From the very first moments of the Israeli regime’s assault on Iranian soil, the unwavering support of the United States for this criminal regime was evident. While this alliance may have surprised some, the reality is that America has consistently been the primary backing for Zionists in all wars and tensions over the past several decades.
This new conflict with a major nation like Iran has further exposed the Israeli regime’s dependence on direct military support from the United States.In this historical series, we aim to meticulously examine how the Israeli military forces were formed and their profound reliance on military and educational assistance from Western countries.
Israel’s military serves as a testing ground for prohibited Western weaponry. The ongoing hostilities of the Israeli regime in the Middle East have transformed into an exceptional opportunity for Western powers, particularly the United States, to experiment with and demonstrate advanced military technologies.For decades, artillery shells containing white phosphorus, devastating cluster bombs, and various advanced precision-guided munitions, including satellite-guided JDAMs and small-diameter bombs, have rained down on the people of this region. In the skies, F-15, F-16, and the latest F-35 fighter jets, along with Apache and Black Hawk helicopters, have played significant roles in these battles.
Each bullet that strikes the ground echoes the silent screams of thousands of innocents in the darkness of night.Western countries have supplied tens of thousands of cluster, phosphorus, incendiary, and chemical munitions to the Israeli army, which they could not test in the field due to potential media backlash. These munitions were used against the Muslim populations of the Middle East, with precise results and statistical data sent back to arms manufacturers in Europe and America.If we look at the roots of this regime’s formation, we understand that the structure and evolution of its military forces and arms industries, from its inception to the present day, have always been dependent on the relentless support of Western governments. In 1948, while the fledgling Israeli government was still young and fragile, its survival was entirely reliant on arms supplied from Western Europe and the United States.In that initial battle, the lack of armored and air forces among the Zionists posed a serious threat to their existence; however, with the substantial influx of weapons and ammunition from Czechoslovakia and France, the tide turned in their favor. The Suez War in 1956, marked by clear coordination between the Israeli regime, Britain, and France against Egypt, was a pivotal moment that allowed the Zionists to use their armored units to occupy the Sinai Desert—an experience later repeated more successfully in the Six-Day War of 1967.In that conflict, French and British paratroopers played a shock-and-awe role in capturing key ports like Port Said, while the Israeli armored forces were to complete the operation. Although the Soviet nuclear threat against France and Britain thwarted the occupation of the Sinai at that time, the severe humiliation of these two countries led to increased support for the Zionists.The most notable instance of Western hardware assistance to the Israeli regime occurred during the 1973 war when the advance of Egyptian and Syrian armies on the Sinai and Golan fronts terrified the Zionists in the early days of the battle. Egyptian and Syrian air defenses, utilizing modern Shilka and SAM-6 systems, dealt severe blows to the Israeli Air Force; dozens of F-4 and A-4 fighters were shot down in attempts to contain the Arab armies, delivering a heavy shock to Tel Aviv.In those early days of battle in the Sinai Desert, Egyptian anti-tank units inflicted heavy damage on Israeli armored columns with AT-3 Sagger missiles. However, the U.S. government, unable to bear the thought of its ally’s defeat, quickly intervened through Operation Nickel Grass, establishing an unprecedented airlift that revitalized the Israeli air and armored forces.F-4 fighters equipped with advanced electronic warfare technologies to counter Soviet air defense systems and the powerful M60 tanks were among the flood of weapons that poured into Tel Aviv to halt the advance of Egypt and Syria. The story of unwavering Western support for Israel during critical historical junctures has been repeated time and again; however, it has never been as overt as during Operation Al-Aqsa Storm in October 2023.Following relentless 24-hour bombardments of Gaza the Israeli regime faced severe ammunition shortages. The U.S. responded by sending tens of thousands of air-dropped bombs and hundreds of thousands of artillery shells tanks and other munitions enabling the latest laboratory of human slaughter in the West to result in over 66000 defenseless Gazans losing their lives in the past two years with tens of thousands more injured and a population of 2 million living in refugee camps.
