Thats' what I call confusion!

What is his remark:

"Israel's success in fighting off it's neighbors ALMOST makes me think there is some truth to their belief that they are the chosen people. I think Israel's success is because Israel has a professional army where most of their Arab neighbors have conscript armies, except Jordan, who also happened to have the most success against Israel."

I just put in bold his comparison: professional vs. conscript
