    Now that NATO has depleted itself in Ukraine, it’s a question of how much actual support can even be provided to Israel. The reality is that Israel doesn’t have a huge industrial base of its own the way Russia does, and if they end up getting mired in Gaza, they will quickly run through their existing stocks of weapons at which point they could see themselves in an operational crisis. We might actually see Palestine finally freed at the end of all this.

    Unironically big if true. If the resistance’s homebrew weapon production can outproduce Israeli arm industry in the long run, even by a little, there is no way Israel will hold.

      There already huge stockpiles of weapons in Gaza, so I don’t think there even needs to be active production. People are speculating that Israel already lost hundreds of tanks in just a month, and having seen a bunch of videos of RPGs being used successfully I think that’s very plausible. Urban environment is absolutely terrible for tanks because you can have a guy with an RPG hiding in every building, and it’s impossible to see them until it’s too late. There are even videos of guys running right up to the tanks to put explosives right on them. This is how bad situational awareness is for Israelis. Such rate of loss is absolutely unsustainable. Each tank takes millions of dollars and many months to produce, and if it can be blown to shit with using cheap RPGs that’s a total clusterfuck from Israeli perspective.

      Yemen is also becoming a big problem for Israel because they’re attacking shipping, and Israeli economy is already under stress from the war because they had to mobilize a bunch of people. It’s entirely possible that Israel is headed for an economic crash in the near future. It seems like this was a huge miscalculation by the zionists, and they don’t really have any real plan now.
