The Israel of 2025 does not resemble the Israel of its first few decades. Israel consisted mostly of people who fled the Holocaust and other systematic persecutions. That's not true now. Most of them today do not live on kibbutzes. Israel is or was, prior to 10/7, the start-up nation living in comfort. I assume the more westernized would flee, and the more religious would stay until they are eliminated. But one never knows how people are going to react to crises situations until it happens.
I understand that when you serve in the IDF you must take an oath to not to allow Israel to fall like Masada
“I swear and commit to maintain allegiance to the State of Israel, its laws, and its authorities, to accept upon myself unconditionally the discipline of the Israel Defense Forces, to obey all the orders and instructions given by authorized commanders, and to devote all my energies, and even sacrifice my life, for the protection of the homeland and the liberty of Israel.” ""Masada shall not fall again."
After the oath, soldiers yell out as lout as they can, “I swear!”
Cool! real Jedi stuff!
