I was amazed how Israel have the best force to defense their country...
I agree, I'm still amazed how well they defend their country with the billions of muslims in the middle east trying to wipe them off the map.
Kudos to Israel...well done.
A combination of facts have helped their survival. The most important ones are:
1. During the first war (1948), a majority of the Israeli soldiers were highly experienced individuals, having served in the armed forces of various European nations. On the other hand, the Arabs hardly had any combat experience.
2. Both the United Nations and the European nations helped Israel, while the Arabs received only mild support from the USSR.
3. Israeli weapons were technically much superior to those the Arabs had.
4. During the wars of 1948, 1967, and 1973, the Israelis were united against the common enemy, while the Arabs failed to put behind their differences.
5. The Israelis are fighting for their survival, while a majority of the Arabs are fighting for more land.
