The public exposure of just how false the superpowers mil rep of the US, NATO, the rest of EU, Israel, and Ukraine has been one of the best things to come out of their frantic efforts to accelerate their goals timeline.

Second is the blatantly NOT god guys or motivated by democracy all of them are.

They have really screwed up domestically and on the world stage. And as an American I could not be more satisfied

Yeah, they couldn't do much until they got their American meat puppets to come over and do their work for them.

The Israelis have had a historical good reputation due to what happened in 1967. Keep in mind that back then, the Arabic nations were much poorer, with high levels of illiteracy, and that there were those who had lessons from WW2 that were still around fighting for Israel.

As you can see from the list above, Israel is giving people titles without having the requisite experience to actually do the job. This is one reason that the Israeli military is struggling on the ground. They have Staff Sergeants with only one or two years experience, and much of the experience consists of weekend drills or a week or two of concentrated training. These are young men totally unprepared for ground combat operations.

The Israeli military is built on reservists and doesn't have the economy for a professional miliary.

In 1967, Israel attacked its neighbors. Saying this seems to really get under the skin of the Zionists and their apologists because it is provably true and it goes against their narrative.

They did - they had the element of surprise because of their offensive and because it was a short combat.

Israel doesn't do as well in longer fights.

I think it was Max Blumenthal on Judge Napolitano's channel talking about the list of IDF casualties, how disproportionate the number of officers and the fact that these officers were also very young, obviously given commands they lacked the experience to lead. There's a lot of older Israelis including government officials who love to bloviate about their glory days of committing war crimes against civilians, they should be required to suit up and take command. After all, there's no difference between what the military is doing now in Gaza and what it did in the past so whether the war criminals are young or old shouldn't matter.
