Olive Oil & the IDF 1/8

Olive Oil & the IDF

For years olive oil was celebrated for its health-giving qualities. More recently, the health benefits have been attributed to the high content of monounsaturated fatty acids as well as antioxidants in olive oil. The more virgin the oil, the higher the health quotient! Ever wonder why olive oil is stored in opaque bottles? Or why olive oil should be added to food immediately after cooking? For other questions and answers, the owner of Olia in Tel Aviv takes us on a tour of her store dedicated to the virtues of olive oil. We then examine how peace is maintained domestically in Israel and whether the Israeli Defence Forces (the IDF) provide a parallel protection in defending against enemies. Barry Rubin discusses its specific role in Lebanon.
