Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's oldest son has begun his mandatory three-year military service.

Netanyahu accompanied his son Yair to a military induction center in Jerusalem Tuesday to see him off.

The 18-year-old Yair boarded a bus to another army base where he will be processed. He will then go through three weeks of basic training before joining the military spokesman's office.

Yair will be the army's only private with a personal bodyguard.

Netanyahu himself was an officer in an elite Israeli commando unit. The prime minister has another son, Avner, with his wife Sara and an older daughter, Noa, from a previous marriage.

OOps, missed that. You are certainly right. Aloha

Thanks Cinnamon Girl

[fish hawk]

Thank you for that. I passed it along to all my friends and family with this note: This is going to piss some of you off, especially if you are a mindless liberal. Or, you can learn from it. If any of you find one thing that is not the truth in this thread, be sure and let me know. (with some proof)

[Cinnamon Girl]

Awesome. If any of the pictures disappear (which happens) I’ll try to repost the whole thing because I saved it on my computer.

[fish hawk]

LOL, I'm going to get a lot of flack from sending that out as Liberal Zero lovers abound in my circle of friends and family. The flaming letters should be coming back to me at any moment. I don't usually send these out to the far left friends as I don't want to upset them but I am getting so disgusted with our idiotic tyrannical president that I'm getting to not care if they get upset or not.

You are so right, Deb. See Bibi at 7:22 I lost my brother

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (R) and his Defence Minister Ehud Barak attend a memorial ceremony for the former's brother, Yoni, at the military cemetery in Mt. Hertzel in Jerusalem on June 28, 2009. Yoni Netanyahu was killed in 1976 during the Antebe operation to free Israeli hostages.

FYI - Most of the weapons are Vietnam era cast-offs from the US military.

[Deb]

He just destroys me. I’m now at the point where I can’t watch any of the movies about Entebbe. The Israeli military is astonishing.

[elhombrelibre]

All, Of course, I meant Bibi's son's uncle. The tradition of service is obviously continuing in this family that's paid a heavy price maintaining liberty for our faithful ally. At the risk of sounding vain, I can say Israel has done and does do more than the public knows to help the USA.

We FREEPERs cannot overlook the contributions of Israel to the common defense of the civilized (and especially the democratic world). The barbarians and their Left wing sympathizers, who are forever telling us not to demonize Saddam (may he rest in hell), the mad mullahs in Iran, Kim Jong-Il, and Castro, may complain about Israel doing what it must to protect itself. As for me, I cheer them and only wish their enemies would end their ideology of hate and mass murder.

[elhombrelibre]

Yes, of course, the lad’s uncle.

[elhombrelibre]

Ping.

Not many Americans know that every Israeli town, city and village has at least one minaret or mosque. Muslims and arabs are part of the Israeli population. However, you will find no Jews in Palestine. No live ones.
