WASHINGTON - Former Israel Defense Forces head Gabi Ashkenazi has been out of work for a month, but he's still cheerleading for the Israeli military, as he proved in a speech on Sunday at the Israeli Leadership Council Gala in Beverly Hills.The appearance was one of his first since stepping down and Ashkenazi stuck to the IDF's talking points. The IDF is one of the most efficient and strong armies in the world, Ashkenazi said. Israel should be proud of its army and its soldiers, that do not hide behind civilians, as the terrorist organizations do.Remarking on the Gaza flotilla incident, he said he was proud of the soldiers, who "didn't shoot one bullet that wasn't necessary."And how can the community of the former Israelis living in California help? They can send their kids to serve in the IDF.
