Yes, we're in a deep frightening Golus in Israel.
The truth hurts. Seems there are people who are too sensitive when it comes to decrying Chilul Shabbath, or when one criticizes the thousands of israelis flying overseas to watch a synthetic piece landing in a hole with abated breath. Alas, how low have we sunken ?
Its just stupid to criticizes non frum ILs mostly harmless vacation ideas.
You havent gone on any vacation since ST? (Agav, many gedolim in EY did not this summer)
You dont have ANY hobbies that could be construed as being as pointless and silly as watching 20 men chase a ball around the grass/turf?
What kind of vacations are OK in the current climate? Is skiing OK? but thats just silly sliding around on a hill on sticks. Is canoeing OK? but thats silly sitting in a plastic bathtub and pushing sticks in water. Is hiking OK? but thats just silly walking around outside with no purpose. Why eat in a resturant? Thats silly redifus hagashmius - you'll be fine with pita and chumus/a roll and peanut butter.
Honestly, the perponderance of these people (IL secular jews) likely dont keep shabbos, kashrus or Taharas hamishpacha properly. Why is it their choice of vaction in time of war the thing that cheeses you off at them?
