The IDF Is a Symbol of Jewish Self-Defense
(Telegraph-UK) Stephen Daisley - The IDF is a conscript army made up mostly of Jews. It is not just Israel's army; it is the symbol and the substance of Jewish self-defense and Jewish sovereignty. Without the IDF, there would be no Israel. As the Passover Haggadah observes: "In every generation they rise up to destroy us." The restoration of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel was about ensuring that future generations had a means of defending themselves. More would come to destroy them, but this time they'd be prepared. Strong Jews, sovereign Jews, Jews you can't push around. These concepts are now lived out every day in Israel. Political anti-Zionism is a project to separate the Jewish people from the theory and practice of Jewish self-determination. The Israeli army is all that stands between "death to the IDF" and "death to the Jews."
