And, in the last 10 years NOT ONE ISRAELI SOLDIER CAPTURED HAS BEEN RETURNED ALIVE.<BR/><BR/>Instead, they have suffered from months to years of captivity and serious torture, followed by a horrific death.<BR/><BR/>The enemy is not practicing the Geneva convention. You can't pretend they don't do those things when you go into battle, rather you must have a suggested response. "Take them with you as you go" is a response guaranteed to reduce the enemy's motivation to attempt such kidnappings.<BR/><BR/>And that final point is halachic motivation as well.<BR/><BR/>Horrific is the enemy, you must be prepared to operate in that context.Akivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042484533217272945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-45464166451331562022009-01-26T21:06:00.000-05:002009-01-26T21:06:00.000-05:00This gives me the chills.This gives me the chills.Erachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660802321998349072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-31305540967792178732009-01-26T19:59:00.000-05:002009-01-26T19:59:00.000-05:00G- you said it bestG- you said it bestthe only way i knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527442357164907984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-41403611865541467392009-01-26T17:59:00.000-05:002009-01-26T17:59:00.000-05:00That sounds really horrible.

What a huge departure from te previous policy of not leaving anyone behind. <BR/>If Yediot Aharonot has publicized this, then I think that the IDF needs to make a statement confirming or denying this. Otherwise, parents may not be quite so willing to send their children to the army.SuperRaizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742653185025562286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-13608819564047946092009-01-26T17:24:00.000-05:002009-01-26T17:24:00.000-05:00That was my first thought...That was my first thought...Ezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12494592434522239195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-23397459495019867362009-01-26T17:15:00.000-05:002009-01-26T17:15:00.000-05:00Is this a first step in defeating your enemy only ...Is this a first step in defeating your enemy only to realize that you have become him?Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08512231582715592098noreply@blogger.com
