@WCWohlforth @ProfPaulPoast @CPOST_UChicago @nytimes So I think I saw this paper. The issue (for me) seemed to be who/what was being counted. It is true though that none of this polling can tell us who will actually pick up a gun. But in a highly charged environment...

[Steven Simon @sns_1239]

@WCWohlforth @KofmanMichael Doesn't seem to alter the big picture (as I understand it).

שאלת השאלות: עד כמה יושפע הדרג המדיני, והדרג הצבאי שתחתיו, ממספר החטופים בעזה, בכל הקשור ללחימה. האם כולנו נהיה עכשיו בני ערובה וצה״ל יתנהל עם ידיים קשורות מאחורי הגב, או שיהיה מי שיקבל החלטה שאין עכבות, אין מעצורים ואין בלמים. נוהל חניבעל על כל המדינה.
