Most empires, and states remember and celebrate their victories...
Israel hold Holy, all their defeats. Since the second burning of the Temple of Jerusalem in 70 C.E., They are "God's Chosen People".
For that looooong historical reason, they are the pit bull of the Middle East, and hell will reign down on those that attack Israel.
They have some of the best pilots, best looking and kick ass female soldiers, and mandatory service for all Israelis.
They are also not as PC as the rest of the world, and are criticized.
