They Deleted The Israeli Soldier!

They had to delete the Israeli soldier holding a gun to a baby's head - it was too authentic looking!

As other reviewers have pointed out, this book presents the Israeli side only.  The book includes only two pictures of Arab aircraft and in both cases the planes are shown being shot down; there are no pictures of Arab pilots or discussion of the Arab side.  I felt duped by buying this book (it was shrink wrapped in the store so I couldn't examine it before the purchase), so I wrote to Osprey about how disappointing  it was.  They were sympathetic to my dislike of the book and they sent a replacement title.  This book is primarily a pilot's personal memoir, not a  study or survey of the Arab-Israeli air wars.

What a terrible anti-Polish propaganda! There were no Polish ghettos for God's sake!  There were German ones! There was no Polish state since 1939, September. Poland was INVADED by German Nazis and Polish people had no role in creating concentration camps or ghettos, in fact, many Polish people were killed in those, Poland lost 6 millions citizens there! The book talks about the Nazis, but does not say they were GERMANS. This is so very wrong. Also, there is no other nation, that saved so many Jews, as the Polish people. No other nation received so many Righteous Among the Nations of the World Medals, awarded by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem for saving a life of a Jewish person. Keep in mind that hiding and helping a Jew was punishable by death to your whole family! Shame on the author of that garbage!

Jean Paul-Harroy was the last vice-governor of Rwanda (1960).He and his cronies that included Colonel Guy Logiest and Monseigneur Perraudin,were responsible for the culture of impunity that decimated over one million and a half Rwandans with "Batutsi" ID cards that Belgians had issued back in 1930's. The purpose of issuing these bizarre separate ID cards in a homogeneous land like Rwanda,was to weaken and divide the natives. When the war of Independence started in Africa and the rest of the third world countries,Harroy launched his own war of Independence,where he led those with "Bahutu" ID cards,to kill Batutsi,allegedly, to free them from Batutsi feudalism. All fabricated colonial propaganda,that took so many lives of innocent lives. Please do not buy this book or any other associated with this name.
Thank you,

First of all, nearly every 5-star review looks like a fake designed to drive up the book's ratings: a few perfunctory words about "threats to our freedom" and nothing else. Secondly, this slim book isn't even about ISIS. It's primarily about Hamas, a problem the Israelis themselves created.

In 2009 the Wall Street Journal quoted retired Israeli official Avner Cohen: "Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel's creation." A Tunisian-born Jew who worked in Gaza for more than two decades, responsible for religious affairs in the region until 1994, Mr. Cohen watched the Islamist movement take shape, muscle aside secular Palestinian rivals and then morph into what is today Hamas, a militant group that is sworn to Israel's destruction.

Instead of trying to curb Gaza's Islamists from the outset, says Mr. Cohen, Israel for years tolerated and, in some cases, encouraged them as a counterweight to the secular nationalists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and its dominant faction, Yasser Arafat's Fatah. Israel cooperated with a crippled, half-blind cleric named Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, even as he was laying the foundations for what would become Hamas.

Jay Sekulow is a Christian Zionist and a mouthpiece for the apartheid state of Israel. If only American Christians knew just how much the ultra-Zionist Jews view them with contempt (I'm NOT referring to the vast majority of moderate Jews, or the ultra-orthodox Jews who argue that Zionism is a corruption of Jewish teachings). These political Zionists are glad to take support from Christians, but privately view them as "Goyim," who exist only to serve the Jews. It's a propaganda triumph without equal: they've convinced millions of American Christians that they must support everything the state of Israel does.

Had Mr. Cohen just called the book "Propaganda and the Deceit of History" and left Serbia off the title, it really would be an accurate title for this piece of complete nonsense which obfuscates the truth of WWII Serbian history.

Mr. Cohen is a dentist and not a historian, and can't even read the Serbian language nor even navigate the Cyrillic alphabet.  How could he possibly "find hidden documents" that no other historian has ever seen before?  Answer: He could't!

Phillip Cohen is a paid shill to produce anti-Serb, pro-Croat propaganda which a Jewish name on it.  Given how many Jews and Serbs died at the hands of the WWII Croatian Ustashi and that the few Jews who survived were saved by Serbians, I have no idea how the author sleeps at night!

This book is a total disgrace.  More or less McDougall says that we have a legal right to invade a country, which is/was not threat to us and slaughter their citizens, tear up their country in the name of Christ! So that gives this country a legal right! So that is how you and your ilk convience these young men/women that they are justified to kill people! Shame on McDougall. I would simply call it brainwashing, so these kids are convienced to give up their lives.

So someone in Israel told me to read this & since I'm on a quest to learn about the conflict, I did.

Unfortunately I felt he was ONE sided & other than asking a few key questions about proof in relation to Palestinian houses being demolished, it didn't appear that he truly investigated whether there's any abuse (overall) towards the Arabs.

UNLESS he spent all 6 months investigating the entire country including Gaza & found absolutely NOTHING.

It really felt like he omitted a lot of things. I was surprised when at the end of the book he divulged he had been there for 6 months. He only wrote about 5-6 trips he made (I didn't count), so what did he do for the entire 6 months?

It didn't feel to me that he was objective at ALL, so I wouldn't call him a real journalist. Although, he claims NO other journalist asked the hard hitting questions he did. If that's the case, I did like the questions he claimed to ask of people on the ground who had NO answers or tried to shrug him off. That speaks volumes.

It's amazing to me that most people (not just on this topic) are willing to believe EVERYTHING they hear, so long as it fits their paradigm. Not only that, they are also willing to lie & create propaganda just to sell the BS to others. Nothing irks me MORE, as I'm a TRUTH seeker.

It's one thing for people outside of Israel to go off on a tangent although I don't agree with that either, but we are talking about people INSIDE who are Jewish (and non as well) & have NEVER even visited the places they think are poor & just take the Palestinians' word that they are abused when maybe they aren't. That I found shocking.

I didn't like him calling all Jews who are humanistic or care about Arabs self hating Jews. I found that trait throughout the entire book to be immature. Oh & his constant comments about women disgusted me, &  I happen to be a VERY open minded woman & they still turned me off.

I do NOT find him funny at all. I think I laughed 3-4 times over the course of the 2 weeks it took me to read the book (I didn't read it all in one sitting.) I state this only because so many reviewers said he was funny.

What I did learn about was the antisemitism within the country & the people from EUR countries on the ground THERE, who are trying to bring down the country. This SHOCKED & scared me & I literally felt sick to my stomach & became very depressed in the end.

For that reason alone I feel you should all read the book.

I saw this movie when it came out in theaters. If you want to know more about the reality of the Civil War watch Gone With The Wind. If it's up to me, I'd give this movie no stars because it gives our troops a bad name. There's nothing that justifies desertion. This movie could have been a lot better if Inman never deserted. The fact that he was a deserter and Ada was encouraging him to desert made me not want to root for them.

Want to understand how healthcare, education and infrastructure budgets are slashed while military aid to Israel is increased? Want to really understand why we waste TRILLIONS of dollars slaughtering millions of innocents (and thousands of Americans) in unjust wars, lying about WMDs, etc.? How did our military become the mercenary army of Israel? Want to know how a Mossad (son of founding Mossad Agent) agent could run Homeland Security and write our Patriot Act? Still trying to figure out how Israeli terrorist Netanyahu can spit in our president's face and receive record standing ovations from a ZioPuppet congress as he demands that his US mercenary army attacks Iran, pushing us into yet another disastrous war based on Mossad lies? Ever wonder why the MSM lies about almost everything that's "important'? Curious about NYT columnists assigned to cover the Mideast who have children serving in Israel's IDF? Have you noticed that sporting events like the Super Bowl have become recruiting commercials for the military? Wonder why our police forces are being sent to Israel for crowd control training, etc.? Why do small rural police departments need armored assault vehicles? How can we justify sending armored assault vehicles against Native Americans who are trying to save what little land we allow them to keep? Well, if you can follow the money and understand just how corrupt our government is, how broken our system is, and why we are the most hated country in the world - through this book you'll get answers or at least signposts that will lead you to the truth!

As a veteran of World War Two, I consider what was supposed to be a Salute to veterans and to honor valor an insult. The use of foul language, inapropriate songs and gross dress certainly did not honor veterans. I am enbarrased to think this was telecast world wide. It is no wonder that the image and respect for our great country has diminished throughout the world.

I am so disappointed with this book. I don't need to explain why because other reviewers have already articulated all the reasons very well.
However, I was expecting something much better from Bradley because of his earlier great work, "Flags of Our Fathers." I've given that book as a gift more than any other book.
I wondered why CNN presented a special about this book on their network since it involves former President Bush. Now, I know why; they would want to support a book that falsely justifies the worst atrocities committed against man - the Japanese against the POWs - on America. How sick is that?
The Japanese military culture, which supported "bushido" (way of the warrior) and all its shortcomings, was a modern culture never the less (remember this was the 20th century). Yet, they couldn't understand why their enemy would surrender. Since the enemy surrendered, then the Japanese soldier could brutalize the POW in any fashion that he fancied.
James Bradley is a major embarrassment. I will never give "Flag of Our Fathers" as a gift again since I now know Bradley's hidden agenda. Sad, isn't it? His father was the last surviving flag raiser at Iwo Jima and look what his son has done now. DO NOT BUY FLYBOYS!

My title reflects one reviewer who says that this movie tries to humanize a suicide bomber. What the hell is a person who blows himself up, an alien? You fools need to understand that he was once a child like you and grew up in a place similar to hell. This movie does not fairly portray the humiliating lives that Palestinians have lived for 30 years!! Some Palestinian once told me that he was at a checkpoint to get to another city and the Israeli soldier told him to bark like a dog if he wanted to get by, he did. Guess what..the soldier said that wasn't enough, he had to get on his knees and bark. Thats only a peice of the death and destruction they have lived among.

You people who said you won't even watch it, what the hell are you doing a rview if you won't watch it you idiot! This is a movie that comes close to letting you in the lives of people who have suffered and what happens as a result of that suffering. There would be no such thing as a Palestinian suicide bomber, if the Jews didn't take over the whole damn state. Do not tell me that the Arabs invaded them so they have a right to it. They never had a right to any of the land in the first place, but we can thank the British for giving them the handout that started something called a Middle East Problem. Read this book if you want to know more about the history of Israel.. Arabs and Israel for begginers.

Within the first few moments of the film when I heard the words "occupation/occupiers" I had the wisdom to know that this was going to be at the least bias and at the worst anti-Jew anti-Israel.  The only illegal occupiers of the land are the Arabs.  I'm not going to waste my time with a long, drawn out review.  I'd suggest another video entitled, "The Forgotten Refugees."

What a ridiculous pile of drivel! Not even close to reality for what a seal or special forces type can really do....fortunately! I understand  what "suspension of disbelief" means, but I can't stand this garbage anymore! Was bored waiting on some true masters of the trade to write there next when I happened on this series, and after reading 90% of Cains Crusaders I just couldn't deal with it anymore. This story sucks! You had a good idea going the screwed it up with letting the pros make one bungling retard mistake after another. They are sooooo much better and smarter than your characters portrayal! Our special forces troops are worlds smarter and more capable than you portray them to be! I'm embarrassed that I read the all five of the first series, let alone most of series two, part one! Wish I could get my money back! Don't waste your time with this writer. He's clueless!

So the reader-reveiwers are upset that a professional review by a "Goldberg" was published on the book info. page? That is as racist as to assume that every "Mohammed" and "Ahmed" who reviewed the book is automatically anti-Israel and pro-terrorist.

Fact #1: There has NEVER been a country of Palestine. It is a ficticious name given to the land where Israel had been as an act of ethnic cleansing by the Romans (after the intifada of Bar Kochva was brutally put down and most of the citizens exiled). Jerusalem has no historical meaning to the Palestinians - it is important to them for its Islamic holy sites. Read your history books.

Fact #2: There are Palestinians. Their identity as a people has only existed since the 1960's (is there even a letter "p" in the Arabic alphabet?), but they have as much right to live in freedom and self-determination as anyone. Their dire situation is mostly the result of their refusal to give up violence as a means to destroy the Jewish state, and they are pawns of the larger Arab/Muslim world in this respect.

The only solution is for the Palestinians and the rest of the Arab/Muslim world to understand that the Jewish people have a right to live in freedom and self-determination, as do the Palestinians and all of God's children.

Once the hatred and violence stops, then the extremist elements of Israeli society will have no more pretext for occupation and humiliation of the Palestinians, and a country of Palestine will be created. Until then, Israel cannot give up land to people sworn to the murder of Jews, just because they are Jews.

Like it or not, to only blame the Jews for this situation, as Carter does, is classic anti-semitism. This book only serves to inflame, not to inform. Shame on Jimmy Carter for squandering his prestige and legacy with this one-sided diatribe.

I was outraged at the anti Blaik, anti Army football theme of this man's book, always referring to the football team as "Brave Old Army Team". It's obvious a man with an axe to grind cannot write an objective book. I can define this book in three word's. This Book Stinks!!!

Army football would never be the same after the cheating scandal of 1951, which saw 37 players (83 total plus many firsties who got off the hook) expelled from the Academy, including Blaik's son. Blaik, under pressure from Douglas MacArthur, stayed on and rebuilt his shattered team. (Hear that Blackwell, rebuilt his shattered teams.) In 1958, Army led by Heisman award winner, Pete Dawkins, was undefeated. Dawkins would go on to become a national hero in Vietnam, as would another West Point football hero, Bill Carpenter, the so-called "lonely end."

Blackwell would have you believe that this was a "Football Scandal"  Remember this Blackwell: A famous plaque at Michie Stadium bears a quote from Gen. George Marshall: "I want an officer for a secret and dangerous mission. I want a West Point football player."
