This is 2nd Lt. Adar Ben Simon, 20 an IDF search and rescue officer.

On Saturday she was leading a goup of bootcamp recruits when she texted her sister: "9 terrorists coming at us. I'm with bullets in the chamber"

She hid her recruits and along with fellow commanders engaged the terrorists. She was killed in the gun battle - most of her recruits survived.

🧵1/12 Just finished listening to an interesting pod about social media and the Russia/Ukraine war, titled "The First LinkedIn War". Researcher @noammanella spoke to @attilus (in Hebrew, sorry) but here's what I learned (mixed with some of my thoughts) -

2/12 No shared reality: as opposed to previous wars, we no longer have a shared conception of truth (think Covid, Trump, fake news etc.) It's not that truth existed before 2022, but at least we agreed on basic narratives or looked to media and leaders for facts (hi @mgurri!)
3/12 This isn't a war for public opinion - it's a war for public feeling (true for all social imo). We can feel what Ukraine is going through and put ourselves In their shoes through images and words. Zelensky - "he's just like us"

I go back-and-forth between never wanting to talk about Israel again and wanting to talk about it all the time. I was born and raised there and served in the IDF, and my entire family is sitting in bomb shelters atm. It’s deeply personal but important to me so here goes.(1/10)
1. There are no good sides in war: war is ugly and messy and people get blown up. There is however a side that attempts to minimize civilian casualties at all costs, and a side that aims for populations and celebrates when innocent people are killed.
2. You’d be hard-pressed to find an Israeli that would rather be at war than at the beach or a bar. Doesn’t mean we are all peaceful hippies, but we’re tired of this shit and would rather not die. Even the most right-wing Israeli loves his family more than he hates Palestinians.
