Israels military, How strong exactly?

I just saw a question about their military strength and I saw a good percentage of the answers being that they are strong enough to defeat the USA. Although I disagree with this, I'm curious to see what evidence the people making those statements will present here. What makes them so sure and how much do they actually know? Is it from experience, education, or pure speculation?

Let the ignorace begin!

Update:

I am aware of Israels capabilities... I am just curious to know what evidence the people who say that they are superior to ours will present.

    They do not have the manpower or equipment to take on the US. They have next to no natural resources and only one real port. We could easily suffocate a nation like this without even putting a troop on the ground. Our navy has a superior air and sea power. A blockade would be the most logical tactical response and they could do nothing about it. They have a navy but their subs are diesel and we could find them in short order.

    The USA could defeat an invasion from space.Example we have 12 aircraft carries France has one China two.We also have attack subs .One sub has the power to destroy all of Israel. At any time we have ten out at sea.In the event of a nuclear attack no nation could stop our ICBMS and attack sub.We also have the largest air force in the world.Unless we are attacked by a nation with technology from a planet far away we will be safe,

    Why would Israel want to defeat the USA. They are our ally in the Mideast.

    Israel was strong enough to beat the crap out of all those Arabs during 1967 and1973.

    The PLO, Hamas and Hezbollah are just jealous that Israel was given a piece of crappy land and turned that land into a productive nation.

    The Israeli military has some of the best training in the world. The Israeli Special Forces are among the best, if not the best, in the world. Combine that with the equipment and nukes courtesy of the US military, and Israel is a formidable force to beat.

    They have a powerful air force that is what gives them a huge advantage over Hezbollah.

    They are as strong as America makes them. 3.8 Billion dollars a year from America buys a lot of hardware
