Turks control large areas of Syria and have a lot of influence with the new regime. Israel does not. Israel will have a very difficult time doing anything against Turkey. Turkey is very important ally of the US. Without those bases in Turkey(and NATO) the US will have a very hard time bailing Israel out when Israel f’s up again. If you notice no US planes fly out of Israel. Iran is more of an ally vs Israel. |
First world economy with no oil just welfare handouts. Middle Age philosophy is why they don’t have a negative birth rate |
Israel can rely somewhat on the Greeks and the Saudis. The Greeks and the Saudis are insecure over the Turks’ Neo-Ottomanism wanting a new Ottoman Empire. They are also insecure over Iranians and feel they should continue to run the Islamic world. Not sure why, they did nothing but damage from the time they aligned with the Brits in WW1 to turn on the Ottomans but Israel and the Al Saud monarchy know they came up together so they go down together so they have to work together to avoid mutual destruction |
ISIS was secretly funded by the US, makes millions of dollars monthly selling oil including to the US, and pays their “fighters” tons of dough (certainly more than the US pay our military). If they were a country, they would be one of the most successful in the Me which is insane. They have opened up hotels just like Trump (Trump took credit for inspiring them in a joke). It’s not a joke. ISIS has killed these poor ancient Christians in the Levant more than any other time in recent or ancient history and they’ve blown up mosques too and killed more Muslims than the American military in the Iraq and Afghanistan war combined. Thanks to ISIS in Libya and Syria/Iraq, a huge mass migration has also changed Europe. You can tie the thread all to the United States and then you can connect the dots from there and see all the above benefits only one actor |
