Why will you never see Israeli/IDF soldiers in places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, or Libya - even when Israel has been a member of the United Nations since 1949?

Enter America, Britain, France, or whoever else will be on a "willing coalition." Oh, and don't forget about Israeli spies.
