In addition to things not followed through on, the flooding and a daily demand of video from hostages should have been front and center of the IDF international campaign, it was simple to forget them when they weren't front and center, if the videos weren't produced then the full Roman treatment would have been appropriate immediately, the dragging out crossed Israeli lives and allowed a momentum of crazy to swell in the world, did not foresee Joe Rogan turning towards the dark side and hosting propagandists for Hamas
Dan Schueftan is interesting to listen to in that he's amusing and a positivist about Israel, the establishment shrugs this stuff off as the cost of doing business, I recall 20% of GDP or more going into military there as opposed to it being half of a percent for Nations not surrounded by idiots, the perspective of managing a population 100 plus times bigger than you is maybe not as important as economic and trade ties, what was most interesting is that he pointed to the mean or median of the population's beliefs not being that different from one party to another disregarding the extreme left and the extreme right, he doesn't talk much publicly but when he does it's very insightful
Natan Sharansky should be back on center stage also
