We've discussed this before. To compare Israel's military with that of Germany, France or Britain is laughable. Yes, Israel could take down Italy in a stand-up fight and the new EU states as well.
Put Israel against one of the top three and it would be crushed.
Part of the reason for this is that you can never assess the military in a bubble. You have to include outside realities -- chief among these is logistics. Israel has the worst logistics of almost any non-third-world power.
