Why is this war so censored? Live cameras are pulled in the Israeli area, and I have to take what both sides are saying with a grain a salt , on the statistics and truth about what, who, and why this war is still continuing.

Security. Live cameras could tell the Iranians who is where and they could target that area. Don't broadcast your moves.

But they were not deployed to Afghanistan as battlefield medical units? Im not suggesting they did not cooperate in the likes of intelligence sharing, or support capacity. But as far as i can establish, their troops were not deployed on the battlefield. In the same way, forces from UK, Canada, Germany, and Australia sent troops.

Israel was purposefully kept out so that the other coalition members, specifically the Arab ones, wouldn’t cause a fit. It wasn’t because Israel didn’t want to. Israel has a defense force (IDF), not an army. Similarly, Japan has a defense force (JDF), not an army. Their roles were both support, not combat. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
