WhatsappSince before the beginning of the State of Israel, Israel has always made it a point to do whatever it needs to do in order to have the military capabilities it needs to fight off it’s enemies. And it has always had to make do with less than it really needed.
Even today when the State of Israel is an economic wonder, it still needs to be able to make modifications on the most sophisticated equipment that it purchases from American companies. It is that edge that often makes the entire difference.
Even when Israel has strong friends in the Oval Office, it can never rely on that situation continuing for more than a few years. When Israel was attacked on October 7th, Joe Biden was in power – to whatever level he was actually calling the shots. In the early days of the war, he actually stood rather firmly alongside Israel. But, within a few months, the Democrat Party in power was clearly stalling on delivering weapons to Israel and was willing to have Israel lose more soldiers due to misplaced morals. The suppopsed “starvation of Hamas women and children,” a hoax that was parroted ad infinitum across the world press, made a deep impact on world opinion and led to wholesale pressure on Israel to allow in food and supplies to the enemy.
Israel’s best friend, the United States of America, occasionally decides to not be such a close friend. And that often happens when Israel needs it’s friends the most. That is why the more that Israel gains independence from it’s friends, the better it’s situation will be. This is a process, and it will take many years before most of Israel’s vital security needs are funded and manufactured in Israel. This is a goal that Prime Minister Netanyahu announced in Congress more than 10 years ago and received a standing ovation for. Friendship is not defined as much on reliance as it is based on shared ideas and morals.
But until that time comes that Israel is more independent, Israel must continue to do the little-big things that give it the competitive advantage on the battlefields.
