From cheerleading to denial: how Israel stopped questioning war

Most of the media I have been consuming over this five-week-long war is American or British. Other than the newspaper I write for and a few isolated points of light on other newspapers, most military analysts are cheerleaders for government messages, providing the army with PR services. This ranges from recounting the moves leading up to the joint US-Israeli attack and its necessity, through erotic vibes over the assassination of Khamenei and air superiority, to promises that, any time now, Iran/Hezbollah's stockpile of missiles and launchers will be depleted and that we shall all see redemption.
