"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me"
The biggest problem with making enemies is that enemies are cumulative, and forever.
In the meantime Israel / EU inflation rising by ways of oil and military cost.
Practically / impractically speaking USA-sponsored Prosperity Guardian fleet must take care of Team Israel forever or until as long as possible, per Ukraine protocol, as the demographics of Team USA shift for 2043 is just around the corner, mere 20 years, just a Afghanistan war's duration
Recommendation to Team Israel, consider make friends with neighbours, and make new friends who play well and do not get one into trouble.
Multi-polarity is a b*tch.
Just like raising kids, who they end up playing with matters a great deal; join the wrong crowd, disaster waiting.
Recommendation to my niece, do not move from Russia to Israel until / unless Israel plays well with new friends, else end up in the middle of perpetual war.
The trouble with tribes is that those who have oil become lazy and reliant on oil, ... gas ... ores ... food ... etc etc ... and those who have weapons ... etc etc etc
In HK we have nothing, and so we are reliant on nothing, except making selves useful ... just saying
