Cornel,
Israel lucked out in that Entebbe airport was built by
an Israeli contractor. The Israeli's were able to
secure all the blue prints immediately. I was working
for a Mangalorian accounting firm in Tanzania at the
time of the raid. We had a contract to store all the
financial archives of the Israel's contractors work in
E. Africa.

Military victories are one thing. However, military
brilliance cannot be over shadowed by political
stupidity. The Israelis admit that Mossad created and
funded Hamas. Now they are paying the price for that
stupidity.
Lastly, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Druze etc lived
together in harmony in Israel from the time of the
crusades till the time Britain decided to carve out a
nation for those who used the Bible as a title deed.
