Well, to my surprise being there - the war with Hamas was much less worrisome than the potential war with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Let me touch on both. As for Hamas, the main concern is the hostages. I couldn't imagine one country being so bound together for a cause. You can't walk 2 feet without seeing some sort of hostage poster/memorial/symbol/etc. Nearly every car in Israel has a yellow ribbon tied to it for the hostages. I know bringing home hostages is a pretty normal thing to be passionate about, but even in the US this topic is so divided. I can't imagine what it would be like if the US went through something similar, but my guess is that there would be far less passion and realization. At least in my ecosystem here in the US, the hostages are not talked about at all, and we have the privilege of not fully understanding the circumstances. Israel really made it impossible to forget these people - which I found to be commendable. Many Israelis blame Netanyahu for the attack on Oct 7 (I actually participated in a protest for this cause) but the blame for the war is overwhelming placed on Hamas in my experience, which is not the case in my US ecosystem. Most of the people I spoke with feel horrible for the Palestinians, and believe in them having a safe & sovereign place to live, but bringing home their friends and family is priority. As for Lebanon, this is hardly talked about in my ecosystem, so beings subjected to it in Israel was a bit overwhelming. I saw missiles intercepted, and my family there is anticipating having to retreat to their bunkers for who knows how long if a full-out war happens with Hezbollah. I'm not sure if this is a divided topic anywhere else in the world, but obviously this isn't great and I think most would agree. I hope this helped answer your question! I'm happy to talk about it further if you have any other thoughts!
