"5 mlns nation of lazies vs 70 mlns fanatocally enstrenthen nation."

This statement bespeaks a mind completely addled with prejudice and ignorance. It is so at odds with the truth that only a lunatic or a vicious anti-Semite would even half believe it.

"If Israel had the technological advantage like if its foes carried bows and axes then it coul dbe. But when Iran has almost same as Israel and even in bigger amounts then Israel has no chances."

This is utter nonsense. Israel has fought on many occasions when the Arabs have had a far better advantage (as in 1948) or an equal advantage (as in 1967 and 1973) and still come out on top.

The difficulties faced by Israel are a direct result of having to fight a war in which her opponents have absolutely no problem with using civilians as human shields. When your enemy fires missiles from hospitals and builds bunkers directly under schools it becomes incredibly difficult to fight and win - if you are a decent and civilised nation like Israel that is. Israel could not do what Russia did in Chechenya. Russia's armed forces were badly equipped, badly trained, unmotivated, half-starved and none too bright - but they were able to win because they committed indiscriminate slaughter. This is something that neither Israel nor the United States can possibly do.

I do not see the problem with the Arab nations or even Iran or Syria. The problem lies with Russia which is providing arms willy-nilly to nations like Syria and allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons. The greatest threat to Israel and indeed the entire world comes from the ex-KGB thug who is currently running Russia. How bitterly ironic it is that the nation which developed the Pale of Settlement and the pogrom and whose anti-Semitic policies set in train the emigration of millions of Jews should now be so deeply involved in the attempt to destroy the State of Israel.

The "pogroms" wasn't on the territory of Russia but in Ukraine and Moldavia.

The "Pale of Settlement" was developed by czars. It is the document of its times.
Jews in Russia was foreign body but the "multuculturism" ideology was developped 100 year later. Russian Empire wasn't about the "multuculturism" you know. It was Russian not jewish so czar did everything to keep her that way.

But seeing how much wrong did this idea of "multuculturism" on the West I wouldn't comdenm russian czar for refusing multiculturism on jewish example 100 years before.

This is utter nonsense. Israel has fought on many occasions when the Arabs have had a far better advantage (as in 1948) or an equal advantage (as in 1967 and 1973) and still come out on top. ==

As I said, since that Arabs and muslims learned how to fight. So it shall not that easy then before. And given the absense of the thecnological advantage the fight between Israel and Iran is very predictable.

The problem lies with Russia which is providing arms willy-nilly to nations like Syria and allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons. ==

Russia doesn't "supply" no one but provide the ligitimate business. She runs the Gun Fare. Everyone with money may come and buy the guns. She sells to 50+ countries not excusively to Syria and Iran.

BTW Russia hold only 2d position in the world gun trades. Guess who hold 1st position?:) SO Russia has the good example before her eyes.
