The tiny Jewish state, the one so small you can hardly make it out on a map of the world, has been engaged for more than two years in a seven-front war: in Yemen with the Houthis, in Lebanon with Hezbollah, in Gaza with Hamas, in Iraq with the Shi’a militias, in Syria first with the regime of Bashar Assad and then with the jihadist regime of Ahmed al-Sharaa, in Iran with… Iran, and in Judea and Samaria with assorted terrorists from Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, as well as with lone wolves in Judea and Samaria who are intent on martyrdom and an everlasting afterlife with their 72 virgins (houris) eating grapes in jannah. Israel has been winning on every one of these fronts, but it has not been easy. Hundreds of thousands of Israeli reservists have been taken out of the civilian economy to defend their country. It has been estimated that Israel has so far spent $90 billion just on the war in Gaza, with many tens of billions spent in fighting on the other six fronts.
Diplomatically, Israel has been beaten from pillar to post. At the UN, it is the favorite whipping boy of the so-called international community. More resolutions against Israel have been passed by the General Assembly than against all the other 192 member states put together. Anti-Israel mobs on campuses and in cities everywhere have been calling for Israel’s disappearance — “from the river to the sea/Palestine will be free” — which means it would be replaced by a 23rd Arab state. Many countries have promised to boycott, divest from, and sanction companies and institutions doing business with Israel. Calls for the murder of IDF soldiers are now a staple of those anti-Israel gatherings: “Death, death to the IDF.” And now we have the cry of “globalize the Intifada” which, rightly understood, is a call to kill not just Israelis, but Jews everywhere. And in the midst of all this hate directed at it, Israel has been the one being accused of all manner of evil — first, of practicing “apartheid,” then of being a “colonial-settler state,” and finally, of practicing “genocide.”
Given that, you might expect Israel to be a country on the ropes, with international companies fleeing, the Israeli stock market collapsing, former customers no longer interested in buying goods from Israel. But you would. be wrong. More on the state of the Israeli economy can be found here: “Despite War, Israel Sees Surge in Multibillion-Dollar Defense, Tech, Energy Deals in 2025,” by Debbie Weiss, Algemeiner, December 26, 2025:
Despite predictions that the Gaza war would isolate its economy, Israel in 2025 signed a series of multibillion-dollar defense, technology, and energy deals with Western and Arab powers, extending commercial ties even amid massive diplomatic pressure.
Israeli technology acquisitions and public listings totaled nearly $59 billion in 2025, a jump of roughly 340% from the previous year, according to a PwC Israel report released last week, driven by multibillion-dollar deals in cybersecurity, insurance, and fintech and a rebound in IPOs. Multibillion-dollar missile defense, artillery, and munitions contracts were signed with Germany, Greece, and Gulf partners. Israel also approved a natural gas deal worth tens of billions of dollars with Egypt, its largest energy export to date.
Venture capitalist and former Knesset member Erel Margalit said Israel’s innovation economy “proved its resilience” in 2025, “against war, geopolitical pressure, and repeated predictions of slowdown.”…
For Israel, this past year has been a breathtaking series of economic successes, beginning with that 340% increase, from the year before, in Israeli technology acquisitions and public listings, and ending with the most valuable company in the world, Nvidia, making a huge investment in Israel. Nvidia is now building “a multi-billion shekel R&D campus in northern Israel, expected to become second in size only to the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters. The site will employ more than 10,000 people. Jensen Huang, the founder and chief executive of Nvidia, has described Israel as the company’s “second home,” saying the country is “home to some of the world’s most brilliant technologists.”
Not doing too bad is it, this little country that can. When its enemies in Tehran or Istanbul or Ramallah smack their lips and predict Israel’s impending downfall, show them the facts and stats above. For in the end, it’s Israel’s economy, stupid.

Do you guys who follow this think we moving too close to Muslim peoples countries over there?
Like Gatar, Saudi Arabia and all them like Turkey. A lot of like right wing people we used to listen to, they are now like for Muslim countries and they tell us Israel is like the up to no good on USA , and that the Muslims are our true friend.
I don’t know but everyone is for Tucker and Candace. I don’t want to dump Israel just yet because we are being pressured. We should think this through….
What think u folks, or am I too out of touch? Just because I don’t agree with your change to Islamic countries away from Israel you don’t have to attack me. I don’t know why you guys are like this , I want to learn . My dad is pro Israel still so you usually learn from family. My sisters been brainwashed to palestines . I lean Israel
Michael says
Dear Noah, the governments in the western world are certainly following the Marxist/Jihadist agenda, but that doesn’t mean we as individuals need to. Frankly as a Canadian I trust my government about as far as I can throw them underwater. Scum, every last one of them. Go with your heart and your brain – which country is the democracy, which one upholds the rule of law? Which one has equal rights for all citizens including Arabs? There is only one. I hope this is helped you.

The civilized world should have minimal dealings with brutal Jihad and Shari’ah states.

Hope they can attain full self sufficiency in their defense equipment, so that they need not be susceptible to pressure from anyone, including DC. I no longer trust the US to do the right thing when it comes to Israel’s long term security

“I no longer trust the US to do the right thing when it comes to Israel’s long term security”
Long-term, neither do I.
Israel’s IDF should become as self-sufficient as possible.
James Lincoln says
The so-called “best of people” are profoundly jealous of Israel’s economic and military capabilities.
But they never seem to take it up with “allah”…

Jewish scientists have produced more than 214 Nobel Prizes worldwide, or also 27% of all scientific Nobel Prizes
The Muslim world represents 5 laureates, for 3 prizes, i.e. less than 0.5% of the prizes awarded
Jews are about 15 million in the world (less than 0.002% of the world’s population)
Muslims number about 2 billion (or 25% of the world’s population)
So there are about 130 Muslims for every 1 Jew in the world, which means that each Jew is: (214/5)*130= 5560 Times smarter/ inventive and advanced than every Muslim
In terms of Patents:
Israel, a predominantly Jewish country, represents about 0.01% of the world’s population but regularly ranks in the top 15-20 international patent applicants (e.g., 18th in 2022 with 1,741 applications at the EPO, and top 15 at WIPO in 2015).
Jews in the diaspora (especially the United States) contribute massively to American patents
One must be particularly ideologically blind not to notice the difference, everyone should praise such a contribution to humanity in all fields, but it is the hatred of the most stupid, incapable of anything, that dominates with the help of the left, champion of self-hatred and submission to the Koranic plague
Israel has turned a desert into a garden, and a technological giant
Just look at the abysmal difference with its neighbours, who can’t stand such success compared to their total nothingness
Israel employs more than 2 million Muslims
Jews are expelled, murdered, enslaved in Muslim countries
But the Left prefers the absolute nothingness of Islam to the light and reason of the Jews.
I specify, I am not Jewish
trending calm says
the left and islam apologists like tucker are all so ready to throw America under the bus while screaming “America First” . it’s a danger those who love America and it’s western values cannot ignore. one must just look at the UK and Canada to understand what a world that simps to islam looks like.

It’s Israel’s Economy, Stupid
……………………………….
Little Israel’s economy is actually doing very well, especially given that she started with nothing. Her per capita GDP is $60,000, which puts her solidly in the first world category, along with Western European nations like Germany and Belgium.
Alkflaeda says
Anyone who compares the Israeli economy with that of Iran could come to only one conclusion about whether Allah is really the God of Heaven and earth.
