Learning from Israel
Israel is in a tight spot. That tiny nation of a few million people is surrounded by folks who hate them as a people and as a country. In fact, many refuse to even recognize Israel as a legitimate country.
Israel has been attacked on several occasions by the Arab/Muslim nations. Each time, despite overwhelming odds against them, Israel has won decisively. How did they win, with God's interventions of course, but also with superior armaments and superior guile. Both seem necessary to survive in a hostile world.
I recently read an interesting story about the apparent guile of the Israeli's. It shows how they are combating Iran's infamous and irrational threats to destroy them with atom bombs. Most of us figure that Israel will bomb Iran back into the Stone Age before they can attack Jerusalem, and, they may. However, they seem to have other ways much less deadly that can be applied in this war. Read about it in The Statesman.
Tell me what you think about this. Cane we learn about modern warfare from it?
