    Thumbs up The Raid at Entebbe, July, 1976.

    The I.D.F. was successful on the Raid at the Airport in Entebbe, Uganda. The NBC T.V. Movie was well done, with Charles Bronson. I did not know till just now watching Fox, that the Commander of the Raid, who was Killed, was Netanyahu's Older Brother. LTC. Jonathan Netanyahu.

    I just read Benjamin Netanyahu's book "Fighting Terrorism" and read that. I had not heard that before I read that book. It seems that very few Israeli politicians are not warriors (military members with combat experience vice someone like me who has been in the military a long time but has never seen combat).

    Well our president was a community organizer. That's kinda like being an IDF commando.

    I remember seeing that show about the raid. I was in College and living in a Frat house. Then when Iran took our people Carter tried his own version of this raid. It was an epic fail unlike the IDF's.

    It's interesting that it took a Republican to clean up the mess a Dimocrat made.... Just like it's going to take another Republican to clean up the mess made by our current Dimocrat Resident. Hitlery sure as hell can't/won't clean it up.
