Pieter In this matter, it possibly is a situation of opposing mindsets. One being the American side using the corporate methodology of the checkers checking the checkers to be always safe. In this manner. Whilst possibly the opposite, is the Israelies. It is not a matter of time to wast, for whilst in this time, the enemy is building up a weapon that is not just possible, but a surety as the weapon that would/will destroy Israel. The USA is surrounded by friends of two borders, a very large distance of ocean from their enemies. Israel is surrounded by enemies with the sea at their backs. For them, their is no place to run or hide. If to share a bit of patience, the following is very good as presented by: Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz of the IDF His message: Military Challenges currant with The Iranian Nuclear Threat. www.idf.il/1283-14743-EN/Dover.aspxKarl |

Israel is surrounded by enemies and the USA knows the threat of domestic terrorism of an a radical islamist minority within the Muslim communities of the USA. I know the Israeli militairy doctrine and strategy. They have a small territory and can't afford a war on it's territory nor a Nuclear threat, because the country can be easily wiped off of the map of the Middle east and the Globe. The main doctrine of the IDF ( Tzahal) consists of the following principles: Basic points- Israel cannot afford to lose a single war- Defensive on the strategic level, no territorial ambitions - Desire to avoid war by political means and a credible deterrent posture - Preventing escalation - Determine the outcome of war quickly and decisively - Combating terrorism - Very low casualty ratio The very interesting documentry " Living with the sword" about the Israeli army in three parts (patly in Dutch and partly in English) shows that Israeli military doctrine (Basic point nr.1) very well! Part 1 Living with the sword - From war to war www.joodseomroep.nl/:programma/leven+met+het+zwaard/deel+1+van+oorlog+tot+oorlog_136235.htmlPart 2 Living with the sword - the army and the Israeli society www.joodseomroep.nl/:programma/leven+met+het+zwaard/deel+2+leger+en+samenleving_ab6584.htmlPart 3 - Living with the sword, the Iron dome (the active selfdefense) www.joodseomroep.nl/:programma/leven+met+het+zwaard/deel+3+uitdaging+en+toekomst_01d305.html |
