I'm sure most Israeli's would rather have it such that they didn't need to worry about military action with their neighbors.

Again, only two of the five pics are of military equipment.

what part of "hot" didn't you understand?

how can you tell they aren't hot? you can't see the faces of most of them.

You know there is more than one picture, right? You sure are confused a lot :laugh:

doh, i didn't scroll down far enough (didn't have the window maximized) so i didn't see the buttons for next and whatnot.

Actually, the violent crime rate, especially homocides over all and homocides with guns in Israel is much lower than the US, even though far more homes have firearms in them.

Israel and Switzerland blow away the "more homes with guns cause more crime" nonsense.

you guys dont realize that the news reeaallly exaturates on how the condition is in israel. It is just like any other place. In the time I have been here not once have I gotten even a thought about terrorism. there are always soldiers walking around with a m16 on every street. no arab would try to do anything the ones that do get lucky. the IDF (israel defence forces) soldiers get punished if their gun isnt on their shoulder so they alsways leave it on. I thought I was scared before I got here but when i walked through the airport door, i realized I was going to be fine. trust me on this one ISRAEL IS SAFE. unless u have visited here and got caught in a suicide bomb, you cant say its not safe. everywhere you go there is security you cant enter a mall unless you get inspected. besides 99% of muslims that live in Israel are peaceful and the neighborhoods are usually never mixed its almost always a single religion in a neighborhood.

and how often do you see the US military walking around your town? i don't unless its maybe a parade.

there's a reason they are walking around with m16s, isn't there?

"soldiers walking around with a[n] m16 on every street" (op, pg1) is not considered a healthy lifestyle by most people.

That isn't to say there aren't nice sights to see and people to meet over there for his [OPs] vacation, but I think it's obvious that they live in fear.

The comment I am replying to was about the pictures.

I know that Israel needs massive security because it is surrounded by nations that seek to destroy it and often infiltrated by their agents.

My point was there were 3 non-military pictures up there they ignored.

Well the OP seems to think that the military is a part of what makes Israel "awesome." Maybe it wasn't clear, but my point was that it isn't the need to be militarized that makes Israel awesome. Those other pictures are a good example of some of the beauty of Israel.

Uh....

If you need armed guards on every street corner and security checkpoints to get a Starbucks, safety is the least of your concerns.

Yeah, wonderful place to live. But it's safe! :roll:

Fsck. We're all fscked if this is the mentality the world is going to take on.

Well, for the military buff, Israel's army is awesome. It is, man for man, the best in the world. It's sad they are forced to be that way, but one can still admire it.

 

[fallenangel99]

I think all women (ages 18-25 lets say) in U.S. should go through training like the Israeli girls.. wow!

Yes it is quite formitable. I just see it as a necessary evil is all.

One of my good friends from my childhood is Israeli - I remember how his parents had to frequently fly back and serve in the military there. I think that is when I first realized how different this part of the world is than many other places.

On another note, I would love to see Israel in person. My old roommate went there recently as part of a birthright trip. I am considering doing that myself, just need to get the vacation time from work first!

Yeah--isn't it mandatory to serve for 1-2 years there? Crappy deal, but I guess that is the price they pay to have a country.

ofcourse there is a reason if they didnt do that there would be a suicide bomb every day because the crazy shmucks like to kill everyone.


P.S.- I agree with a person that told me this certain story. Terrorist are the worst kind of people in the world that i completly disrespect. because i have a story, a bus full of elementary kids like in 1st and 2nd grade was going along the lebanease border and there was a military escort infront and behind it but the terrorist shot an anti tank missle at the bus and killed all the kids. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL kids. a second part of the story is the the person respects the enemy soldiers from the other countries because they both have the same orders from their government kill the enemy unlike the terrorist.

P.P.S.- if anyone thinks the IDF is ruthless people you really have to be dumb because i was talking to a guard and she told me that they are trained NEVER to kill. she once shot someone because he was going crazy but it was a gut shot she had a clear shot at his head neck or anywhere else. he ended up dieing from the wound on the way to the hospital AND the guard was the one who called the ambulance. she also explained to me that they never shoot to kill but to neutralize the target because if they enemy is endangering civilians if you neutralize the target bring them to the hospital heal them and put them in jail now what can the do. unlike the arabs they care about their enemies.

how can you call the constant threat of being attacked safe?

 

[Freshgeardude]
