Morality aside, are they any good?
They are chiefly bitch basic conscripts.
>>64371398I mean, they've fought half a dozen wars while being surrounded and won all of them.
>>64371407They cheated in those so those don't count
>>64371398The ground forces, while having gucci gear and some great SF's, is mostly meh since they are mostly a conscript army, the airforce is alot better.
>>64371398the best
thier military has lots of experience but they are also just worthless at hearts and minds.
>>64371398They're better than anyone they've fought so, kinda yeah
>>64371407>half a dozen wars while being surrounded and won all of them.A true statement, but grain of salt here.>>64371418Regionally.>>64371426All that matters, right?
>>64371425>just worthless at hearts and minds.They have taken the Hamas thing a bridge too far. But, hey, >Let My People Go! - God
>>64371398I can't find the article now (And I'm pretty sure the article was Israeli itself) but their discipline problem is so bad that they have administrative jargon to justify and explain away conscripts firing entire belts of machine gun ammo into the tarmac for stress relief. That shit is not how any modern Western military would act. If you look at prior conflicts you'll find reports of the same kind of behaviour. Literally the type of shit this board would crucify Russians for doing.>>64371407>>64371426Libya lost against fucking Chad, Saudis have been tied down in Yemen for over a decade, Egyptians fucked a basic hostage rescue so bad their special forces ended up getting fucked up by Cypriot police. I think it's more to do with the fact that Arabs are really fucking incompetent.
>>64371410how can you cheat in a war lmao
>>64371440>Let My People Go! - GodSomewhere at Gaza an IDF drone is blasting this.
>>64371462By violating the Hague conventions?
>>64371435>All that matters, right?Unironically, yes. As much corruption and nepotism and waste there is in the DoD, it's miles ahead of Russia and China. Which is what matters in the end.
>>64371462By not playing by "da rulez", and don't giving a shit about what the people who want you dead say I guess.Historians have pointed out western society is an anomaly on this regard, previous rules were organic, you spared people to sell them as hostages and slaves and avoided infrastructure damage so your own troops could take it for their own benefit, not because some academics back home thought it was nice.
>>64371449>I think it's more to do with the fact that Arabs are really fucking incompetent.I don't disagree with you.
>>64371407Being the most competent army in the middle east is like being the tallest midget or the smartest retard.
yeah
>>64371398The ones where they killed a white flag waving naked hostage is such a fuckup of epic proportion that mere incompetence cannot explain that kind of shit away.Then again I doubt any other countries would fare any better at all mentally and not mass produce psychopaths if they are surrounded for decades by near peer hostile nations that attempted genocide on them quince with sixth chimp-out occurring. I for one would love to see these obese larpers in picrel operate under similar pressure.
>>64371398Mostly no. Their air force is where the volunteer careerists go, and as a result its okay, but the land forces and navy are a dumping ground for the brown Mizrahim conscripts.
>>64371577>The ones where they killed a white flag waving naked hostageAmericans did Waco, Russians did Beslan, hostage situations are always shit.
>>64371629nta but none of these countries you've just mentioned has something like the hannibal directive.
>>64371654they aren't risk of actual extinction either
>>64371658?
>>64371661They have strategic depth, large reserves and enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire world, Israel was in a state of siege since day 1.
>>64371499>>64371503All Is Fair in Love and War
>>64371398The ground forces are probably alright by the metrics of an overwhelmingly conscript/reservist army organized around defending the home country from another invading army. But they're not an all professional force suited for expeditionary warfare or drawn out police actions. Like what the Gaza war has turned into due to Bibi being more interested in staying out of prison than concluding the war in some manner. Hence the recent showing being pretty meh, but far from Chechen war tier bad.As others have mentioned, the air-force is the actual professional arm of the IDF who have their shit together. See the 12 day war where Iran got their asses SEADed/DEADed real bad.
>>64371398>Morality aside, are they any good?https://youtu.be/SV4ptfyaQFA
>>64371499I wasn't aware that ragheads followed the Hague conventions
>>64371435globally
>>64371398Dogshit India tier military with a bunch of fancy toys that Uncle Sam pays for. Would get fucked within a month by far smaller forces without endless American support. Airforce only looks good by virtue of fighting people without air defense, was basically useless against Iran despite the perfidious surprise attack so they begged for a ceasefire.>>64371503How pathetic is it that they keep failing despite not abiding by any civilized convention for war?
>>64371407yeah and if I ran around sucker punching emaciated homeless people I could call myself a champion street fighter, sure let's go with your faggot clown logic.
>>64371462By getting real time satellite photos, intelligence and infinite aid from the US
Conscript level should entertain Hegethian reforms to enforce discipline and morale and airforce should be less reliant on the RAF and the US
>>64372578Kegseth is a retard, but you can't enforce discipline and moral onto the IDF to make them stop behaving like a bunch of thugs all the time because they would quite literally revolt. There were literal riots on bases when an IDF soldier was arrested for violently sodomizing a Palestinian prisoner on camera so they dropped the charges and released him. How well do you think trying to get them to stop wearing woman's clothing or gunning down civilians will go?
>>64372401>they're shit! They're only winning because they're cheating!I'm surprised by how well you proved his point without trying to be ironic
>>64372624I meant a very basic don't let conscripts smoke hashish in their barracks. Enough discipline so they can be entrusted to have live guns around so they don't get blindsided by an attackThe content of your post is the consequence of the IDF becoming a Mizrahi army
>>64371425They think we are slaves and chattel so they don't give a fuck about hearts and minds
>>64371499As if you ragheads followed those?
>>64371499which convention?
>>64372632>Help us America! We need more aide right now! We're winning!Who do you think you're fooling?
>>64372792
>>64372792Maybe next time Iran will actually put a competent puppet in Syria or Lebanon, and not actively agitate the situation by trying to shut down international trade via attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea. And of course not cry like a bitch when you get punched back.
>>64371398Only when fighting against women and children, lmao>6 days wars n sheeeitYes CIA operatives and gorillions in foreign aid plus best western weapons help alot.
How did that saying go again? don't start fights you can't afford to lose?
>>64371580Heard a WW2 saying that the US army was a eugenics program where spics, hicks and micks were sent to the infantry meatgrinder and the better off wasps or educated micks (See JFK) went navy, army air force ect.I think you're right though - the days of the army being the darling and Moshe Dayan and so on is long gone. But aside of the blunder of october 7th that's not a huge deal. THey aren't going to be facing tank wars from syria and Egypt any longer>>64372624As I recall the riot was also because of the settler jewjihadists. The 8th decade curse might be avoided with the peace deal calming things down but given the radicals want lebenstraum in Gaza it'll probably inflame them further. And before some schizo comes in with the 8th decade curse being some koranimal propaganda I got it from https://mizrachi.org/hamizrachi/the-curse-of-the-eighth-decade/The 8th decade curse also doesn't mean it vanishes as they survived for a couple more centuries after Solomon (If he existed), it just means that the good halcyon days are over and it's more disunited, divided and rough going from here. And given the intransigent division in Israel is not going to go away nor did the greatest disaster since the holocaust pave it over, the curse is pretty much guaranteed. It's just copium by Muslims to be "They'll be defeated" as that didn't happen in the prior curses.
>>64371398Their pilots and spies are great, their infantry are pretty shit.>>64371407They have had lend lease on steroids the whole time including dirrect intervention by the US AF.
>>64371398Yes
>>64372826Who was the one to beg for a ceasefire in that war again?>>64372828>Perfidious unprovoked surprise attacks that intentionally target negotiators is okay when we do itThird world mentality.
>>64372624>Kegseth is a retard, but you can't enforce discipline and moral onto the IDF to make them stop behaving like a bunch of thugs all the time because they would quite literally revolt.I mean say what you will about Israeli discipline, they aren't fat. He doesn't like fat troops, but I don't even see fat people whenever I see news about Israel. All the fatties are in Gaza. I wouldn't want to go to the beach in Tel Aviv, I'd feel like such a piece of shit.https://youtu.be/Rqi1XkF30F4
>>64372863The WW2 US initially used the infantry as a dumping ground. Once they had more combat experience they realized it was a stupid idea, recanted and started funneling smarter men into the infantry.Ironically, the army air force bomber crews were the highest casualty unit.
>>64372524In contrast the other side was given the same type of support by the soviets / all of the arab world so the cheat codes were neutralized
>>64371577those new PT standards are going to kill these ppl
>>64371398>>64371407Motivation is king.“I’m either dying with a rifle in my hands. Or that pack of Arabs chanting for genocide will take out my entire town”And on the other side of the conflict is a bunch of inbred conscripts that really don’t want to be there. And hate their semi-royal officers almost as much as they hate Jews.I will say things got a lot easier for them once the Samson option was under the table. Instead of demanding $20B like Pakistan, Israel wanted access to modern weapons platforms and opened itself up as a replacement for Nevada’s desert weapons testing grounds in return.
>>64374187Not even remotely close. The USSR sold them weapons (like they did ANYBODY who wasn't in NATO) and may have possibly had a squadron fly sorties. In contrast, the US provided Israel unholy amounts of military hardware for next to nothing, and went absolutely batshit on anybody who didn't support them in the diplomatic arena. It was so egregious that middle eastern countries whose economies relied on selling the US oil boycotted us over it.
>>64371407I hate this cope so much>"Muh Israel is so good cause they beat all their neighbors at once"It's like a kid bragging that he beat up six other kids at the same time, except he leaves out the part where his UFC fighter dad had been giving him roids for months beforehand and was standing in the corner threatening to curbstomp anybody who got too many of their own hits in.
>>64371398They took a big fat shit on the Ayatollah's lawn without losing a single aircraft, so yeah I'd say they're pretty good.
>>64371921>>64372700What Arab countries committed genocide?
>>64375082Almost all of them expelled their entire Jewish populations to Israel after the 1948 war.Iraqis committed genocide against Kurds and Marsh Arabs.All sorts of people were massacring civilians during the Syrian civil warSyrians begun massacring Alawites and Druze right after they overthrew bashart.Sudanese have been carrying out a genocide in Darfur for years.In PA-controlled "palestine" Christianity has been declining year after year.
The Israeli military did well in the six days war, though it does seem the Arab powers weren't actively preparing for war but bluffing to keep up the charade for the populace. They were motivated, used their equipment well and decently trained. In '73 the Israelis performed extremely poorly, being surprised by the Egyptian and Syrian attacks. The Egyptians did extremely well in Sinai with their AAA umbrella shooting down Israeli jets and the Egyptian infantry destroying Israeli armor with TOW missiles. The Egyptians eventually lost due to Arab politics and left their AAA umbrella to relieve the pressure on the Syrians. The Syrians performed well in the beginning but just couldn't manage taking the Golan heights before Israeli reinforcements arrived. The Yom Kippur war was deeply traumatic for Israel and shattered their myth of invisibility, leading to poor performances on Lebanon and Gaza (the previous conflict). In the current conflicts they've managed to knock out the Iranian paper tiger, bloodied Hezbollah and Hamas, though at a great cost to their morale once again. Most conscripts don't enjoy shooting women and children, many suffer from PTSD and suicides have increased.The biggest issue is that Semites (Jews and Arabs) are bloodthirsty savages incapable of reason, empathy and logic. So they're continuously locked in cycles of revenge and atrocity.
>>64374585>its not a big deal that all of our armies was entirely soviet equipment and the soviets directly fought during the war of attrition, kuffar
>>64375082Just in the past century alone. This isn't even counting all that shit from centuries past. How do you think Arabs became the majority population all the way out to fucking Morocco, which is about as far from the Arabian Peninsula as you can get?
>>64375127Heard a story that there was still one jew in Baghdad but he didnt want to go to Israel because he would have had to pay his wife's divorce settlement.
>>64375127>jews create their own state>jews get told to go live in their own state>oy vey it's an other shoa!
>>64375165>whine about jews stealing muh land and building a state on it>expel jews there and make it more powerful
>>64375177annon all semitic peoples are gay retards that do nothing but complain>you kicked us out!>you took our land!it's the same nasal bitching in the background
>>64375199israelis aren't complaining
>>64375209>jews >not complaining hahahahahahahaha that's a good one annon
>>64375213It's not 1940, Jews aren't the ones complaining now.
>>64375209
>>64375221Really? So what are the ADL and SPLC all about then?
>>64375223>jew with cartman as his avatar
>>64375127Mossad did false flag attacks on Arab Jewish communities to encourage aliyah.
>>64373352>47k vs. 1.2kI'd say they got thier asses whipped like a fat little bitch.
>>64375447Better double upnl the tinfoil buddy.
>>64375101>>64375127>random ramblingSo no genocide then.
>>64375511Avi Shlaim said that's the case and he's an Israeli Jew historian from Iraq who checked the archives. But yeah, schizo shit.
Morality Aside, they had a pretty golden era from 1948-1973.I think since transitioning to Low Intensity Conflict has kinda of cucked them since then and im not sure how well they would do in another conventional war. That being said, I think its undeniable that their air-force, cyber, and intelligence apparatus are all pretty competent (aside from a few major intelligence failures which are blots on their otherwise great track record).Then again, they are fighting Arabs.
>>64375636You are correct.
>>64375636>undeniable that their air-force, cyber, and intelligence apparatus are all pretty competentMore like world class. Truxnet and the pager scheme were awesome.
Infantry is good but within western standards, Special forces are elite for sure but what gives Israel the mythical status are the Mossad and IAF, Arguably two of the most competent and professional organizations in human history.
>>64371398Their air force is one of the best in the world, no clue about the rest.
They must be good enough considering Hamas just agreed to disarm and accept that they’ll play no role in the new Gaza government.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70155nked7o
>>64378188>88Didnt expect Adolf to give this much credit to kikes
>>64375154That story was from Afghanistan and he did recently move to Israel after resisting for a long time.
>>64375660Stuxnet was mainly possible because the centrifuges Iran uses are copies of the centrifuges Pakistan uses which are also the same centrifuges Israel uses.(All of which are copies of a fr*nch reactor)Israel could test their malware on their own reactors because Iran was using the same equipment.Impressive, but not as much of a hat trick as people would think. Mostly possible due to circumstance and the availability to test.The pager supply chain attack was genuinely clever however, I’ll certainly give them that.
>>64375082and neither has israel so idk what you're on about
>>64379511Show me video of you spitting on the torah right now to prove you aren't a kike
>>64373316>Ironically, the army air force bomber crews were the highest casualty unit.Submariners were the highest loss rate. Bomber crews were up there though. Idk about ACC but for Navy CAWs a casualty rate of about 25% was expected for decisive engagements.
>>64379609I thought the merchant marine had the highest loss percentages.
>>64371398Tens of thousands of dead civilians and children screams incompetence if they're going to claim they're the most moral army in the world. Take the morality out and still no. The number of dead Hamas fighters vs civilians is atrocious in a modern war from a supposedly western aligned """ally""" they should thank motha fuckin yahweh that they have more than enough thralls in the us government to save their asses when they get into trouble.
>>64375511Yeah better double on that tinfoil, USS liberty? Or do you believe the lying, subversive government of Israel over US service members that survived that false flag attempt?
>>64379634Fun fact: less than 1% of the casualties in Ukraine are from children. In Gaza, that number is 33%.
>>64379644They really want us to pretend shit like the Lavon Affair never happened, or that Operation Susannah was only such operation of its kind.
>>64379656Or the Iran contras affair. There are shills on this board right now that adamantly believe that bibi would never fund Hamas and totally didn't want this war to pop off, no sir. Even with all these precedents set, they still don't believe and argue against it. Must be bots, JIDF or useful idiots. Who knows anymore
>>64379840Iran-Contra is right up there with Operation Gladio as far "illuminating events" go. It's not even that those situations were particularly unique and egregious when it comes to AmerIsraeli skullduggery and scheming, but that the facts of those situations actually came to light when so many of these operations remain hidden forever.
>>64379844It's all so very, very tiresome.
>>64379851I find it quite energizing. I'm going into the future with my Eyes Wide Open.
>>64379860Great channel. Blowback Podcast is also good, but more overtly political.
>>64379862based fellow parapolitics enjoyer. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
>>64379644>b.b.but
>>64379634I'd like to see you cleanly fight a war in a bigass city against a deeply entrenched opponent.
>>64379936>warA war is between two armies. This is the US military using the Israeli military as a proxy to destroy a civilian population for the purposes of land and resource acquisition.
>>64379946And in your theory, the U.S. gains?
>>64379953The people who own our economy and government get beachfront property and sweet sweet oil.
>>64379960annon most of the Israeli coastline isn't even developed for tourismnor is there oil to be had there
>>64379975>Oil and natural gas resources in the occupied Palestinian territory could generate hundreds of billions of dollars for development.https://unctad.org/news/unrealized-potential-palestinian-oil-and-gas-reserves
>>64379946It's because of the Scofield bible. I thought it was a retarded conspiracy theory at first, but that's actually the reason the US is so submissive to Israel and jews in general.
>>64379982It's also because of all the faggot philosemitic freemasons involved in building this country, but that's a conversation for another thread.
>>64379619No but it was higher than you might expect. Probably did have the highest rate if you narrow it to just Mariners on tankers and for the first 12 months of the war. It dropped pretty sharply after that though
>>64371462>anon doesnt know what war crimes areYou must be at least 18 to post here.
>>64373020By the time they got their first lend-lease, Finnish peacekeepers were already protecting the Egyptian main force from them, and their tanks were already on the outskirts of Damascus.>>64375101>Iraqis committed genocide against Kurds and Marsh Arabs.>All sorts of people were massacring civilians during the Syrian civil war>Syrians begun massacring Alawites and Druze right after they overthrew bashart.>Sudanese have been carrying out a genocide in Darfur for years.>In PA-controlled "palestine" Christianity has been declining year after year.
>>64380972nigger, if we're gonna talk war crimes, maybe your raghead retards shouldn't have decided to just kill whatever random civilians were in their way during their initial chimpout. Only bleeding hearts give a fuck about the consequences of those actions lol, don't start fights you can't afford to lose
>>64371449>firing entire belts of machine gun ammo into the tarmac for stress reliefIdk nigga when i was in the caf we’d do that shit with the c9s. Then again that was back when canada could afford ammo kek
>>64371449>>64371572This anon >>64375117 beat me to it but I'm greentexting this quote from Leonid Brezhnez in the aftermath of the Yom Kippur War cause no other quote best sums up Arab incompetence.>We have offered them (the Arabs) a sensible way for so many years. But no, they wanted to fight. Fine! We gave them technology, the latest, the kind even Vietnam didn't have. They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, "Save me!" He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them.

>>64371398>Commit basically every war crime on the books>Fail to clear ONE city despite two years of fightingYeah, great fucking job. Action should be bold and leadership focused at achieving specific goals forwarding strategic aims. In this, they have failed. Their risk-averseness borders on cowardice, and the hence wasted time has cost them the patience of the world.Just as the Austrians wasted their window of opportunity in 1914, relying blindly on the guarantees of Germany. Such indecisiveness and arrogance leads to downfall.
>>64375636>Mossad>competentBruh, they're fucking idiots. Explain the Yom Kippur war and Hamas invading.

>>64375127You do realize that immigration to Israel was actively encouraged and paid for by Israel, right? Your map is exactly what Israel wanted to happen.
