Not home alone: Foreigners came to Israel's rescue in 1948

To the ---- who was saying derogatory things the volunteers were instrumental in stopping the massacre of Jews something that all the anti Israel posters regret.well this land is ours once again and the Arabs cannot handle being ruled by non Arabs but just remember that country's like Saudi Arabia Yemen etc wiped out their strong Jewish populations in the name of Islam.I am all for living on peace with the Arabs but they have never treated us as equals and even now they call for our anohilation no matter which country we live in.AS USUAL Haaretz does not post what I write as they say the truth hurts which is why left us hate us so much.

The IDF should revert the decision which forbade people to come from abroad to serve in the ranks. There is a serious lack of soldiers, and foreign volunteers might just solve that problem.

Great.Let's make sure that they are included individually in the war crimes commission when it eventuates. I'm sure some of these lovely characters were involved in the ethnic cleansing of more than 530 Palestinian villages.

I hope the exhibit pays tribute to Mickey Marcus, West Point graduate and American veteran of WWII, who answered Ben Gurion's call to provide military expertise to Israel. Marcus did far more, becoming, under the alias Michael Stone, the first Israeli general in 2,000 years.

they must regret the crimes and injustice they've committed in their youth.

Very interesting! Who were the non-Jews?

Many Scots also answered the call I recall one occasion when Scots fooled the Brits and took their weapons Abi gezunt
