The Israeli Military has accepted gays in its armed forces for decades. Many Israeli officers are openly gay, and according to a Florida newspaper, the St. Petersburg Times, a brigadier general quoted in a recent study said Israelis show a "great tolerance" for homosexual soldiers.

David Saranga, a former military officer and now Israel’s consul for media and public affairs in New York said, "It's a non-issue... You can be a very good officer, a creative one, a brave one and be gay at the same time."

We all know that Israel has one of the most powerful and effective militaries in the world. Enough said?
