Most folks do not realize just how little Israel is. For example when I was there for the 1973 unpleasantness, from one border next to Syria to the sea was only 8 miles wide. That is NOT a lot of room to duck and cover or move around.

Also folks need to know the Arabs do NOT take Israeli prisoners of follow the Geneva Convention.

When that country goes to war, the ENTIRE country works at it. While everyone (male AND female)under 55 is subject to fighting, those over that age does what it can. Be it taking care of the children, digging alternative fighting positions, to cooking and feeding the troops.

Then I got to know a rather well known Israeli family that is VERY high up in the government now. They will NOT back off or back down as they know losing means the extermination of the citizens of the country.

Now ask yourself one thing. If you had an enemy that vows to kill everyone (men, women AND children), what would you do?
