Why Israel is (and ALWAYS Will Be!) an Underdog in the Middle East
It's not Just HAMAS - Israel is Surrounded by Powerful Enemies
Woke HAMAS apologists claim that Israel with all its modern military technology and Western support, is far more powerful than HAMAS, and, hence, it is HAMAS and Palestine who is an underdog and a victim in this conflict. That would have been true if it indeed was ONLY between Israel and Palestine. If, however, you look at other powerful Islamist enemies of Israel - from Hezbollah and Taliban to Syria and Iran - then picture changes drastically, isn't it?
HAMAS itself indeed is neither an existential threat nor a serious problem for Israel. If Israel wanted, it could have easily swatted this annoying mosquito for good - it has enough military capacities to do that. The problem is, however, that HAMAS is openly supported by above mentioned powers - Hezbollah, Taliban, Syria and Iran. Moreover, INDIRECTLY HAMAS is supported by ALL Islamic countries by extension including such powerful ones as Turkey and Saudi Arabia. Hence, Israel is surrounded by powerful enemies all around.
Some might object that for example Saudi Arabia and United Arabic Emirates are kinda Israeli allies. Yeah, nominally, purely for pragmatic reasons and because of American authority. In their essence, however, being fundamentalist Islamist states, both Saudis and UAE perceive Israel as an ideological enemy, and, hence, secretly support their 'Muslim brothers' from HAMAS and Palestine. Hence, Israel has NO TRUE ALLIES around it whatsoever! All Israeli allies - Western countries - are far away, while its enemies are close. See the problem?
This is what Western Woke Lefties fail to understand. Israel was ALWAYS an alien state and an enemy for Arabs and Muslims. They all are united by the same ethnicity, religion and culture (despite some religious disagreements between Saudis and Iranians, they're still closer to each other than to Jewish state of Israel) while Israel with its Judaism and Jewish culture is a complete alien for them.
Alien is not yet necessarily an enemy, but because Arabs believe that Israel was taking their land away from them with support of the powerful West whom they hate, then Israel was turned into 100% mortal enemy as well. That's why all Islamic countries who stand for each other and stick to each other like a glue, always condemn Israel so unanimously in UN. And Western people fail to understand that.
Alright, perhaps Israel is all alone in the Middle East indeed, Wokesters would concede, but it still has all its modern technology and all Western support? Really? Well, how much help all Israeli 'super technology' like the Iron Dome or all its 'best ever' Intelligence was for it during latest HAMAS attack? Israeli Intelligence completely failed to foresee this attack, and the Iron Dome completely failed to save Israeli civilians from HAMAS rockets. Can Israeli technology be so much relied upon then?
What next now, Western - or American, to be more precise - support? Well, US are far away behind the ocean while Israeli enemies are close, as I had already said. Moreover, US are pretty busy in Ukraine and are also already preparing for next year Presidential race. So, US might not be such a solid support for Israel now either. Also, if we remember at disastrous American exodus from Afghanistan two years ago, HOW MUCH US support and obligations are worth in truth? Not much it seems.
All this makes Israeli position in the Middle East far more precarious than Western people and perhaps more than Israelites themselves believe. Again, HAMAS is not a problem per se. Israel has enough power to completely destroy it on its own. However, what if Hezbollah would join attack from the North as it already declared it would? What if Taliban would send their fighters via Iran and Syria? Then Israel might actually fall. Without American support at least - and I'm not sure US could provide a decent support for it now.
And if Israel would fall under joint HAMAS, Hezbollah and Taliban attack, WHAT do you think would happen to millions of Jewish people living there? HAMAS terrorists already made their intentions clear: 'to cut all Jewish hearts out of their chests'. Taliban and Hezbollah would gladly help them with it. And then we'd officially have a new Holocaust.
That's why it's SO ESSENTIAL that ALL the West would unanimously support Israel. Condoning to HAMAS terrorists was always bad but now it is also pretty dangerous because it might result in a new Holocaust, quite literally.
