This "Women in combat" thing as been an ongoing debate here at FR for sometime. Sometimes I'll jump in and post sometimes I don't. But as for Israel. It's a country the size of Santa Barbara county in California with a population of about 8 million of which about six million are Jewish. They are surrounded by Arab/Muslim countries. They cannot lose any conflict or war because Israel would be destroyed.

All the world wants both Israel and Jews destroyed.

Of course I would expect a web site like World News Daily to come up with a story like that. I guess they also debunk the women in combat in the Red Army during WWII.

I've read about female squadrons in the Red Army's air corps, they served effectively.

But in my reading about the Eastern Front, I've never run across references to mass formations of Soviet women in uniforms, which one would expect to do if women were serving generally in the ranks. Yes, the Soviets recruited women, and they served on all fronts, but they were rear-echelon people like our WAVES and WACS and the Royal Navy WRENs. Lots of WRENs served in Whitehall and Bletchley Park, but none went down with HMS Repulse.
