ernads: ENOUGH (enough)
[personal profile] ernads
It may seem like small news compared to the war in Ukraine,and yet,it is more personal for me.

For the last week we have a wave of random terror attacks. Three so far,in various cities all over the country. 11 dead.

War,terror attackes, missiles,and so on are nothing new here. Israel was Born out of the ashes of the Holocaust,bathed in fire,and remainded so ever since. In my 43 years I saw...ammmm three major wars,and countless terror attacks.

And yet,I didn't feel so vulnerable since the early 2000,during that huge wave of terror and suicide attacks. My home city, Haifa,took a heavy load. We have a special cemetery for people who died in terror attacks,and a whole section for tens of dead children. Burned in the bus,the mall,wherever.

One of those was almost an adopted sister for me. Liz,what a lovely teen she was.

And this week attacks have a horrible intimacy to them. All shooting attacks. A racket attack is more deadly,but far less intimate. And we do have alarmes that warns us off to secure areas.

Here,now,we do not. I have no idea what tommorow will bring,and I am afraid.
