Marty, we savor hearing your programs.
P.S. “How does Israel make instant life or death battlefield decisions?”
was the topic April 22 at the F4I offices and April 25, 2012
Wednesday evening at 7:30 P.M.
Chabad Of The Grove Synagogue,
3713 Main Highway, Miami (Coconut Grove), Florida, 33133 addressed by
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Reserve
Lt. Col. Ben Tzion Gruber
“Ethics in the Field.”
Col. Gruber explained how the IDF uses the values and ethics of the Talmud
in making battlefield decisions,
even up to the moment of destroying a target.
Only by hearing from the commander of 20,000 soldiers can you fully understand the thought process behind such decisions.
He gave a TERRIFIC
lecture presentation, with amazing, actual battlefield video examples.
We greeted Vice Commander IDF Colonel Ben Gruber on YOM HAZIKARON – ISRAEL MEMORIAL DAY, on a tour from Israel, who has served more than 20 years in the ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES (and who is one of the most compelling speakers wearing the uniform) Read the rave reviews on the website http://www.bentzigruber.com
Col. Gruber shattered myths by presenting FACTS often missing in today’s accounts of the IDF and Israel’s security!
He addressed the IDF’s preventative efforts against terrorist attacks, counter terrorism efforts, and the ethics of the IDF, in locating terrorists within a civilian population.
Additionally he provided first-hand accounts and documentation that will take us behind the front lines of the Gaza flotilla raids and operations (that do NOT make it to the headlines).
