As they say "for your mouth the voice of God". The trouble is that there is a lot of Yetzer HaRa goin` down in Zahal that inhibits some of your good intentions.

No women has to be involuntarily place in a situation where she has to complain about a man who is harrassing her, not in the work place, and not in the Army. It happens, and if women weren`t inducted, the only issue is the "other form of sexuality" which would crop up to plague the pages of this newspaper.

The shame is that the IDF put up with some of the grossest violations of sexual harrassment by some of our greatest military heros. Finally, it took one woman, and then another to take Yitzhak Mordechai on for what he, and others were doing for decades.

In a perfect world all officers would gentlemen and respect the women who served with them, but . . . Zahal is not known for being perfect in the way it treats its female personnel.
