime. They have only fought again palestinians women and children. A perfect example is even 2006 when the israeli military was caught lacking significantly since its past. A longer time has passed since 2006 and its hard to see if a lesson was learned since even in 15 years valuable experience can be lost.
