Oh hey look what’s peeking from beneath the fog it’s the real purpose of the state of Israel!

To serve as a giant western military base creating a perpetually active war zone in which they can test out weapon technologies and even innovate new ones!

I feel like Israel doesn't really serve much of a purpose as a military testing facility. All they do is snipe 5 year old kids and get their tanks blown up by a dude on literal flip flops walking up to it and throwing in a mine. Even their iron dome is utterly worthless and gets demolished by Hamas who just overwhelms it with garbage rockets costing 100x less.

Europe had a very strong arms industry until they decided to outsource all their production to America and Israel. The stuff Israel offers really isn't that impressive. 90% of Israel's military capabilities is throwing American bombs on hospitals with American F35's.

I mean, they aren't JUST shooting 5 year olds in gaza. They're killing people in all of their neighboring countries too.
