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 fanasties. 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

For the same reason the US military is under the Department of Defense. Except, in the case of the Israeli military, they actually do just stick with defense.
Israel has never fired the first shot in any war they have been in. Their only conflicts have been as the defender. So, there's a very simple solution to avoiding armed conflict with Israel.
Don't attack them.

They are beginning to grate on my nerves with their latest admission that they purposely littered the Lebanese villages with cluster bombs where children will most likely be the victims.
If after all of their dirt, they are allowed into the kingdom of heaven -then they must be praying to a different God. God could not not have chosen these criminals. Check the Israeli newspaper Haaraetz for the cluster bomb admission.
