I had to cut some of the wartime actions of the Palestine Regiment just to keep this short, but there are some really remarkable stories out there if you're interested.

I had heard of this regiment, and of a Palestinian Arab and a Jew who fought side by side and were best friends. Stories like these should be much better known; they point the way to a possible future. Thank you!

I can't pay a subscription on my taxed fixed income, but I can occasionally swing a tip.

Thank you so much for making this available.

That’s because Palestine was a British territory at the time. The Palestine Regiment consisted of Jews and Arabs, conscripted by Britain.

The parody account that doesn’t know it’s a parody, and which keeps on giving. Finally some comic relief from the progressives.

"They fought and died alongside their Jewish comrades"

That sounds like the Arabs and Druze of the IDF. Where else will we find that today?
