In Today's Episode on Israeli Resilience We Discuss: Where are we at today? What is it like on the ground, today? Have the international community reacted as expected? What more can be done? What does it mean to be called up for "reserve"? How are companies dealing with 25% of their teams being called into the armed forces? Are VCs investing still? Does work carry on? Whose reactions are exemplary and we should look to follow? Whose have been woeful and should be called out? What are the single biggest misconceptions of the situation? What can people do to help? What can be done?
