While many “progressive feminists” in the West, for reasons that are entirely unclear, choose to take part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations, apparently unaware of how they would fare in a society run by fanatical Muslims such as those of Hamas, the most effective feminists in the world, who have now shown conclusively that they can perform as well as men in that most masculine of undertakings — war fighting — have been defending their tiny state, Israel, against those who would destroy it. More on their feats of derring-do can be found here: “Squad of female IDF combat troops eliminated nearly 100 Hamas terrorists,” Jerusalem Post, October
Only a few have had the chance to witness the extraordinary actions of the Caracal Battalion during their battle against Hamas terrorists.
Lt.-Col Or Ben-Yehuda, the commander of this unit, now recounts her experience in the southern Gaz Strip, where her battalion eliminated approximately 100 terrorists. She also has a clear message for those who question the capabilities of female fighers in the Caracal (Desert Lynx) and Tank Battalion.
As the assault on the Gaza border area began, Ben-Yehuda swiftly moved from the battalion headquarters in Nahal Raviv to a post on the Egyptian border with armored personnel carriers. Rockets were raining down, and warnings arrived regarding potential terrorist infiltration in the Shlomit and Bnei Netzer towns.
In the midst of this chaos, she received a message from Lt.-Col. Yonatan Tzur, the commander of the Nahal Brigade’s patrol battalion, who was later tragically killed in an encounter with terrorists. He reported an infiltration near Sufa and Nirim, saying, “There are several terrorists there… They’re heavily armed!”
Ben-Yehuda summoned troops from the mixed-gender, infantry combat Caracal Battalion and made her intentions clear: “We are going out to eliminate terrorists. Infiltration into Israel is happening, and it’s spreading. Stay alert. We might cross paths. We are a strong squad.”…
In total, her battalion eliminated around 100 terrorists. She hopes this serves as proof that there should be no more doubts about female combat soldiers. “Their training and performance on the battlefield have erased any doubts. They fought bravely, saved lives, and emerged as heroes,” she said.
Ben-Yehuda also highlighted the dedication of the commanders who rushed from home to join the fight.
She concluded: “There are no more doubts about female combat soldiers, who have triumphed in every encounter with terrorists. At present, we are responsible for 11 towns and are preparing for any potential ground maneuvers to ensure the safety of the southern Gaza border area and the Egyptian border.”
How humiliating it must be for Hamas that one hundred of its operatives were defeated so decisively, and “neutralized” (i.e., killed) by the female soldiers of the IDF’s Caracal Battalion.. How inspiring for girls and women everywhere, or at least for those who haven’t yet succumbed to the antisemitic virus that has been going around, to learn of the IDF women’s battlefield feats.
Thing is a woman against a man one one one with no weapons is usually not going to go her way. Just a difference in size, strength and athleticism. But give anyone a gun and a small man can now beat a big man, an even smaller woman can defend against any man. Thus the 2nd Amendment allows people to defend themselves properly. Women should be the biggest supporters of the 2nd as well as open or conceal carry.
So same in the military, women with guns, riding a tank, flying a fighter jet plane can do the job. It’s not equal, it’s just the ability to be effective.
Absolutely right, when the leftist elites call for gun bans they are removing what they call for in every other aspect of life, equality.
Not equality – because equality is not sameness. Self-defense. Because a woman is no match for a man, as a general rule, and is more likely to be the target of aggression.
“G0d made men; Col. Colt made men and women equal.” Said somebody, somewhere, maybe.
Eactly right.. but one small but critical correction:
that Secnd Article f Ammendment “allows” nothing. It is an ORDER aimed directly at government to keep their grubby paws off our god-given RIGHT to go about armed as WE see fit, with the very same level of weapons the military and law enforcement have if we so choose.
that Aricle speaks to GOVERNMENT and says “leave tthem alone”.
I agree women can do many things in war that men can do, but I still believe women do not belong in combat. We destroy male unit cohesion. Our presence in a combat battalion arouses feelings of protectiveness from the men. We cannot carry as much weight, including the weight of a wounded comrade.
When a woman is taken as a war prisoner, she will likely be treated abominably because of her sex and this knowledge affects her unit more deeply than if she were a man.
Combat battalions should have unwavering high standards which do not change according to gender. If there is a woman who is outside the bell curve, who has the heart of a marine, let her qualify and become as one of the boys.
Ordinarily I would agree with everything you say, as in normal times it would be correct. But these are no normal times. The war made its way into Israeli women’s nurseries and bedrooms. They have no choice but to fight right now. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Lightbringer, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I sleep with a .38 revolver loaded with plus p hollow points.. I am a good shot, and very calm and deliberate under pressure. I would kill without hesitation or remorse anyone who enters my house with evil intent.
But I am not suited to combat with the marines or navy seals. I think we are in agreement, but you took me to mean women CANNOT fight in defense of themselves or their families. We can fight and we nowadays we must be ready to do so.
The conflict that is coming with the treasonous encouragement of our own government will be unimaginably brutal.
The IDF womens corps has a Facebook page. The women are all fit. Pictures, I’ve seen of USA women soldiers, is another story.
Unfit? You should see pictures of South Africa’s defence and police forces! Talk about “Two-ton Tess’s”! Last year, there was a parade of senior “officers’ (Men and Women), and they couldn’t even MARCH in the same direction. The hilarious sight of a bunch of fat, uniformed people colliding with each other on a parade ground should be a strong deterrent – Anyone watching would be incapacitated with laughter!
I know, let’s put our latest collection of fat, slovenly, pronoun obsessed, black female West Point grads up against the Israeli female fighters, who just took out 100 Hamasian scum, in the field right now and see who comes out on top.
I’ll put my money on the Israelis.
Imagine what a female Israeli FIREFIGHTER looks like compared to the behemoths in NYC who can’t climb a six foot ladder!
In WW II Russia had Women Fighter Piolets shooting down German Planes
I’m reminded of Deborah leading 10,000 warriors against the Canaanites on the Jezreel plain and defeating them.
Deborah did not lead, but went with the leader, Barak.
And the killing of Sisera, commander of the enemy army, was the work of Jael, a woman who encouraged him to lie down in her tent to rest, and then killed him as he slept. Jael was brave and honorable, but used the classic tactic of the weak – deception.
Many years ago, IDF commanders conceded that female infantrywomen were highly effective fighters. The problem with using them in battle was that whenever any of them were captured by Arabs their male colleagues, knowing that the infantrywomen would be gang-raped, took wuicidal risks to free them from their captors.
I’ve also read that when the Arabs found out they were fighting women, they fought all the harder, resulting in more deaths on both sides.
Is it true that if they are killed by a woman they can’t enter their paradise?
according to the Word of God in the Bible, they wont be entering into paradise at all. Thou shall not murder is the command of the Lord. Islam has been the most genocidal murderous regime in the history of mankind.
Call me old fashioned but I’d PREFER that women don’t fight in front line search and destroy units. However due to the relative small population of Israel I can understand them using women in these roles (hopefully) on a voluntary basis. When you have enemies in all directions I guess compromises might have to be made.
The primary reason against using women in these roles would have to be the simple biological fact that the average woman is not going to be able to evacuate a wounded teammate as quickly as the average man could. I can agree with women being in probably 90% of army roles but I don’t see the effectiveness in putting them in the last 10% that involves physical strength and viciousness.
Correct. There’s a single mixed-gender combat unit in there IDF–out of ~300 combined-arms manouver battalions. (Women are deployed very close to the front lines in certain other units.) The unit is mixed-gender precisely because the women cant heft or control the Negev light machine gun or rocket launchers. It generally takes six women to carry one wounded comrade on a stretcher, which means squads are combat ineffective. Still, there are always Jewish women pining to fight and they’re trainable and motivated. Given the severe manpower shortage the IDF has experienced these last 15, or so, years, the ‘brass’, as well as certain politicians and social activists push for women in combat.
The role of the Caracals is patrolling in the Negev and they do, from time to time, see combat.
Not to mention the enemy’s own proclivity to torturing and raping female prisoners, which is far worse treatment then they give the men per capita, though most would be killed in any case.
Killing 100 men who live in the 8th century is really no big deal. These people are not hardened army soldiers, they’re basically illiterate goat herders, doing they’re service for Allah.
Except that their equipment is up-to-date, thanks to Iran and Qatar, even if their strategies are not.
Doesn’t matter what equipment they use. They’re still goat herders, using Toyota pickups and motorcycles.
Their equipment is up to date thanks to Joe Biden, too, who left so much of it in Afghanistan for distribution to terrorists worldwide. Coming soon to a southern border near us, too.
The radical islamic army is a bunch of pagans. Just shows how they have never advanced from the dark ages, how pathetic.
You’re right. You can’t bomb people back to the stone age, if they still live in the stone age.
Not equality but sameness? There lies the big lie in this country that men and women are the same, meaning they are interchangeable. The sexes are as different as different can be. In some areas women excel and are superior to men. Most likely in more areas than men. And men are better in other areas. That’s why they work good together as a team, each has a roll and an area of responsibility when combined are tough to beat.
This is designed to work in a family ( home ) environment. The military is family, no reason, when applied responsibly, why the team would not be successful, very hard to beat.
Am Yisrael Chai
The women in the IDF are a very fit group of females. Females have more endurance. Watch female runners after a marathon. The still have energy above their male counterparts. And when you mentally think of “fit” female don’t think of “Lizzo”. Also female shooters are superior to males. Watch your step gents!
Just for the sake of accuracy, I watched Lt.-Col Or Ben-Yehuda’s interview after the battle on the “All Israeli News” YouTube Channel. I would encourage people to watch it there. She is a decorated combat veteran and career soldier. Her unit is mixed and has both male and female. Her second in command went to interpose himself between Terrorists moving towards the civilian communites while Lt.-Col Ben-Yehuda went to the rescue of the garrison of the Sufa military outpost, which had been overrun. Her second in command was killed. Again, her first-hand account differs a bit from the Jerusalem Post story and is well worth watching.
I read somewhere that if a Muslim is killed by a woman he can’t go to heaven. Don’t know a reason but probably it’s a disgrace. For that reason Muslim men are afraid of being killed by women.
Women are warriors too, they are dedicated to serve, and can be just as effective in outsmarting the enemy as the men. A big salute to the Women warriors in these volatile times.
The headline says “Female Battalion of IDF Eliminates 100 Terrorists,” but in the article it says “Ben-Yehuda summoned troops from the mixed-gender infantry combat Caracal Battalion…”
What is this, PJ Media/Red State??
Women are *not* the same as men, thank God! I believe they should not serve in combat. Some reasons: they degrade unit cohesion, are weaker than men, are sexually distracting, will be abused by the enemy if captured. Also, it’s heartbreaking enough to see a male veteran with artificial legs or worse. Let’s not expose our women to this!
God Bless the women with courage and strength who do their duty to fight the enemy, they are valuable to the military and to their culture. God made man and woman and they are both a vital commodity to society in His eyes.
