"Omnipotent"? I think the word you are looking for is "impotent". Allah surrounded the Jews with millions and millions of hostile Muslims and then inspired them to attack Israel several times. Each time, the tiny and isolated Jewish nation, existing on a mere sliver of land, drove back the vast armies of up to 8 allied Muslim nations at one time, embarrassing them and defeating them decisively. The Muslims got spanked like troublemaking children by the innocent Jews.

So yes, I think "impotent" is the word you're looking for.
