  • Ukraine clearly honed their comms style to appeal to a western audience. It seems Israel didn’t have any such planning in place for a possible war.

    As alluded to by Chas, I think this isn't true. The Israeli government has, I think, decided that they have enough support in the corridors of power, that they don't need to try and justify things to the moderates.

    Instead they are pushing the "you either support us unquestioningly, or you're an enemy" line, which may be helping them in the short term, but provides no room to maneuver politically if they don't achieve their military goals quickly and get bogged down in a post 9-11 style asymmetric war.
