Our total faith in our legitimate rights on the Land of Israel will restore the spirit of the I.D.F and its deterrence. The restoration of Israel's deterrence factor is not a matter of increasing the security budget, as the security lobbyists would have us believe. Just two years ago, Israel's army collapsed in the face of an enemy the size of a mere division – in a war that Israel itself initiated. The problem was not budget. The problem was a loss of common goals that create our cohesiveness and national might. Our lack of deterrence is not due to a lack of tanks or fighter jets - it is due to the fact that our enemies think that our society is disintegrating and that the State of Israel is "weaker than spider webs," in the descriptive words of Nasrallah. A just society understands what it is doing in its land and can produce the power of deterrence that Israel used to have - when it believed that it was right. We will fight for our country because it is ours as explainet in 6 parts at : http://xrl.us/bi5c6

I take strong exception and I take it as a personal insult that you say that "our army collapsed" in the war two years ago. What colapsed was the weak leadership in the offices of PM and DM. The IDF was strong then and is now. Without strong leadership they are severely handicpped. You usually post some pretty good messages but on this particular occasion, you collapsed completely.

For someone who lives in Israel, you are truly disconnected from the society. The fact was that while there were problems with the army, no doubt about it, the general problem with top level decision makers. When you get over 100% call up for reservists, literally men who didn't get that phone call going up to the north to fight, it's a sign of a strong army and a strong belief. When you have men who haven't fought in years, yet still went regardless into the battlefield, there is no stronger belief. It's true that the NCO's and officer corp suffered in many ways but they still operated the best they could. The problem is that the leadership simply put wanted to have a steak without killing a cow. They took the original plans of the IDF and chopped them up into incoherent battle strategies and simply sent soldiers for the sake of the imagery and not with a goal in mind. The biggest failure of this gov't was that instead of combining a massive ground assault along with the huge airforce campaign, they separated the two. Which in reality is pointless, because it allowed Hizb'allah to harden itself for the sustained air campaign, over come the initial shock and finally re-organize after an initial disarray when heavy bombing takes place. So with a dampening of the 'air effect' and muddled ground campaign with no clear direction, of course the army is going to get bogged down. The number of handicaps that the IDF placed on itself was ridiculous, the amount of warnings sent to villages actively aiding hizb'allah and forewarning was criminal neglect of the safety of the soldiers. In the end I can only hope that these elections will be a kind of unanimous change of direction for Israel in regard to leadership.

Can anyone comment as to where one can buy copies of these photos, or a book containing them?

Israel will win every battle when she makes up her mind and follows through.

Our leader have clearly forgotten about all those who have fought and worked to gain every inch of what we have. Even they themselves have forgotten what they have done!
