Do you think Israel is powerful enough to defend herself from falling in the next several years?

Well you premise is wrong first of all

And I know that most of the Jews (not from Israel) reject the Jewish state, and so again not all of the Jews will be on Israel's side.

Last time I have checked Zionism in Europe has increased. In the last three years alot of French Jews, Russian Jews, and Jews from the UK have immigrated to Israel. In America Jewish agencies raise millions of dollars for Israel.

When I was in Israel during the Lebanon war I have seen over 200 Jews come from different nations to volunteer for the Nahal program. American orthodox Jews send their children to Israeli yeshivas every year.

Now to your question: Israel will survive and so will Judaism. For as long as the Jewish heart beats Judaism and Israel will survive. I once met a man who discovered that in 1490's his relatives were Jewish (he was a Morrano). Now this same man has returned to Judaism and is now a Lieutenant in the IDF (he is 29 years old) and has three daughters.

I said it before and I will say it again:

Latest article I read suggests about 13 more years to go.

Most Jews living outside of Israel support the state of Israel - I don't know what Jews are talking about - but the Jews I know outside of Israel do not reject it. As to Israel being nuked by an Arab country that would be suide for them and they know it. As for Hamas or Hizbollah using a nuclear option it would only kill some of their own as well and would lead to a war that would destroy them - and they know it. That would leave the war desolate and undesirable to anyone. What these other are trying to do is make leaving in Israel undiserable to Israel so that the Jews leave - and they have been trying to do that for over a century now - and it still does not work.

Its not an issue of Israel's power as much as when will the Arab except coexistance and then things we really be a world of peace.

Good Luck!!!

if a war is going to happen between all of those parties,it would be WW 3
Israel will hang on longer as i guess,coz lets check facts,Israel is the 3d nuclear country in the world,it has more nucs that France,soo go figure!!!

You are thinking in highly exaggerated or catastrophic terms. In the first place your governement has the world's sixth largest nuclear arsenal; an Iran with an arsenal of five or six warheads would obviously not attack; they wish to possess such arms as a deterrent,since at the least it would give them the power of relation although they would obviously still lose in any nuclear exchange. Hamas does not posses anything remotely approaching the armaments of the IDF; they don't even have a single jet or bomber. Neither does Hezbollah. You say there are "hundreds of millions of Arabs" as though they were a unified mass; they are fraught with disunion. As to the last only a fraction of a per cent of jews do not support zionism. You are also ignoring the fact that a zionist is anyone who supports the current jewish state; their own ethnicty has nothing to do with it. The vast majority of zionists are Christians. The level of support for zionism is invariably high with Christians and with Christian nations,but admittedly otherwise low. Your government has not - going back all the way to 1948 - treated the Palestinians the way the Anglo-Saxons of New Zealand have treated the Maori ( they have the north half of the island) or to cite another example the way the Finns have treated the Laplanders. If these people had attempted to drive out non-Ango-Saxons or Finns - and driving out the Plaesitinians has always been the zionist agenda - I'm sure they would have responded the same. It is the Arab world that has much to fear from your goverment; it has repeatedly invaded neighboring states,annexing large amounts of territory and engaged in pervasive bombing campaigns,particularly in Lebanon. Your government is considered virtually the most aggressive and militaristic government on earth and it is very,very heavily armed. Add to the this the numerous occassions on which the US has invaded and occupied Arab states for the sake of your government's "security" and you should have no trouble understanding why non-zionists regard your goverment as at least as dangerous as the Third Reich circa 1939. Your people have the capability of destroying all the life on this planet many times over and it is not rare for your people to express a willingness to do so should they ever feel "threatened" enough. This is rather worrisome when you consider how little it takes - if indeed anything at all - to make them feel threatened. You are afraid of kassem bombs that have taken six lives in six years while the IDF demolished southern Lebanon from the air in 2006. You are a classic product of what author David Bialle in his 1986 study of jewish-power concepts described as the "fear psychosis" that your government has imbued it's people with. The fears you are expressing are entirely irrational.

South Africa was more powerful than Israel by far.

Israel was doing fine when it had fewer jews and less land, the only thing in Israels way is corrupt politicians.

And I don't know where you got the idea that Jews outside Israel reject it. Just because a Jew lives in another country dousnt mean they hate Israel.

Jasmine

If America would stop giving israel more money than they give all of Africa, then yes maybe, and then everybody can live in PALESTINE peacefully, Christians, Muslims, and jews.
But as long as the current situation stays where it is=No Peace.

Bosco

I hope not. But yes,probably,thanks to the US.

Galahad

Sure,not that that's a good thing. Palestine for the Palestinians!

Israel will survive as long as the United States government keeps sending billions of dollars in aid each year.If Israel had to stand on its own,it couldn't.Israel would fall flat on its face like a drunken sailor on Saturday night.Aren't we Americans supposed to receive some divine blessings for supporting Israel?I have noticed any though.

Whoo!

We'll always be around.

Raoul I

Anything is possible with extremists in possession of WMD.
I am not worried, though. Israel has more than 1 type of option for 2nd strike nuclear response.
So, Iran won't have to worry about being asked for reparations by Jewish Institutions, since there won't be any Iran.

Brynn

Yes. For the next several years. But by then the Hundred of Million of Arabs will be ready to start their long-delayed Secret Plot to throw all the jews into the sea. It all sounds very catastrophic to me. Especially when you consider how American jews suffer under the lash and burden of participating in a multicultural democracy. Horrors! I can't even imagine. Thank the devil for that nuclear arsenal- you can always get even with the world ( gentiles) by nuking them .

Don't fret about Israel. They have as much technology (if not more) than the U.S. And if I recall my studies about Israel correctly, the Bible states that once they are restored as a nation (1948) they will never taste defeat again.---------Shalom

The country itself wont have to. It is Gods chosen land and
who ever or what ever comes up against it will suffer the
wrath of GOD - just as in the bible .... the whole world better
take heed when and if someone does attempt to take over
Israel

J.driven

When Israel reaches a point they aren't strong enough to defend themselves God Himself will take over. As He has said He would.
Hamas and Hexbo are just nuisances. Iran has nothing to threaten with. Syria has gas warheads and if they can figure out how to load them without killing themselves they will use them someday. Bye Bye Syria.

I think Israel will survive until the end of the world, outlasting Iran and many other muslim countries.

Read Ezekiel 38 for a preview of what's ahead.
