If the US and West cut support, could Israel actually continue the war?

No but yes. Israel would run out of 'dome defense' so they need us desperately. But... yes... they CAN continue with "cheap not precise weapons" so! INSTEAD of now: blow up "just the third floor where enemy lives", they would use cheaper stuff! To aim at the terrorist's building and inadvertently kill everyone in the building. Therefore! wouldn't you rather we give them money and precision missiles?

Sanctions combined with a suspension of all US economic and military aid would allow say, the US and Europe to bring Israel to their knees pretty quickly. Israel is a small country with no real friends in their region. But quickly is a relative term. Maybe 1-2 years. Netanyahu really needs to be removed since we love regime change so much.

Israel is a very wealthy prosperous nation. They dont have half the resources their neighbours do yet out perform them on every level.

Israel is one of the few countries who's boarders can be spotted from space because its green in the desert.

Yeah, they have their own domestic weapons manufacturers and their own allies.

[DryGermanGuy]

On a smaller scale, yes. They have a large domestic defense industry.

[888theGreat]

Not for long. They would have to conserve their weapons. Now they could be actually invaded for all the crap and wars they started.

[CrystalPeak]

Yes, but it would involve nukes.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Nope, they rely entirely on US support

[DryGermanGuy]

They don't:

Eh, that’s what I get for not looking into it myself 🤷🏼‍♀️

[In_Trance]

Not a chance.

[Jeff51]
