Israel Defense Forces - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4517 words) |
 | The Israeli Defence Force was founded May 14, 1948 with the establishment of the state of Israel "to protect the inhabitants of Israel and to combat all forms of terrorism which threaten the daily life" |
| Six Israeli Arabs have received orders of distinction as a part of their military service; of them the most famous is a Bedouin officer, Lieutenant Colonel Abd El-Amin Hajer (also known as Amos Yarkoni), who received the Order of Distinction. |
| On the other hand, non-Arab Israelis could argue that the mandatory two-year military service puts them at a disadvantage, as they effectively lose two years of their life through their service in the IDF, while the Arab Israelis are able to start right into their jobs after school, or study at a university. |
