true and genuine affection. Personally, all our boys, in whatever colour uniform they wear, and whatever colour kumta they have, ARE the angels of this state. They are the ones who give years of their lives protecting this country. Noone should be held in higher regard than the rest. They are all amazing and wonderful.
2. Reservists lack equipment, but there is

money for draft dodging hara-dim! There is money for child allowances for those that never served.Thee is always money for those that never served. Those reservists who are the "backbone" have been discriminated in work, lost hours of overtime pay or were fired.Or had a draft dodger passed over them for advancement in work.My foreman was a coward that never served a second in the I.D.F. People who serve in the I.D.F. should be the first class citizens of Israel. The others should be second class citizens. If there is equipment that is needed, then those that did not serve should pay a defense tax on all members of their families. About 100 shekels per person till the children are old enough to serve,then the children after being sworn in ,should not have to pay the tax.No army service, then they can pay for the rest of their livesor leave Israel forever.
3. I like Peres. He's Zion thick-and-thin.

let us not forget that peres is a president who was not chosen/elected by his people. he was only appointed by the knesset. peres is also the man of the nuclear reactor in dimona and of the nuclear arms of ersatz/substitute "israel". and peres is also the man who ordered the mossad to kidnap mordechai vanunu/john crossman to ersatz "israel" in 1986 from italy. quite an" impressive" list of "achievements" to be proud of, i think. LET MORDECHAI VANUNU/JOHN CROSSMAN GO FREE WHERE HE WANTS TO GO!!!!

There are draft dodgers because some people don't want to sacrifice 3 years of there lives for a $100.00 a month. Israel has some of the highest taxes and the price of goods on average is 3 times as in the States. Israel should pay it's soldiers a minimum of a $1,000.00 a month. Trust me you won't have many draft dodgers and your economy would improve because soldiers will spend more money.
