Comparison of Military Tactics in Conflict

If the Nazis acted like the Israel Defense Forces.

Before entering a neighborhood, the German army drops paper leaflets from

planes,

telling Jewish families exactly which areas to leave and

which roads lead to

safety. Every afternoon, the fighting halts for several hours,

a daily

ceasefire, letting Jewish families gather food,

water, and medicine along a

marked route. Before a strike, the German army telephones Jewish

families to warn them, calling homes one by one so everyone can

get

out before the building is hit. The German army repaired the water pipes

and

switched the electricity back on for Jewish civilians in the very neighborhoods

it

is still fighting to take. At relief stations

and field hospitals across the

line, German troops hand out food and treat wounded Jewish civilians,

even in beds meant for their own soldiers.

Along the coast, the German command sets aside a protected

zone for Jewish

civilians and urges families to move there, where the army provides tents,

clean water, food, and medical care.

For three full days, the fighting stops along the whole front,

so German

doctors can go house to house and vaccinate Jewish children against

polio.

The Nazis did none of this.

The Israel Defense Forces do all of this in war
