Five reasons why Israel is in trouble

[kaykay]

Sure they do, try to force israel on Indian muslims and you will get your response. Once again I agree you have a balanced relationship with israel, arabs, iran but what if israel becomes a issue tommorow, next week, next year..

If war breaks out, israel/iran/GCC
If israel's muslim population pushes higher

does india have the ideological loyalty to israel that the USA does, or will india give statements hoping for the best

What do you mean by they care? We already have a very good relationship with Israel and Iran both(even though sunnis hate both countries) and Arabs(even though Shias hate arabs). As I said they don't care and they have zero influence on to whom we do trade and have bilateral relationship. Every Indian knows that we have defence relationship with Israel and I never see any Indian muslim having any problem on that. Same on realtionships with Arabs and Iran and their respective haters!!
Regarding at war like situation between Israel and others, we are neutral. We have a foreign policy of non-alignment. We only care about our interest Just like any country should be.

Israel is not even a country

What constitute for a state? by all means Israel is a state/country.

All of which you can do yourself, but your corrupt officials prefer backroom deals with foreign weapons suppliers.

Indian corruption and bribery is well reported in the defence related news.

Load of bullcrap!!

Barring demographic bomb which is a reality and is greatest existential danger to Israel; rest are the example of counterfactual thinking on part of writer.An example in bad scholarship.

1. The changing priorities of the United States

The Change in US priorities from Atlantic to Pacific does not have any bearing on Israel. The author conveniently forgot that Israel was never dependent of US Armed forces for Survival. It's security does not depend on how many Aircraft carrier US have in Atlantic and shifting of 10% of fleet from Atlantic to Pacific is not going to affect Israel's security adversely.

People while bashing Israel forget the source of Israel's power.It does not lie in US but in Israel itself. It is a technologically advanced country which produces one of the most sophisticated weapons in the world, some even more advanced than US and Europe also. It's military supremacy is not eroding because US become nonchalant about middle east affairs.

3. The rise of regional economic and military powers

Barring Saudi Arabia, no other regional, economic or military power is rising and it would take a decade for Saudi's to build an Airforce and even more time to build an Army.While Saudi's have signed mega deals with Americans and Europeans, it would take both Boeing and Eurofighter consortium decades to deliver on their promise and at least 3 year of training for them to become battleworthy.By which time Israel would have F-35 or if USA ditches it, PAK-FA.

Even if none of the next generation purchases fructify , Israel had strong enough Airforce to defend itself

+ It's small geographical size ( 400 Km X 100 Km ) which is a curse for Israel in a land war is an advantage in Air war. Due to it's small size it could literally have a blanket SAM protection of which Israel's Spyder is best for short range and a also an blanket BMD.

The problem with BMD's and SAM is that they are point defense systems and in case of large countries,they could be bypassed and it is economically unfeasible to provide blanket SAM or BMD cover. BUT small size of Israel negates that disadvantage. An invading Airforce would suffer a bloodbath.

4. Syria and the Rise of Islamism

Israel face existential crisis but that comes from demographic danger that Arabs would outbreed Jews in Israel.If someone thinks that Camel cavalry of nusra would sack tel-aviv, he is mistaken.

 

[hussain0216]

Saudi is not alone, its the GCC

Turkey is a very powerfull country and getting even stronger

The balance of power is definitely shifting from the west o he east, soon Israel will become insignificant as the US power wears down.....

 

[Solomon2]

Europe doesnt hate the Jews, they are tired of Israel's antics. Constant encroachment of Palestinian lands. This is a clear violation of mandated Peace terms.

You don't know what you're talking about. It's the difference between what things ARE and what they are CALLED.

Dont consider being tired of Israel's antics as antisemitism. That's a big cop out.

Siding against Israel is siding with those who seek another genocide of the Jews. Denying that is THE "big cop out".

No one is out to get the Jews anymore. Would you be surprised that (most of) the Israeli and Jew friends I have are in support of Palestine state.

So does the Israeli gov't. The difference is, the Israelis seek a Palestinian state alongside Israel, whereas the official Arab position, reinforced by decades of education enforced by terror against fellow Arabs, is to seek a Palestinian state instead of Israel.

The balance of power is definitely shifting from the west o he east, soon Israel will become insignificant as the US power wears down.....

You might want to re-think what you wrote here and consider whether or not it makes sense. This is 2014, not 1974.

Israel recieves 3.1 billion dollars of US aid per year and has been getting it since its inception

 

[ResurgentIran]

Israel is a garrison state. Its an ethnocratic apartheid that lives by the sword.
History will not show more mercy to Israel than it did to South Africa.
History shows that those who live by the sword, die by the sword.

Israel is simply politically unsustainable, over the longer term.

Zionists do not represent Jews bro do not forget that.

We already went over this before but since 1973 war Israel has relied on America to protect its interests which include a yearly aid package ($$) and maintaining a quantitative military edge over all its neighbors. It's own leader say they need that aid to survive but you want everyone to believe it makes little difference?
