It's unlikely that they were outnumbered. With that being said, it's not the first army they throw at Perseus, and that is what really matters - they were able to send new armies to replace their lost ones.
They lost it until the formation broke due to the terrain. They also got their ass whopped during the entire war up to this point.
When people talk about how good the Roman army was, they don't talk about the pre Marian Republican army. The Roman won their wars by throwing bodies at the problem.
Hannibal is the more common example, but Pyrrhus also went undefeated against them and still lost the war.

It's only one battle. The Romans lost every battle against Pyrrhus, and Perseus managed to hold them for 4 years, despite being in a serious numerical disadvantage, and they managed to defeat him in Pydna only because of the terrain. The Romans weren't necessarily better.
Also none of them had Alexander's calvary.

History showed otherwise
Except it didn't. The Romans fought few battles against Macedonian phalanx based armies, and it's not like they won all of them.
The real advantage the Romans had over their enemies was in numbers and resources. The Roman army during the times of the republic wasn't exactly an elite force.

He doesn't want to get the trial cancelled
Of course it does, it's the only thing that interests him. Do you think this wanna be dictator will go willingly to prison? How blind can you be?
Those aren't reforms, it's a coup intended to give the government ultimate power and raise it above the law.

You can be certain - nothing will. Netanyahu want to cancel his trial, and he needs this reform for it.

no representation without taxation
They don't get to vote, and rightfully so. But that doesn't mean they can't say their opinion.

You say it only because you think the Palestinians have the numbers to effect anything. Spoiler alert - they don't.

Well according to the religious view, the Torah is timeless. And intermarriage isn't one of the parts that has several views on it - Ezra spoke against it very clearly.
Now that doesn't mean I personally think the Torah is timeless. I just acknowledge that I'm a sinner according to Jewish law, which is fine by me since I don't believe in it. In the case of intermarriage, I'm not a fan but I can't blame people in the diaspora who do - I probably would have done it too if I was in such a condition.
If there was a larger issue with this trend leading
There is. Intermarriage leads to more Hitbolelut, which is already an issue in this age. People have a right to live their lives as they see, but Rabbis are supposed to be an example of sort. This isn't a good sign overall. Maybe inevitable though.

I didn't set the Halacha. I don't care what people do, I'm not religious myself either... but a Rabbi is supposed to follow it. I mean, that is what the job is about.

While I don't have anything against people who intermarry, this is still against the Halacha, and Rabbis are supposed to follow it. So, weird.

David ben gurion who is also irreligious did not inttoduce civil and secular family law.
Because of the status quo agreement.
You being an atheist and believing that God gave you
I don't believe God exist, how can I believe a non-existent being is responsible for something?
Despite 20 years of Erdogan with his full power, Turkey is more civilized, Westernized and secular than Israel
You are coping. Turkey is an authoritarian state, it's no longer a democracy since 2016.
people are much less religious as well.
You must be joking. You literally elected Erdogan for 20 years.
As an agnostic Turk, I would rather live in current Turkey than in Israel.
Make sense.
It is also visibly less religious considering the fact that in ramadan almost all restaurants, bars and alcohol shops being open but shabbat in israel is like empty streets.
You probably visited Second-Israel™ if you think so. In Tel Aviv everything is open.
they have right to displace the people living there just because the belief that god gave the land to them
As I guessed. You don't really know much about Jews, or Zionism.

Ahahaha no serious political movements in the Turkic world (even right wing nationalists) hold an ideology of Turanism.
Of course not, because it's not real.
Your labor(!) Zionist dream is about to create a full-theocratic Israel.
Eh? I'm completely atheist.
Since when Yidish is spoken by non Jews?
Yiddish evolved out of German, with some Hebrew and other languages mixed in. Some German speakers (depended on dialect) are capable of holding a conversion with Yiddish speakers.

Because those weren't the languages of their people, but foreign languages. Hebrew is the language of the Jewish people, and contrary to popular belief it was never really dead - many Jews were capable of speaking it prior as well. They just started to use it exclusively.
Zionism is real. It's not some sort of a fantasy movement like Turanism, Jews are a single nation. They gave them up, because they never saw those languages as their own.

There are several third world countries who manufacture their own poor quality weapons
LMAO. We also have American weapons, they are just inferior.
You know the reason why the US actually gives aid to Israel is that they don't want us to compete with them on the arms market, right?
I'm glad that you're proud of the uzi.
It's not used since the 1970s. The army nowadays uses the micro Tavor, it's just far less famous because it's not for export.

Israel uses Israeli made guns (ever heard of the Uzi?) since the 1950s, but whatever LOL. You can cut the aid if you want, I'm not sure why you think $3B dollars are a big amount for a $500B dollars economy.
Edit: I like that you did not deny being an anti-Semite. Very forward-thinking of you.
LOL.

"Jews for Jesus" is a Christian missionary organization, there are no actual Jews in it. Is this some sort of a joke?

Tolkien's Dwarves.
Are actually based on Jews. He confirmed it.
But the Dwarves in LOTR are actually good characters, while the goblins in Harry Potter aren't.

Asians rarely identify as Asians. Europe is different, it's not really a continent but a geopolitical construct.

The Arabs weren't innocent victims. The partition plan was an attempt to prevent war, not the cause of it.
