I'm an American under the influence of the news media, and so it's nice to hear your first hand accounts of the area, people, and culture.<br /><br />I stumbled upon your blog yesterday, while researching Israeli Army through Google. I've enjoyed reading many of your posts, but this one in particular made me feel as though I were walking the patrol with you.<br /><br />Continue to be safe out there.UrbanFresnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079251630322774257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554337268732390744.post-35748906122278402012009-11-06T09:20:46.734+02:002009-11-06T09:20:46.734+02:00sara - you've got a point there.

I haven't commented before, but I've enjoyed reading for awhile and just wanted to say kol hakavod on your first patrol. I have so many friends who have volunteered for the IDF and have endless respect for them, for you and for everyone who serves. Stay safe and strong and know that at least one guy (and I'm sure many others) who you've never met is wishing you the best and sending serious vibes of appreciation in your direction.

It really goes to show how life can be so different on the ground, when you are actually there, rather than the information and sensationalism you get from the media.<br />Keep posting man, this is really cool.<br />Btw obviously this is much different from Iraq (the American's are caught in the middle whereas the Israeli's are an opposing side), do you guys engage in the hearts and minds tactic and really try to build strong relationships as much as you can? And what is the general attitude towards the Palestinians in the IDF, and at your base, squad e.t.c? Also, how is PA police presence around your area? I'd imagine they are not near because of security issues related to your dual presences of force.Oren Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465535777706155802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554337268732390744.post-78247446833640793122009-11-01T07:32:54.449+02:002009-11-01T07:32:54.449+02:00Happy Halloween from Seattle!Happy Halloween from Seattle!Sallusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15167925469540560222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554337268732390744.post-66026228557909081022009-11-01T00:54:26.675+02:002009-11-01T00:54:26.675+02:00Great to hear your finally on patrols!

Like you mentioned, I too have had a few Arab friends here in America. Also a few Palestinian ones straight out of the Bank and even Gaza. While we had our disagreements during the recent flare up in December, I too have been able to experience that Palestinians are just as human and just as normal as anyone. Many in the world seem to think an Israeli and a Palestinian cant be at peace, but that is not the case. Anyways, glad to hear things aren't as bad as they seem for you over there! Still, keep your eyes open, danger is always a possibility. Stay safe, and as our friends in the American military say: OohRah!!Naornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554337268732390744.post-24502103748407610182009-10-31T20:37:06.921+02:002009-10-31T20:37:06.921+02:00Kol ha kavod on your latest post!
