RE:
IDF Cowards!!!
※→ theliq, Hollie, P F Tinmore, et al,
This entire threat is controversial even at best. I saw this back
at Posting #11; and its not wrth the time to try an convince that a perspective is skewed to one side. Especially if it is a discussion between the open-minded and the anti-IDF or antisemitic.
(COMMENT)
In most cases, the complaints, such as those lodged by our friend P F Tinmore, are intentionally directed at people who have little understanding of what is going-on. Most case of a Israeli-Palestinian entanglement in the West Bank at not with the IDF; but rather with Israeli Border Police.
In most case, and pictures, the Israeli Border Police are mistaken for IDF, but are actually attempting to protect the interests of both the Israeli and the Arab Palestinian; performing the equivalent of the duties required under
Article 43 Hague Regulation. The Israeli Border Police
(formerly the Frontier Corps) is the
Gendarmerie of the Greater Israel Police. The Border Police are construed to be performing police duties with jurisdiction in civil law enforcement. It is a concept known and recognized throughout Europe; with the examples being the Central Security Forces (Egypt), the General Directorate of Gendarmerie (Jordan), and the Internal Security Forces (Lebanon). The Syrian Gendarmerie was demobilized in 1958 was trying to represent itself as part of the United Arab Republic (Egypt + Syria). In the case of Pan-Arabism, there can only be one National Police or Gendarme. Most of all the Middle East is familiar with the concept. They would not confuse the Israeli Border Police for the IDF.
These are Police Officers - not - IDF.
Second: The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has engaged nearly all the Arab League Military Forces, and multiple occasions, numerous time. Not once has the Arab League Forces, even in a sneak attack scenario, has the IDF shown anything but valor and combat success. Rather than destroy the Egyptian 3rd Army while they had it encircled, they demilitarized it and allowed it to return to Egypt. There has been no armed force anywhere in the Arab League that has distinguished themselves more than the IDF.
Finally, most all clashes between Israeli Forces and the Arab Palestinian are a consequence of Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) provocation or incitement to riot. The hardest part of Article 43 HR has been events regarding public disturbances and the response to programed demonstrations and unlawful gatherings.
Cowardice is when a band of Arab Palestinians stops a bus and kills all the unarmed adult passengers (mostly women) and an additional 13 children. Then has the gull to make a hero out of the leader of the renegades.
One day, the Arab Palestinians will have a "finest hour." But in the last 70 years, they haven't had one yet.
Most Respectfully,
