I agree, Sam. I'm downright impressed at the Israeli security forces. I used to criticism them, but that was based on faulty information from the MSM before I discovered the alternative media.
I really can't say why so many Jews in this country are liberal. I don't know enough liberal Jews to form an opinion. I just think the comments so far have been enjoyable and interesting.
Yes, the IDF is a top military force. Israel gets lots of money from the US, both privately and from our government, but so do the Arab countries.
It drives me crazy that Jews tend to be so leftist, so I usually go to these threads if I see them, since I'm concerned personally with the subject.
