1. THE RIGHT STUFF!

Kol Ha'kavod to the brave Maccabees of the IDF / IAF: AM YISRAEL CHAI!
2. A private militia in service of the settlers
Yoshua ,   N.Y   (02.11.14)
Idf is not a people's army anymore, it's become a joke. A paramilitary army in service of the settlers that engages in criminal activities such as allowing settlers to throw stones at palestinians without intervention. Turning a blind eye at settlers vandalizing, looting, burning cars and mosques and trees. It's career officers enjoy aristocratic service conditions while the regular soldier on the battlefield has no water or helmets to even carry out his mission. Regardless of ideology, that's just not good enough.
3. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.11.14)
You speak as if you are a veteran of the IDF. Did you serve? Where and when? What rank? All of us know the answer to those questions .... you're a fraud, is what you are.
4. #2 What planet do you live on??

5. bloody bleeding hearts

david horowitz wrote a piece on hamas big production of M75s which will hit central tel aviv and burbs in quantity plus their vast array of underground bunkers and holes from which to plant mines, abduct soldiers, fire rockets and hide the leadership. Oh its going to be so hard for israel to handle this. If hamas is firing rockets at civilians in the heartland, incinerate gaza, kill the whole bloody place, drown the tunnels, use asymmetrics and use gazans against each other. Instead horowitz cries like the pathetic weak jew. he comes to destroy you, you destroy him. this submissiveness also shows itself in iran.they call israel a cancer to be destroyed and israel says that is not nice. How about this: if Iran tries to destroy israel, she then will liquidate the regime of the ayatollah from top to bottom, so kameinei, you better be in the air to moscow because we will get everyone. That is what iran understands, not the meek observations of lieberman who now is to the left of livni and of no use to anyone.
6. #2 Another...

...bleeding heart liberal or just a paid arab propaganda moron - Yoshua (a phony name too) - it wont work
7. Yoshua (?) #2
Steven ,   Rockville MD USA   (02.11.14)
Unless you served your country you have no right to criticize. Where did you serve in NY? Most likely in the Brooklyn Zoo, where you belong. It is more of the people's army than any other country in the world.
8. God bless our soldiers...an appeal to all Jews around
Al   (02.12.14)
the world. Please find it in your heart to help support the IDF. There many soldiers who are in Israel serving the country without their parents being present in the country. These soldiers need to be re-united with their parents from time to time. Support the IDF through your local FDIF. Thank you A Father of an Israeli Soldier.
9. Wonderful ceremony
One of many   (02.13.14)
Our two Binyamins, Netanyahu and Ganz, were a pleasure to hear. The Ramatkal joined the ceremony to the parshat hashavua of T'tzaveh' in the connection between our boy and girl captains receiving their captain's pins, to the two pins on the Kohen Gadol's garment. The Prime Minister spoke of his memories of his brother Yonni and himself at the same training base in the Negev. Don't beg those who don't want to join our children. It is a privilege to be here, live here and serve here. Others can leave. There are many other nice places in the world that they can go to. None as beautiful as here of course. If they don't even agree to pray for our soldiers, then we will pray for them on Shabbat Monday and Thursday, that G-d should heal their sick and misguided minds. G-d bless our chayalim and chayalot always.
