Before Oslo, there were no more than a handful of automatic weapons in all of Yesha.

Can you contemplate a number so small?

Since disengagement, Hamas, in Gaza alone, has over 20,000 trained and armed combat fighters/terrorists under their command.

There are an additional 4000 official but alternately affiliated terrorist/fighters, putting the number at closer to 24,000, and of course all the unaffiliated terrorists that are also armed to the teeth.

This also doesn't include the armies in Judea and Samaria now being resupplied and retrained by the US.

Now that's how I measure success.


(Just to put it into perspective, I don't have exact numbers, but there are probably only around 35,000 active IDF combat soldiers in the standing army.)
