True the Jews could have mounted a suicidal Resistance and taken Alot more Nazis to death but had few weapons .Enough Fighters but no weapons .In other Armies Russian Allied many fought we'll ought be Included .

surprising how well might and right go together. practiced by the big boys. emulated by some others. it takes lots of resources, including human but it ensures existence. war also creates new technology that benefits people. Israel is brains over brawn. with a lot of clever muscle added. tough to beat. in the long run we hope.

The Jewish people of Israel had powerful armys in the past. Powerful for their time like IDF is for our time. But as Jews we must do whatever we can but also remember that without god we have nothing. So yes, spending money and doing everything within our means to protect ourselves is a must, a commandment because doing anything less would be suicide, a big sin. BUT the torah warns about Jews saying to themselves its all me, the power of my hands alone (Deuteronomy / Devarim 8:17). What better way to honor the armys of the best by: A) doing our best to defend ourselves B) acknowledge and believe that without god we are nothing God Bless the state of Israel, and may he avenge the blood of our fallen heros!

Do the dead soldiers gain anything by Israelis standing for a minute or 2 like idiots? ABSOLUTELY NOT! A JEWISH country should have loudspeakers all over the land announcing KADDISH for the fallen soldiers and every Jew answers Amen, Yehe Sheme Raba... This is what they would appreciate and even their families would appreciate the government "remembering" their fallen family members. Time to stop the stupidity of a dumb siren.

The IDF would have an easier job if Netanyahu would stop releasing terrorists from jail. But then the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Dont forget the Source !. Arn.Sweden.

In 2002, under orders from Ehud Barak, the IDF stopped defending Jews to allow the Israeli government to "negotiate" with Arafat, Park Hotel followed. In 2005, under orders from the Sharon Gang with support of Livni and Olmert, the IDF violently ethnically cleansed Gush Katif of Jews. Thanks to that act of stupidity, Hamas and Hezbollah changed from terrorist gangs to become strategic threats. Now, instead of using the IDF to prevent the slaughter of Jews, Netanyahu is repeating the actions of his corrupt predecessors.

Makes us sound like farmyard animals. Jews are part of the human race and talk of slaughter is just playing on fear. Instead of evoking an image of separateness and a siege mentality any decent leader would try to encourage an image of Israel that is part of humanity. This is what Israel needs

B"H - That the Zionists usurp even the Shoa and the grief of victims of terror and war is bad enough, but this using these sentiments to promote their own agendas and idols every year is outright sickening! In Judaism Hashem protects the nation, if it complies with Torah and it is Him who gives us our enemies as a punishment for non compliance. The more we worship the State and the IDF, the more and more nasty enemies we will have!

He is serving you to those who have literally eaten you by ordering those sworn to protect you to instead destroy you. He destroyed you in the first land of the first Jew and voted over&over&over&over again to destroy you in the A of YeShA. Never does he order those sworn to remove the threat to effectively protect you by enforcing the right of genocidal mass murdering extortionists return back to the homicidal Hamite peninsular homeland of their own name. The PMO and DMO both exact their self proclaimed Fist to destroy you with their evil dictates by ordering those sworn to remove the threat but instead remove you who love the land of your own name that protects you. The GOI, PMO DMO disarm you and abandon you and those sworn to prtect you to be mutilated and literally eaten. They release the mad asses of men back into your midst. The PMO and DMO are recidivist betrayers of their oath to serve you except that they literally serve you to those that literally eat you.
