Quote from Mercor:
Its always about how bad Israel is. All states have friends and enemies. For a state to succeed they need to justify their own existence.
Your saying Israel has formed allies by large purchases of weapons. That is called an import. States all over the world need to import food, guns, cars, software......all that business makes exporting politicians more friendly to that state.
The key is to have a nation that has economic growth, good industry, fair legal system, sound banking, internal security.
Israel has that. Companies know they will be treated fairly and their assets are safe from the Govt.
Palestine does not have these institutions in place. In fact it survives only on Israel industry and Israel/international aid.
I am sure if Palestine were to develop an economy and be able to buy things, the Russians among others would be more then happy to support palestine with their MIC
