Talk:Israeli Army

Just out of curiousity.

Who exactly considers the Israeli Army to have the most effective methods of crowd control and use of non-lethal force?

Conventional military wisdom is that armies should minimalize their involvement in crowd control and non-lethal force, and that military forces in general handle this very badly. It doesn't seem obivous to me that the Israeli army handles hostile crowds better than most civilian police forces, so I'm curious where that statement comes from.
