    Seriously, the IDF is hardly a professional military at this point, in most ways it is simply a formalized institution for ethnic cleansing using expensive military equipment they are given as handouts by the US military.

    The IDF does not even follow basic rules of engagement, they see a civilian, have impulse feelings about it and then shoot. No threat analysis, no consideration over whether lethal force is necessary by a chain of command and absolutely NO accountability for blatant horrific war crimes. The IDF is not a military, it is a bunch of murderers wearing military fatigues.

      My understanding is that they absolutely get their shit pushed in when they can’t hide behind their airplanes and have to fight armed adversaries in face-to-face combat.

        Oct 7th offensive was only turned around when gunships showed up. “The best most badass armed forces” in one of the most fortified and militarized region on earth were utterly destroyed by guys with trucks and AKs.

        The myth of the IDF being elite and uniquely brave is one of the biggest dog shit lies ever told.
