Didn’t much matter seeing as how God fought that war for Israel . . . He is still on the throne and Israel is forever His chosen people.

"The Israel Air Force commander, Maj.-Gen. Benny Peled, would not see the photographs until days later. They showed Egyptian tanks, fuel and supply trucks, troop carriers, and other vehicles lined up for miles, packed together virtually bumper to bumper on narrow desert roads waiting to cross into Sinai on pontoon bridges being assembled in the water."

Can't help but wonder: "Why the delay with the photointel?

The revised edition of The Yom Kippur War by Abraham Rabinovich, published this month by Schocken (New York), includes previously censored material as well as information that has emerged from memoirs and other sources since the book was originally published in 2004.

I would be interested in seeing this book. I don't see anything on Amazon or the publisher's website about this new edition.

How important was Operation Nickel Grass?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Mr. GG2 was standing on the Golan Heights with IDF when the first rockets came across. They handed him an AK asked him if he knew how to use it. He said yes and they pointed to a nearby wire and a foxhole. Told him to kill anything that came across the wire and they would be back for him later. Much later.

He watched the battle unfold and later went down to the valley with the IDF and walked past the burnt out Syrian tanks with charred bodies hanging out of the tops.

He also said he saw quite a few “Israeli” pilots wearing Tony Llama boots. And a whole lot of other stuff he can’t talk about. Hella experience for a 22 year old California boy who was out on a self discovery trip about his ethnic roots.

...and let’s not forget that Israel had a female Prime Minister during that war, and as we are always told by the feminists, and likely the case here, female leaders are less likely to be belligerent than men...and so Israel sat on its butt and nearly got wiped out for it.
