Memri reveals Muslim call to arms to form joint ISLAMIC ARMY to invade Israel!

[Right Scoop] The website Memri, known for monitoring and translating the Middle East, has uncovered a doozy for us in recent days and it goes right along with what we’ve been saying about Erdogan’s plans to resurrect the fatally wounded head of the Ottoman Empire.

First allow me to set the scene.

On December 6, as you well know, Trump changed US policy recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and set in motion a plan to move our embassy there from Tel Aviv. That brought about outrage and protests in the Middle East ‐ some violent ‐ and condemnations from all over Muslim world of Trump’s decision. Even the UN tried unsuccessfully to get Trump to undo his decision.

Then Erdogan steps up and takes charge of this issue on behalf of the Muslim world, making ominous threats against Israel that sound akin to invasion while leading the OIC to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

That’s the backdrop.

Six days after Trump made this recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, one of the top news websites in Turkey ran an article entitled "What If an Army of Islam Was Formed against Israel?" They ran it on both their newspaper (below) and on their website.

#1 If one was formed and attacked, it would fair about as well as the other massed Arab attacks against Israel.

Poorly with lots and lots of losses.

#2 I'm okay with exterminating Turkey and any other country helping this army and giving the land to Israel. There needs to be a price for evil actions

#4 What DarthVader, Silentbrick, and 746 said.

So many ways to approach this Turkish hashish-dream occur to me, and I lack the military backgrond to really do this properly:

1) Recall how the vaunted Arab armies of Iraq and Syria responded to the ISIS expansion in 2014-15 — and the Iraqis even had years of American training and weapons. Then there was what a few American advisors recently did to the hundreds of Russian mercenaries who intended to embarrass President Trump by overrunning their position...

2) As a comment on the Turkish army’s ability to execute battle plans, wasn’t the conquest of Afrin supposed to be a walk in the park for the Turkish army and its Syrian irregulars? After all, the foe is a just a bunch of poorly armed amateurs trying to defend a large number of civilians, much like the Juices in 1948. So how is that going, Turkey?

3) What on earth leads this clever Turkish military advisor to think that President Trump would sit idly by while the military build up was occurring? Perhaps a nice table of American military might versus the Ummah is in order. Then compare and contrast the performance of the mighty Iraqi army of Saddam Hussein versus Iran and then versus either President George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush.

4) Tactics, strategy, logistics. All those terrifying numbers of men and material — how are they to be transported to the battlefield across multiple countries and terrains, not to mention through unpacified or only partly pacified territory in Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Nigeria, Sudan, Libya, Mali, etc... does anyone believe Iran will open its borders for Sunni armies to flow through? Not to mention that most of those Muslim nations need their armies at home to face serious local problems.

5) Israel and American would be ideally positioned to execute a hammer and anvil thingy against the Muslim forces.

tl;dr. The ISLAMIC ARMY is a pipe dream.

#7 Israel and American would be ideally positioned to execute a hammer and anvil thingy against the Muslim forces.

Like beach landings and tunnel clearing?
