Superpower is a bit of an exaggeration IMO.
Certainly, Israel benefited tremendously from ample Western aid. Direct and indirect aid, monetary and nonmonetary aid. Diplomatic and very often non-diplomatic assistance.
However, there have been other cases such as Turkey, Pakistan, Arab dictatorships and many other countries that have not been quite as successful as this tiny statelet despite alliance or close partnerships with the USA.
We might as well ask why are North Korea and South Korea so different? Despite both of them belonging to the same nation and coming from shared roots, with shared history, genes, language and culture?
We might as well ask if the roles were reversed and complete embargo on Israel were to be initiated by the
entire Western world, much like North Korea or to a limited extent Iran, Cuba, Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq experienced, how well would Israel have fared?
Some food for thoughts.
There were a few factual errors in the short video. Good summary of Israeli defence-industrial developmet trajectory, still.
Part of the reason Iran's Natanz nuclear reactor could be affected by Stuxnet is Iranian dependence on
Western hardware and software. In this case, it was some Siemens PLC systems that were affected or so it is reported. Western hardware or software can not be trusted if you want your country to be independent.
The problem is: How can you be
totally independent of the West when your country has a puny population of about 80 million people as in Iran? Or in Turkey? Or slightly more as in Egypt? And when the Western combined population is about 1 billion, or
1000 million?
The short answer is: You can not.
There in lies the crux of the matter.
Iranian religious 'scholars' seem to be a rare breed that encouraged birth control. Most religious 'scholars' around the world think differently. Little did the Iranian 'scholars' realize that in trying to imitate just about anything and everything Western, they have stunted Iran's future potential.
And now they are stuck in a limbo.
