The U.S. was ranked first, followed by China, Russia, Germany, the United Kingdom, South Korea, France and Japan. One of the Abraham Accords signatories, the United Arab Emirates, came in ninth, just head of Israel.
Israel maintained a very high military ranking in the “power” category, coming in fourth with a score of 91.1, trailing only China, the U.S. and Russia. Furthermore, Israel was assessed to be “politically influential,” with a score of 78.1.
The Jewish state scored 67.3 for “strong international alliances,” 35.6 for its economy and 25.8 for being a leader.
“Israel has a technologically advanced market economy with cut diamonds, high-technology equipment and pharmaceuticals among its major exports,” stated the report.
“The country is very highly developed in terms of life expectancy, education, per capita income and other human development index indicators,” it added.
Israel does have a powerful military (Baruch HaShem).
BUT, Israel also has the longest list of enemies in the history of the human race.
A very partial list of Israel’s relentless permanent enemies includes:
[1] Almost all of the world’s 57 Muslim nations.
[2] The European Union
[3] The United Nations Organization
[4] Almost the entire international political Left (including Marxists, Communists, Socialists, Progressive, Social Justice Warriors, Antifa, Black Lives Matters, and the USA Democratic Party)
[5] Almost the entire international news media
[6] Almost the entire international academic world
[7] Almost the entire Hollywood entertainment industry
[8] many powerful churches, non-profit organizations and labor unions
[9] etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera….
Careful, כוחי ועוצם ידי……. don’t fall into this trap. Can only rely on Hashem.
Difficult to understand. Ukraine is not on this list at all, but they seem to be kicking Russia’s tuchas
What happened to all the predictions by our very own that Israel will last 70 years
