I understand the sentiment but don't confuse words with action...

 

Watching first the Ukraine/Russia war and now the mess in the Middle East, I get the feeling that people confuse words with action. Zelensky made his "name" by making bold statements, chest thumping etc...meanwhile while parties were going on in Kyiv, the guys on the front were living in the mud doing the heavy lifting. Now Israel seems to be following the same playbook. I know and understand the need to keep the homefront motivated and encouraged but I wonder why we see this type of thing instead of the old ads that asked citizens for no meat Tues and to not waste stuff at home so that more could be sent to the troops. IF (and its a big if in my opinion) this thing kicks off with a ground invasion then it will be a bloody affair. Sacrifices will have to be made and I wonder why the Israeli govt isn't steeling its population to the reality of what might be coming. The Israel that existed after the 1973 war was well aware, ready and didn't need education or motivation. That is not the Israel of today that saw the events of Oct 7. The sword isn't as sharp and an education program to teach the realities of what might come IS necessary. Not words but action.
