Not all recruits serve in combat roles — Yair worked in the IDF spokesman's unit instead. Later, he got a bachelor's degree in international relations and a master's degree in diplomacy and conflict resolution.

And earlier this year, he drew a strong rebuke from the US State Department for spreading a conspiracy theory that America was funding ongoing protests against his father's controversial judicial reforms.

Bro you did not learn much in school it seems lol

I maintain that a common sense measure for any war, or "extended conflict," or "special military operation" is the mandatory and automatic drafting of any children of the ruling class into the infantry.

If the ruling class has a problem with that, you should have a problem with them.

Perfectly right.

Corrupt parents breed corrupt children. Regardless if their last name is Netanyahu or Trump.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


As 360,000 Israeli reservists flock home to join the war effort against Hamas, some returning volunteers and their families have asked why one young man with a powerful dad isn't among them.

Since Hamas militants stormed into Israel, killing civilians and kidnapping hundreds of people, the podcaster has used his Instagram account to raise funds for charity groups working to support the victims of the attack.

We saw the pictures from October 7 of people sleeping on the floor of planes from Japan, from New York, from Hong Kong, from Thailand, just to get back," said Mitchell Barak, an American-Israeli pollster and political analyst based in Jerusalem.

But despite his influence on his father, Yair may be reluctant to return home after a string of controversies and court cases prompted him to leave Israel earlier this year.

And earlier this year, he drew a strong rebuke from the US State Department for spreading a conspiracy theory that America was funding ongoing protests against his father's controversial judicial reforms.

"The insinuation that the young activist had an intimate relationship with the head of the party, a married man who is decades older than her, could humiliate her and make her a target of hatred, contempt or ridicule," Judge Ronen Peleg wrote in the ruling.


The original article contains 1,163 words, the summary contains 210 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

He has also been spotted sorting donated supplies for Israeli soldiers and civilians in the US city of Fort Lauderdale.
