I haven’t checked it out at. Thanks for the suggestion :), it might be the dream
Like the arguments in the lecture… sure all of these do benefit Iran but are they truly existential for Israel?
Population collapse. This leaves a more committed or optionless core behind and the diaspora will still be pro-Israel.
Economic collapse. This will hurt for sure but existential? They’ll start centrally directing militarily important parts of the economy and the recent diaspora will support them with remittances. The US will lend-lease them what they need to not collapse. Worst case here their economy starts to look like Lebanon but Lebanon isn’t armed by the US.
Asymmetric cost of war. No doubt Israel can’t sustain the cost of iron dome and Patriot missiles but they’ll adapt. Even the US at the height of its power couldn’t bomb a population into submission. Why will Israel prove different? They’ll start just taking the hits and save the interceptors for important targets and likely they will find a way to make cheaper defense systems and close the asymmetry.
Economic blockade. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan are de facto allies and dogs of the US empire so Israel is not blockaded.
This all weakens Israel dramatically vis a vis Iran but they still overpower the nearby enemies and Israel adjusts to losses and becomes less loss averse, descends into military government.
Like, the existential collapse argument seems to be “their economy implodes, their mythology becomes unmoored, yada yada yada, everyone leaves” and it seems like a leap of faith.
Psyop shit to tarnish the resistance
Posadists get the last laugh
