I think you missed his point however without any fundamental knowledge of history, I'm not sure it would have mattered.

Oh, I got his point: Israel is constantly under attack from Muslim neighbors, and Muslims would like to kill every Israeli man, woman, and child.

I just disagree with his conclusion: It is therefore necessary for all Israeli women to become combat soldiers.

Perhaps we need to review a little more history. The IDF does NOT want women in combat roles. After the 1948 war an internal study concluded there were too many problems with their deployment and women were excluded from combat for decades.

Left wing politicians in the Knesset have forced the IDF to add women to combat units. They are still under pressure to pick up the pace of change, and have faced charges of dragging their feet for not doing so.
