Worthwhile read. Interesting that a police unit would become Israel's top anti-terrorist team. Although probably every member is former military.

GSG-9 is police too, in Germany.

One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

It makes more sense than it seems: Vanity Fair covers things at face value, so to speak, and will not attempt to uncover other, shady sides of an organization like this. This is coffee table journalism, not truly investigative kind.

Only in a tiny country like Israel could a unit in wheeled vehicles beat airborne units to the scene.

ANTISEMITE.

Nah, I kid. It's not true investigative journalism, but understandably so given the topic. I did find it interesting enough to share.
