Israel beats seven countries....It has less population.It has power.
lol....you want to say that whole population goes to fight war...the country that have larger population will win.....what a theory!!!....
israel can do that because the other countries are also weak powers.
if israel went to war with an EAST ASIAN or EUROPEAN country, you know, an industrialized country with large population, i can guarentee that it will be wiped off the map. britain can do so.
yes, population doesn't matter if you're in the stone age like most of the arab countries. but if your country at least has the capability to compete, then population means everything. heres an example:
usually 1 soldier, needs at least 10 people doing support work for him. working in factories, doing logistics, keeping hte country running, etc. this is true for every country that makes its own weapons! if a country buys weapons, it can violate this rule, the exchange is that it's armed forces size is limited not by population but by cash and political allies (this is the case of israel, which can arm its whole population, have very few people actually work unrelated to the military, and still survive since it gets donations from USA; this is also how North Vietnam beat the US; it recieved massive donations from China).
the larger the population, the more soldiers can be fielded, or alternatively, the more INDUSTRY is avaliable for equal soldiers. that means more planes, more guns, more tanks, and more people to use it all.
more people also means more ability to create wealth. the ability of a person to make money and ideas goes up expotentially with the number of people that work together. you can't make a car factory with 5 people.
