The Lie:
- Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to genocide, making its military unfit to train, advise, or partner with credible armed forces.
The Truth:
- Israel hosted a military seminar with representatives from nearly 20 countries. You don’t study military tactics under a genocidal army. The fact that the world’s militaries study under the IDF says everything. Israel is not — and never was — committing a genocide.
Background:
- In November 2025, Israel hosted a five-day seminar for over 100 senior military officials from nearly 20 countries, who came to study the IDF’s operational methods, intelligence integration, and battlefield technology.
- At the same time, Israel hit a defence-export record of $14.7B in 2024, and multiple reports confirmed that several Arab states quietly cooperated militarily with Israel during the Gaza war.
Truth Explained:
- Countries that publicly condemn Israel still attend its military seminars.
France, Canada, Germany, Japan, Finland, and others, all of which criticized Israel during the Israel – Hamas war, sent officers to study Israeli battlefield methods, drone and artillery coordination, and life-saving combat protocols. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/11/21/idf-seminar-military-attendees - Israel’s operational experience remains globally unmatched.
The Jerusalem Post observed foreign officers watching how the IDF maps urban battlefields in VR, integrates drones and ground forces in real time, and uses intelligence to locate and destroy tunnels in dense urban terrain. https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-820310 - Israel’s $14.7B in defense exports in 2024, its fourth straight record, is a vote of confidence from the countries buying them. No government invests in critical military systems from a force it considers illegitimate.https://embassies.gov.il/nepal/en/news/israel-ministry-defense-spokesperson-israel-sets-new-record-defense-exports-over-147-billion
- Germany depends on Israeli systems and intelligence.
Germany is purchasing Arrow-3, Spike missiles, Heron drones, and ammunition from Israel — and relied on Mossad intelligence to stop a Hamas terror cell in Berlin. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/11/15/eighty-years-after-the-holocaust-israel-is-arming-germany/ - Arab states secretly cooperated with Israel throughout the war. Leaked U.S. documents reveal that during the 2023–2025 Gaza war, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar participated in a U.S.-led regional security framework with Israel. They shared intelligence, coordinated on counter-Iran threats, and even joined joint training sessions, even while publicly denouncing Israel to satisfy domestic opinion. https://www.ynetnews.com/article/sk52omd6el

- If the IDF were what its critics claim, foreign generals wouldn’t be flying to Israel for lessons. But they are, because when rhetoric fades, reality wins.
