Subject: just imagination: Israel vs Turkey

Shalom! What do you guys think would be the result of a war between Turkey and Israel(leaving out nukes)... I know that it won't happen because we are friends. But I'm curious... both nations have a lot of experience in warfare and are ferocious fighters. ?

Titan: read any history of the 1948 war, when the Israelis had no support from anyone. And remember that the Arabs then actually had the benefit of Western training. The Israelis are fierce. (Or you could simply drive from Haifa to Tel Aviv, which I understand is kind of like playing Need For Speed on a 1:1 scale.) My predictions for the war? Syria would be very nervous. Lebanon would once again become a war zone. The Kurds might suddenly become Israeli allies. And the Greeks would suddenly discover how much they like kosher cooking. Yes, I know...politics. But like Frederick the Great said, "War without politics is like music without instruments."

we TURKS defended your nation.when you were sacked from spain we accepted you to our country.many jews were living in our empire.after 2.world war you went back to middle east and you're fighting with arabs again. israel become a powerful nation because jews are bonded with a different love. +jews are a hard-working people. +but you're getting a giant support from USA.and this is your greatest advantage -your population and manpower is very low. we have a plenty of soldier.our air forces are tougher than you think.but our naval forces are weak for a country surrounded by seas. if we add politics arabs will help us aganist greeks.i believe kurds must be sent away cause they cause many problems(this is my idea but this will make our manpower lower) unless israel get support i believe we would beat'em. BUT there is no need for a war because as you said we're ALLIES. +i'm sad about palestinians.we know that some israel soldiers were doing wild things to them. +i never support HAMMAS.and those suicide bombers are making me sick.i'm sad because of the war between palestinians and jews.

1. Israel and Turkey are very close allies. And have a common enemy in Syria which lies between 2 countries. 2. Israel Air Force is one of the world's finest in combat experience in training. Although Turkish air force is good on trainings and air to land attacks; Turkish air force lacks air to air combat experience. 2. Note: Israel air force is making its air to land attack training in Turkey due to lack of space in Israel. 3. Arabs will never fight on Turkish side. They did not fight in WW1 even when they were part of Ottoman Empire. 4. Turkey has one of the biggest navies in the Mediterranian due to naval rivalry with Greece. And has Amphibious landing experience due to Cyprus war. So at least it has a threatening factor. 4. Note: Turkish and Israel navies are making joint naval exercise every few years. 5. In Armor warfare, Israel should have a big advantage over Turkey but in infantry warfare Turkey had the advantage. Of course that is a very unrealistic what if. It is nearly impossible to find a war cause between 2 countries (something to fight for). These 2 countries are natural allies.

Get the feeling that everyone is assuming that the fight is on Israeli territory.

I guess everyone is assuming it is on Neverland or Fantasia.

Does this war start today? Because today Israel would smack Turkey, Syria, Iran...Whoever; down like a giant flyswatter. Tomorrow though, it's a beehive. Later, a bird of prey.

For friendship sake let's say it would be a draw.

"For friendship sake let's say it would be a draw". It couldn't be a draw. If Israel's existence is threatened they would use their highly sophisticated thermonuclear bombs and then the game would be over. Israel has hundreds of the most sophisticated thermonuclear weapons coupled with sophisticated delivery systems.

The result of a ThermoNuclear war is a natural draw.
