Prof Eidelberg once seriously suggested that the only thing that would save Israel would be a non-Jewish prime minister!
And now, being unable to find any Jewish commander with the necessary verve to command the "elite" Golani Brigade, the IDF has been compelled to appoint a gentile!
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/173175#.UmlF_OVBTn4This is a dismal reflection of the declining Zionism, intelligence and fighting spirit of the cadre of chilloni kibutz Sabra Jews in Zahal from which Golani leaders used to be chosen. Having a Golani commander with a knitted kippa would be a total taboo.
Druze are natural born killers and make good soldiers. But being mercenaries, their loyalty to the Jewish state is always in doubt ie for the right price, or if the Arabs got the upper hand in war, they would immediately become turncoats.
