This was so moving and terrifying! I can’t imagine how terrifying it is. Personally I feel angry that this story isn’t told in MSM. The UK has not suffered bomb shelters since 1945. They need to revisit it. What a hell Israel is going through it. We are with you.
They will lose with this tactic too. With every Shabbat meal busted, they strengthen the resolve of Jews to do Jewish. We are all under the threat of Houthi missiles regardless of where we live. Those outside of Israel started to understand this on October 8.
I live in Jerusalem and like the writer my dinner is not often interrupted to get to a shelter, but when we get back to the table, or return to davening, the reaction is often a resolve to do better at Jewish. They make us stronger, not weaker. A big backfire. #amyistaelchai
Israel is, and has been, at war with terrorists. Although their main objective is the death of Jews, especially Israeli Jews, the secondary objective is terror. Terror is fear. Fear is a very powerful emotion. Fear can confuse you, can immobilize you, can make you crazy. Fear can kill. Never live in fear-- fight fear. Have faith and courage. Let Never Again be your call to battle. God Bless Israel.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and emotional essay.....It's time to say ENOUGH....it's been so long the disturbance of our peace, on shabbath and on our holidays......you said it, they don't want a state, they don't want peace, they just want (God forbid) the destruction of our beloved Israel.......Never Again, Never Again.....
Psychological warfare is every bit as dangerous as physical warfare. It can increase one’s resolve or eventually grind one down. The only answer is to make it so expensive for the enemy that his losses overwhelm any perceived gains.
"We must make never again not a slogan but a promise"
What is needed is not a promise but a policy resolutely enforced by all Israel's resources dedicated to defend and protecting Jewish lives. We must not succumb to this game of psychological warfare our enemies play. They win when Jews abandon Israel and migrate to countries they think will offer them freedom from fear.
Look at what they are running to.
All across Europe, the Americas, Australia, and now creeping into Asia we find the increasingly strident public rants against Jews. We see regular street and campus riots. We witness the unwillingness of police to enforce laws against civil disorder. We see the authorities' refuse to enforce the laws they themselves passed.
These are the centres of the new rampage of Jew hatred some Israelis are being stampeded to run to. Good luck to them with that because the only real haven for Jews is Israel regardless how often our enemies try to destroy us through their terror tactics. You do not save yourself from a disease by running into a ward full of infected patients.

If you are visiting Israel this is what it means to be visiting during wartime
