Deep dives
Israel's Military Mindset and Global Relations
Israel's military mindset has significantly shaped its relationships with various countries, particularly in the post-World War II landscape. Much like the United States, Israel engaged with numerous oppressive regimes, often befriending dictators and human rights abusers to establish itself as a military and diplomatic power. By leveraging its military technology and training, Israel not only garnered support but also attempted to deflect criticism of its own treatment of Palestinians. This strategic alignment created a network where arms sales generated both revenue and political support, showcasing a troubling historical pattern of complicity in human rights violations.
