Israel ranked as eighth most powerful country in the world

Look what they done with a tiny speck of land. Miraculous. That piece of beach, that narrow strip of land, holds no oil, gold, or any other valuable resources. It, however, holds the Jewish people. The Islamic world knows that getting control of that tiny patch of land is meaningless; it is destroying the Jewish state.

The only thing Israel has done wrong has been to give away land in a vain hope for peace and not be tough enough with the genocidal Jew-hating jihadists. If the U.S. can bomb al-Qaeda sites in Afghanistan and Pakistan, why can’t Israel bomb Hamas fighters in Gaza? Israel stands for peace, for freedom, for democracy, and for human rights. Its enemies stand for jihad and the subjugation of the kuffar, and the enslavement of women. This is not a nationalist struggle, it is a jihad, and all the people that want to be free from Islamic law should stand with Israel.

Traditionally, Judaism has taught the importance of peace, the value of study, the centrality of family life, and the necessity of benevolence. Meanwhile, Islam teaches the importance of using physical force to get what one wants, the value of brute strength, polygamy (which reduces women to commodities and destroys the family as we know it), and the necessity of being “harsh” toward the unbelievers (cf. Koran 48:29, 9:123). The Islamic jihadists, far from valuing life, love death, as they themselves say, inflict pain without remorse and lack any respect for other human beings if they are not Muslim.

Therefore the struggle for Israel is the struggle between good and evil, light and darkness, life and death. If Israel dies, one of the primary forces for good in the world will have been overcome by evil, and evil will be that much closer to taking over the world.

The conquest of Israel would indeed be nothing more than the conquest of the good. That piece of beach, that narrow strip of land, holds no oil, gold, or any other valuable resources. It, however, holds the Jewish people. The Islamic world knows that getting control of that tiny patch of land is meaningless; it is getting the Jew out that will be the victory for the forces of evil. However, if the Jew dies, the Muslims will die as well: their survival depends on their constant jihad, because without it they will lose the meaning and purpose of their existence.

 

Israel ranked as eighth most powerful country in the world

World News, July 9, 2018:

An annual survey published by US News and World Report found that Israel was the eighth most powerful country in the world.

By: World Israel News Staff

Israel was ranked as the eighth most powerful country in the world, according to a survey published Saturday by US News and World Report.

The rankings look at the influence of a nation as well as its political, economic and military power. A country’s alliances factor in as does its influence and whether the country is a leader, US News and World Report said in its description of the rankings.

The US was ranked the world’s most powerful country, followed by Russia, China, Germany, Britain, France and Japan.

Israel was ranked after Japan.

The “Most Powerful” list is part of the media organization’s annual “Best Countries” study, which evaluated 80 countries based on responses from 21,000 people.

The “Best Countries” rankings were formed in partnership with global marketing communications company Y&R’s brand strategy firm, BAV Group, and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

They are based on a survey that asked more than 21,000 people from four regions to associate 80 countries with specific attributes.

The Power subranking is based on an equally weighted average of scores from five country attributes that related to a country’s power: a leader, economically influential, politically influential, strong international alliances and strong military alliances.

The Power sub-ranking score had a 7 percent weight in the overall Best Countries ranking.

Actually last month Israel overtook Japan for higher GNP per-capita. Also Israel has now surpassed Sweden in arms production and exports with a similar population.

The “GNP per-capita” difference between JP and Israel might be less a matter of an increase in Israel’s GDP than a decrease in JP’s — because JP has been experiencing negative population growth for decades because the only thing that can’t seem to manufacture anymore is people.

Either way this is huge because Japan was in the top 3 with the US and Germany.

If Israel can somehow invite its pro-islam leftist traitors and those good-for-nothing ‘praying all day’ religious freeloaders to leave, Israel can become the 2nd most powerful country in the world in no time.

Brainpower-wise, Israel is #1.

True IDPH, recently Japans population shrank by 1 million over a 5 year time span. This is common to all advanced industrial countries, what all have to do to maintain stability AND growth is establish slow but sustainable population growth without impoverishing resources. A clever trick when it comes off.

For decades, I heard nothing but “overpopulation” … Then, they made it too expensive to have more than two children. Now, the claim is we NEED immigrants as we’re not producing fast enough. Abject garbage. A shrinking population can make for a very strong economy. There is NO need to have any type of population growth.

As more people leave the workforce in JP and retire there will be less and less people to take their place, which will inevitably lead to economic stagnation if not recession. I don’t know what the implication negative population growth would have for their military forces but I don’t think it would be good.

The Land of the Rising Sun, entered a severe recession, following Desert Storm … population and population growth had nothing to do with it. The military force is very small … there’s more than enough population to double it, without impacting industry. Robotics, improved production methodology, etc., more than pick up the slack of a shrinking population. The “need immigrants”, or “have more babies, makes as much sense as “The Population Bomb”. The same damned blithering idiots have simply switched sides. Although, the overpopulation theory can be rationally argued. Especially with countries that cannot even fend for the ones that they have (think Africa, the subcontinent, such as pakkyland and bangerdouche).

There are limits to how much productivity you can squeeze out of an ever-shrinking workforce.

I wonder how JP’s military stacks up against Israel’s? JP does have a bona fide fleet aircraft carrier (and it’s long overdue that they did), but I don’t know if they even have the naval forces necessary to escort it (guided missile frigates, destroyers, subs etc.). Then again Israel does have nukes.

From Ms. Geller: “Look what they done with a tiny speck of land. Miraculous. That piece of beach, that narrow strip of land, holds no oil, gold, or any other valuable resources .. . ”

Have to disagree with her on one point here. Zion Oil & Gas out of Dallas apparently has a significant oil discovery at the company’s Megiddo-Jezreel #1 well bore, recently have been drilled to its total depth of over 16,000 feet. The company reported encouraging oil shows to undergo production testing. Since it is a tight hole, little information beyond this is available at this time. Can one shout “Hallelujah!”?

My only regret for them is that they didn’t remain a JEWISH country. Their mistake was going secular.

Israel can never hope to match the population numbers of the Islamic world, but here’s the thing, it doesn’t need to,
because of the brains and applied intelligence of the people, the armies of Mo will be defeated because the countries that spawn them will come to Israel for solutions to all their problems. Those countries will need Israel alive and well for their own continued existence and that of their people.

This realisation when it comes will drive some insane with hate, but the majority will become grateful and silent, they’ll be grateful for their own improved life chances thanks to you know who and thus reluctant to go on jihad..

Amazing! Many more countries have more resources and land mass that Japan and Israel PUT TO SHAME.

However, I don’t know what China is doing on the list. That country is soooo cheap anything coming out of there breaks in no time. It’s a phantom phony country.

A video showing there ghost cities falling apart. Held by wire and strings. Even patios fall apart. Shamefool country.

Everything BREAKS there because the people are soooo CHEAP and CHEATS. When war breaks out all their equipment will fall apart.

You’ll see a tank enter the war zone and you’ll see the soldiers come out the other end wearing only underwear. Machinery, clothes, guns, all fall apart. Jets will fall down on their own soldiers, bombs won’t work, grenade levers will snap in half and kill their own soldiers. Missiles will do just that – miss.

Ucking Hillaryous!!

Find something not made in China. Bosch is made in China. Milwaukee Tools are made in China (they’re owned by TEC). DeWalt is made in China. Makita is made in China. Ridgid Is made in China (also owned by TEC), Hitachi is made in China … and the list goes on and on. Moreover, Milwaukee and DeWalt tools, today, are FAR better than when they were US made. Clownton GAVE US missile and satellite technology to China … China can make excellent quality goods, civil and military. What China has been unable to do …. is to develop them (invention, design, engineer). However, with presidents … such as William Jefferson Clownton … they don’t need to.

Yes, the companies under AMERICAN control and funding make good products. Usually the BIG NAMES who have the capital necessary to ensure the Chines follow orders.

But many of these companies now have their technology RIPPED off and hence the millions of Chinese knock-offs that are actually SHODDY goods polluting our land as they have to be thrown away on YOUR soil as many just last a few months to over a year, if you are lucky.

And don’t EVER buy your food or chemicals from them. EVER!

Actually, very few of them are American companies. Milwaukee is owned by TEC (Taiwan) and Ridgid is as well. America just doesn’t make ’em the way that they used to. Labor Unions caused “Made in America”, once a sign of quality … to … well, you know the rest.

What makes this more incredible is the fact 20% of Israel’s population consists of muslum 5th columnists.
I’d be interested in seeing a breakout by religion of crimes committed in Israel for the past thirty years — regardless of any islamofauxbic implications.
