The Israeli Army is perhaps the only Army that is better trained than we are. And they are just as bloodied.

You have to remember, the reason they have the land ont he west bank and the gaza is because they kicked the booty of the surrounding nations armies which attacked them. They took the land to create a buffer zone around Israel proper so that any future attacks would/could be met on (in theory) someone elses property.
As I mentioned in my original post here that TL misstated.
Hell Israel had captrured all of the Gaza all the way to the Suez Canal and had the US (and UN) not restrained them..they probably could have seized all of Egypt because they had completely defeated most of the real egyptian army.....instead the US and others convinced Egypt to declare a peace with Israel...I think they are the only Arab nation to do so.
