Israel continues to increase its technological superiority over its enemies, says Abdurrahman al-Rashid, former CEO of Al-Arabiya and former editor-in-chief of the pan-Arab newspaper Ash-Sharq al-Awsat.
He writes that back in 1967, Egyptian President Nasser justified the defeat by the “superiority of Israeli aviation.” When Nasser was told that the Egyptian Air Force had more than 400 new MiG-21s, he replied that the cunning Israelis were training three pilots for each aircraft, thereby using their aviation more actively.
The new series of strikes against Hezbollah, exploding pagers and radios, shows that Israel has since doubled its technological advantage over its enemies. At the same time, Hezbollah, Hamas and other fanatical regimes draw their strength from an ideology that allows them to mobilize more and more fighters.
Thus, the war will be endless, due to the fact that one side is constantly developing its capabilities, and the other continues to cling tightly to an ideology that does not value human life. Ideology cannot defeat technology, he concludes.
