Israel is teaching the world how to wage war responsibly and ethically

At Israel's Institute for National Security Studies, John Spencer and Liam Collins describe how Israel has helped the West in how to wage and win wars both in the past and in the present.

I did not know this:

After the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the US Department of Defense undertook an extensive evaluation of the conflict, commissioning no fewer than 37 separate studies, including a still-classified seven-volume report on weapon systems. American military personnel walked the battlefields alongside Israeli commanders who had fought there, analyzing the strategies and technologies that enabled Israel to prevail against overwhelming odds. The lessons drawn from Israel’s battlefield successes would profoundly shape US military doctrine, directly influencing the development of AirLand Battle doctrine and the “Big Five” weapon systems—Apache helicopters, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, Patriot missile systems, Abrams tanks, and Black Hawk helicopters. These advancements, combined with new operational approaches emphasizing speed, firepower, and joint-force coordination, would redefine modern warfare.

And it is happening today too. The article describes recent innovations that are being studied, copied and used in the West.

The Israeli Emergency Bandage—a simple hemorrhage control dressing developed by an Israeli military medic—has saved countless American lives.
Israel's armored D9 bulldozers have contributed a great deal to protecting soldiers in urban warfare.
The Trophy Active Protection System (APS)helps protect tanks and armored vehicles from the RPGs that can come from any direction in an urban war zone.
The IDF’s successful use of dogs to locate tunnel shafts, detonate traps, or even engage combatants is also being adopted by the US Army.
Israeli technology in detecting tunnels is being used by the US on the Mexican border to stop smuggling.
Israeli enhancements to the F-35 are being adopted by the US as well, including electronic warfare and other additions.
Iron Beam, the world’s first high-energy laser air defense system, is of great interest to Western armies.
Israel is in the forefront in using AI to enhance various weapons systems.

So while the idiot protesters pretend that Israel is wantonly killing civilians, the world's most ethical armies are learning how to use Israeli methods to fight and win wars with a minimum of collateral damage in the most challenging environments.
