I find it amusing that some Western countries still admire the Israeli army for its 'strengh'. I've met some ex-IDF soldiers and believe me, they're a bunch of scared, little, prepubescent boys without they're M-16s, Merkava tanks, and all the other weaponry they bury themselves under. In fact, those that I have come across seem to be really ashamed of what they've done in the occupied territories. Killing kids at point blank range, demolishing homes, uprooting olive trees, beating protesters to death, humiliating entire families...the list goes on. This army was supposed to be an example for others to emulate. Instead, it's composed of nothing but sadists who are given an opportunity to carry out their sick fantasies. Firing a tank shell at a 12 year-old stone thrower? Running over a Palestinian in a wheelchair? Bulldozing a home with a family still inside? Those brave Jews who perished fighting in the Warsaw ghettos must be so ashamed at what the state of Israel has become
