BDE – why is it always in multiples?! May hasham watch over them
is this RESTRAINT??
In a statement, Washington urged “restraint” in the hours before the truce begins at 8:00 a.m. Israel time (0500 GMT) on Friday.
Way too many Israeli casualties. We need another Arik Sharon.
The Israeli army is demoralized and is no longer the army of old, hence less Nissim.
Way to many casualties, Hashem should have mercy on his Yiddish Kinder.
We should it all bear in mind the very ominous fact that these young boys died for a war that is futile and in vain. Nothing is being accomplished only that Hamas is targeting at their enemies………………..
gotta find a way to take them out without loosing so many…………..
Arik Sharon? Do you have a short memory? Who got us into this mess?
We will never know what Arik Sharon’s plan. My gut AMD Ariks history tells me we wouldve been proud of his plan.
It was a sad day when we were kicked out of Gaza. And Ariks destiny, the one who made us proud and showed the world that we can and know how to fight back, will forever be stuck with his move in Gaza.
What a shame.
All this proves is one thing. Not one more inch of land in the West Bank or Golan Heights to our enemies.
The point is, it seems there is no real leadership of the IDF at the moment.
