    It’s not 1967. Back then Israel was a modern army fighting people on horseback (okay fine that’s an exaggeration, but not much of one! the gap was way bigger back then). This is a totally different era of warfare.

    Also? Everyone is drafted into the military at 18 just becomes an officer by 21, it’s a joke army and that’s why Hamas keeps smoking their tanks to post on TikToc. You are actually vastly overestimating Israel’s capabilities, which has been an international propaganda effort by Israel to portray themselves as an unsinkable aircraft carrier. That’s why they’re turning Gaza into a mass grave. Hamas humiliated them and now they need to show they world that they are strong and in control.

    The truth is that Israel would not be able to fight a war on multiple fronts after having already fought in Gaza for eight months. The 21st century is a different battlefield.

        You’re the one saying Israel is an indestructible titan that can fight all of its enemies at once after being bogged down in war for 8 months. Cut off the US supply of bombs and they’d run out in weeks. Let Ansar Allah blockade their trade in the Red Sea and they’d be unable to be resupplied by anyone else - if they could even find anyone else! You still failed to actually name someone that’d be willing to arm Israel. They’d waste all their ammo and be left with nothing to do genocide or defend themselves.

        Now of course we should do more. There should be sanctions on Israel and we should demand they return everything the US has ever sold them, and bomb them if the refuse to comply, but ending US support would go a long way to ending the genocide and you need to reconcile with this. Israel just couldn’t get away with this without a superpower behind them.
