You are dreaming. Israel is a nuclear power and wouldn't go down without a fight.

Hopefully NZ and the rest of the commonwealth tells him to frick off. It's a shame we didn't have the balls to straight up vote no like the rest of the council.

I didn't know Israel had a Navy capable of mounting an amphibious operation on a shore over 16,000 miles away.


They only attack unarmed ships like the USS Liberty.

This. Add to that the fact that both the US and UK back Israel more than they back other commonwealth nations.

I googled around a bit and didn't see it. Is there a military arm or treaty to get the Commonwealth Nations to act together militarily?

In any event, Bibi surely didn't mean to declare actual war on New Zealand.

Israel has at least five submarines.

So they could perhaps project some power against New Zealand if they wanted to.

mmcgrath, hate the Jews & Israel all you want, and have been, but one thing is a fact. No one fricks with the Mossad. It has one main goal: do what it takes to protect Israel & its population. And it is patient as hell. Look at how long it took it to punish the Olympic terrorists.

Israel has the best fighter pilots in the world; they'd do OK if forced to handle some Kiwi-a-go-go's.

They would need some pretty long supply lines. Who around New Zealand will base their aircraft?

So we are in on this too now?

Guam is 4,000 miles from New Zealand too by the way. You'd need a range of 8,000+ miles to hit targets and return without in flight refueling of your entire force, which is doable
