Israel can win many times, but it cannot afford to lose even once. The most critical reason is Israel's strategic environment, which has been extremely dangerous since the day of its founding. According to the historical patterns of ancient times, any strong small country, no matter how prosperous for hundreds of years, will eventually be devoured. During the Spring and Autumn period, there were several powerful countries, such as the small states of Zheng, Lu, Zhongshan, Wei, and Song, which once became regional bullies, but in the end, they could not escape being swallowed up.
Although Israel is still very strong today, it has only been so for about 80 years. Can Israel remain strong forever? It is unrealistic for Israel to be prosperous for a few hundred years. Even if Israel possesses nuclear weapons, it would not help. Because the Jews are surrounded by Arabs, no matter how much the Jews try, their territory expansion is limited.
Israel also dares not expand its territory too much, because once it expands, it has to accept Arabs. At that time, when the number of Arabs in Israel exceeds that of Jews, it would mark the beginning of Israel's decline. Israel is currently united because there are more Jews within its borders. Once large-scale annexation is implemented, it would have to accept the inclusion of Arabs. After living together for 30 or 50 years, the Arabs would begin to take full control, and the decline of Israel would already have begun.
Perhaps Israel can be prosperous for one or two centuries, but it cannot remain prosperous forever. Some things are not just words, and it is impossible to maintain prosperity indefinitely. Moreover, the United States behind Israel cannot remain powerful forever either. At the peak of its power, Israel has offended all neighboring countries, and everyone wants to completely destroy Israel.
This is a land of constant warfare; it is impossible to say it is not dangerous. This means that Israel has no room to maneuver, and even temporary prosperity cannot guarantee eternal prosperity. The geographical situation of Israel is worse than expected, and it is destined to end in tragedy.
