What would your nominations and votes be? For me, I would have to say OPERATION THUNDERBOLT 'without a doubt' but I could be wrong.
If you have time, please enjoy the movie below. The relatable drama was so well balanced that the accuracy of the factoids presented in the film was not compromised. The film has made an everlasting impact on my perception of the most liberating nation in the Middle East today. Seriously, skip to the part where Yonatan 'Yoni' Netanyahu died.

The force of Israel had to fly all the way to Uganda while avoiding detection in order to rescue a sizeable group of individuals that weren't completely Jewish. Meanwhile, the great USA - with a policeman's control of international waters- failed in the Iran Hostage Crisis. True, America killed Osama bin-Laden much later, but killing someone is not as difficult and epic for the public as is rescuing a sizeable group of Internationals under armed terrorists' control.
Have other countries been inspired by and truly learned from the awesomely correct methodologies of the Israelites after the (very brilliant) success of Operation Thunderbolt?
