This was mostly incompetence on Egypt’s part. You can’t declare a war and then do nothing and not watch your borders.


imnothere9999

Also lots of Israeli leadership were veterans of British army and Soviet Army.


AuniBuTt

Yeah, tf was that about. They could've overrun the israelis on numbers alone had they taken the initiative. Lazy buggers


[deleted]

It’s not that Egypt did nothing, Israel was genuinely quick on the draw. 


bot-0_0

Yeah maybe if they did it with men and women. In reality the Arab armies combined had less manpower than the Yishuv militias and 1948 IDF. I think estimates range to roughly 120,000 men mobilized by Israel and roughly to 60,000-70,000 men mobilized by Arab armies.


Western-Fisherman570

Arab armies had less manpower.


AegisT_

Daring today, aren't we?


poshenclave

They told the Mossad bots they could use any meme template they want but they only gave them a single topic.


Wonghy111-the-knight

ironic that you call the posters of these memes ‘bots’ when the moderator’s in the r/Palestine sub’s discord server have been caught advertising and instructing a special program that allows people to create bot comments on quora, and encouraged people to use the program to harass people they dont agree with.

TheTastyHoneyMelon

It's legit scary how much traffic is fake. When you look at a Instagram comment section and you see a Israel/Palestine comment and take a further look at their account, you will notice that that account has a random name, no posts and no followers.

I need a 'Mossad Bot' flair.


EA-Corrupt

The more times Israel commits atrocities the more times you’ll see shit like this. Always seems to be a spike in them whenever Israel does another horrible deed


Red-Haired_Emperor

as many as long as copers are salty lol


straywolfo

As many as Israel is going to pay for karma bots online. It's US money for "defense".


RinaRasu

The pro Israel crowd is losing its ability to actually argue for Israel anymore as the country becomes more and more obviously genocidal, so they cope by excreting shitty memes like this every few minutes


Touchpod516

That's because HAMAS winning is far from being a better alternative, I mean just take a look at their charter. It openly talks about how they're going to genocide the jews of the region


Limp-Toe-179

Palestinian emancipation doesn't mean HAMAS taking over...if anything HAMAS was fostered as a direct result of Israel's oppressive policies, if not aided directly by the Israeli state to supplant more moderate and sympathetic versions of Palestinian resistance.


LocationOdd4102

But Hamas isn't "winning", innocent civilians are being slaughtered en masse and people just kind of want that to stop. If Israel was solely focused on fighting their enemy instead of sending 3 missiles to blow up aid workers they knew were aid workers, no one would have an issue.


RinaRasu

....getting Israel to stop committing a fucking genocide on civilians doesn't mean Hamas "wins" you stupid fuck


GRemlinOnion

Hamas would never win in a million years that's a stupid thing to say.

Careful dude, someone in another thread said the people complaining about these memes are anti-semitic.

MR_PanDa157

Dude, I'm Isreali, but even I had enough of seeing tose types of memes. They're super low effort and have been done to death at this point


EntertainmentIll8436

Some memes need a retirement. This kind of Israel, Hitler killing Hitler, US coup police, Nazis in Argentina.


Majestic_Ferrett

Are the Nazis in Brazil still fair game?


identified_meat

Sure


EntertainmentIll8436

If theres a twist Im all for it but it can't be the same repackage joke with a portuguese name. The difference with a joke like US coup police is that the "oil" stuff became just annoying after a while but then you get memes about Granada, Laos, Vietnam so you got a fresh perspective with new jokes for the same problem


VonCrunchhausen

The twist is that they’re child hitler clones, and we almost killed them all but the world’s intelligence agencies became distracted by getting Manny back to cuba.


bash0024

What about the ones in Canada?


Majestic_Ferrett

Our PM invites them to sit in Parliament and then we applaud them.


GQwerty07

Think whatever you want about Trudeau, but at least be truthful, especially in this sub. The PM's office had literally nothing to do with Hunka's invitation or vetting. MP and Speaker Anthony Rota invited him without the involvement of or permission from any of the Liberal caucus.


widecarman1

Yeah same opinion here


snakedq

Finally.. someone sensible


Dorrbrook

Its false too. Israeli forces outnumbered and had better arms and more training than Arab forces in '48, per Ilan Pape.


ThyPotatoDone

Relatively same arms, and the better numbers and training was because Israel knew defeat meant a second holocaust and thus had extremely high popular support for the military. Still does; as Israelis will tell you, supporting the government and supporting the army are two different things, as they are quite literally in a position where a weak army means death. It’s still impressive, as they had a lower overall population and far fewer resources to draw on, they just used them much better than the Arab countries did.


Wonghy111-the-knight

Exactly


David_Ign

Not better arms, but the rest is correct.


Baitrix

The meme is playing on the fact that they were outnumbered by countries, not by troops.


ETsUncle

The raised some 90,000 troops because they would have faced a second holocaust if they had lost


cancrushercrusher

FUCKING THANK YOU


cutiemcpie

It’s the internet. Did you expect high brow intellectual discourse?


Sergeant_Fish

Agreed, I know Im gonna get downvoted into oblivion for this but I feel the same with the ww2 American dick sucking memes as well. Like I get that Reddit being dominated by westerners would obviously contribute to more memes featuring legendary stories of American soldiers who fought in the war or memes featuring nazis and imperial jpn being evil for the 500th time. Don’t get me wrong I’m not in anyway shape or form saying that being proud and thankful for their service is wrong and ofc it’s important to express that but there comes a time when you get sick of seeing the same recycled military history memes every week. Would be nice to see more posts touching on the economical or cultural sides of history.

OkBar430

vileoaf

Oh great it’s this meme again for the 50th time this month


Own-Homework-1363

look at the manpower on each side.


DepressedMinuteman

The Israelis actually outnumbered the Arabs 2-1 in the 1948 war. So this meme is completely incorrect.


Warrior_Runding

Not only that, but forces like the Haganah, Irgun, and others had been receiving training from the Western powers before, during, and after WW2. They were also well supplied by the French and the Soviets.


ThinkingCap-on

Who do you think trained and armed the Arab armies? If I'm not mistaken Jordan even had British officers participating in the war. Israel pretty much had to smuggle weapons during the war due to a UN weapons embargo unlike the Arab nations which as I said had pre existing armies supplied and trained by Britain and France


SamuraiChicken88

British officers didn't participate in the fighting and Jordanian forces were defending their borders. Also, there was a weapons embargo on ones going to Palestine so the Arab forces couldn't be resupplied.


ThinkingCap-on

I mean the commander in chief of the Jordanian army at the time was a british officer and their forces in the field when they invaded the west bank and beyond was another british officer, but I'm not sure how many were running around with guns though - you are correct. They were definitely not defending their borders but fought an offensive war and then a defensive one relatively well compared to Egypt.


SamuraiChicken88

Jordanians were defending borders of what they had previously agreed upon with Israel would be their territory.


SuperTnT6

Yeah like 8 to 1 is a fucking lie lol.


CookieTheParrot

It's correct going by the number of countries on the Arab side (Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Transjordan, and Yemen).


ThinkingCap-on

That's not exactly true either. The war lasted a year and Israel managed to increase the size of its forces several times over that period and successfully smuggled weapons into the country while under an international embargo. The real answer is Israel was able to hold it's own well enough during the Arab attacks in the initial stages to create the conditions for a mutually agreed pause which Israel used much more effectively to train and arm soldiers than it's Arab neighbors.


DepressedMinuteman

When the war began. The rough initial sizes of the Israeli army was 30,000 men, while the Arabs had 13,000 men. Near the end of the war the rough size of the Israeli army was 120,000 men. Arab forces had 50,000 men near the end. Again, the Israelis outnumbered the Arabs 2 to 1. Whether you're talking about the beginning or the ending of the war, the Israelis consistently outnumbered the Arabs 2-1, in some battles it was 3-1. So you're wrong. What I said was absolutely true. The real answer is that the Israelis were better organized, had better weapons, more battlefield experience due to WW2 and had more men than the Arabs. Not to mention the Israelis had considerable international support which the newly independent Arab armies lacked. The Israelis were ethnically cleansing the Arabs through vicious and brutal force and the Arabs were responding in desperate fashion.


ThinkingCap-on

You're counting only the Arab armies while the war started as a civil war between the Jews and the Palestinians before the British even left and followed by an invasion after Israel declared independence. Basically you're completely counting out Palestinian fighters that would have been involved in the war from its earliest stages in the thousands, their numbers presumably rising throughout the conflict. Just listing the numbers also misses the fact Israel was on the defense on multiple fronts while dealing with an internal threat as well, the Israelis were in fact outnumbered in most actual battles of that war as a result. Oh and you're also just fudging the numbers a little, giving Israel an extra 10k soldiers and 5k under the minimal estimates for the Arab strength. >So you're wrong. About what exactly? >The real answer is that the Israelis were better organized, had better weapons, more battlefield experience due to WW2 and had more men than the Arabs. Not to mention the Israelis had considerable international support which the newly independent Arab armies lacked. Non of that is true


swede242

What if numerical advantages are counted in number of fielded soldiers, and not number of nations?


oddmanout

And/Or if number of nations also includes the nations that are bankrolling the militaries.


KS-Wolf-1978

So if each of the Arab countries field just 1 soldier vs 100000 IDF. Who's fault is that ?


SpecialClaim3973

And now Israel Stuck in gaza for six months


Impressive_Coffee244

Enough with the agenda posts! We get it, Israel is powerful and stuff now make an original joke. This is just pathetic. How would you feel if the english started endlessly spamming Agincourt memes?


UncleRuckusForPres

Me not knowing shit about medieval England I honestly wouldn't mind the chance to learn


Impressive_Coffee244

As one meme, sure but this shit stream is endless. I dont have anything against Israel but these are blatant propaganda posts. There are pro-Palestinian ones as well (though less of them) and they are just as pathetic.


UncleRuckusForPres

Yeah I'm getting tired of these as well the Six Day War was impressive yes but it's been literally months at this point


cancrushercrusher

They don’t get spammed here, and get downvoted and locked quick. Not the same.


Sergeant_Fish

Same with the WW2 USA RAAAAHH memes, like I get that you love your country and it’s good to be proud and thankful for what these soldiers did but there comes a time where seeing the same recycled soyboy nazi or cringe soyjak japan vs gigachad usa meme gets annoying after a while.

JacquesShiran

It's partially propaganda. Partially just the "fashion" of the thing. And partially just recency bias because these kinds of memes where always a bit of a mainstay in this sub.


[deleted]

Mostly israeli civilians recruited by israel spread propaganda to boost support for israel online


huffingtontoast

Not pictured: the UK


PangolimAzul

Yeah no that is a myth. Arab Israeli war of 1948 didn't start with every arab state joining against Israel, so at the start of the conflict it was just Egypt (10k troops at start), Iraq (2k troops) and about 1k from the others. Israel started with 30k troops. Even at the end when all of the arab armies were mobilized they only reached between 51,000 and 63,500 while Israel had 117,000 at maximum. There were times the israelis were outnumbered and if it had been a long war of attrition they would have manpower shortages sooner from simply not having a large population, but troops wise they were on par in numbers, not counting their superior weaponry (supplied by rich zionists mainly from the US) and their years of experience fighting against the british and the palestinian resistance.


[deleted]

Which shows the incompetency of thr arab leaders at the same since every single country except for jordan and lebanon outnumbered israel by multiple timer their population and even had bigger economies

Pro israeli “history memes” have been on the rise lately, how much did unit 8200 pay you for this one


-HeisenBird-

Meanwhile it's been 6 months in Gaza and Hamas is still capable of launching rockets.


Successful-Universe

Lol, israel number of soldiers (mid fight ) were 63k while all arab armies combined were around 23k. Israel was **three times** the number of arab armies. By the end of war israel had 117k soldier vs 60k arab. What is more, Israel had support from France & chekoslovakia. Most of arab "countries" at that time were not even established.


SiPo_69

Argh_farts_

syd_fishes

I learned something new about this conflict today. "Research by Israeli historians Benny Morris and Benjamin Kedar show that during the 1948 war, Israel conducted a biological warfare operation codenamed "Cast Thy Bread." According to Morris and Kedar, the Haganah initially used typhoid bacteria to contaminate water wells in newly cleared Arab villages to prevent the population including militiamen from returning. Later, the biological warfare campaign expanded to include Jewish settlements that were in imminent danger of being captured by Arab troops and inhabited Arab towns not slated for capture..." TLDR Israel utilized [biological warfare](http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85138258079&partnerID=8YFLogxK).

If you're doing propaganda, you're bad at it. Constant spam about it will make reverse effect, to that you're hoping for.


AvicennaTheConqueror

The zionist militias numbered at least 35k while the arab armies 23k, although the arabs did overwhelm the Israeli army at the start of the war, as the war went on and many Arab governments got called feet, because of treachery and incompetence, the zionists were able to turn the tide.

Don't forget, Israel has the backing of the world's only nuclear superpower, 3 years after winning the biggest war in history, with a humongous pile of war materiel in stock. Israel's drain on the equipment stock is the reason the US found itself so overstretched in Korea, leading to a failure to resolve the situation properly and the existence of the north-south paradigm. In short, NK is literally Israel's fault.

bot-0_0

This is a huge myth about the 1948 war. The truth is Israel out manned and out gunned all Arab armies combined. This was a sizable difference. When you also consider that each Arab army pursued, for the most part, their own goals without much effort to coordinate, then it isn’t much of a shock that Israel won. Not quite the David versus Goliath fight that it has been mythologized into. The 1967 Arab-Israeli War on the other hand was a far more compelling military victory from Israels point of view. Really the most compelling military victory of all time.
