This too shall pass

The orange stripes on the TV show us exactly where the missiles will fall in a little while and who should hurry up and enter a protected place. I am 50 km from Gaza so I have a minute and a half to find shelter. I have no protected room and all I have left is to rely on miracles. My grandchildren are 45 km from Gaza and have 45 seconds until the missile falls. They have been sleeping for two nights in the protected room and of course do not go to school.

My daughter sent me pictures from the protected room, she and the cats and children are busy with their own. A lot of missiles fell around them yesterday.

  6. I have been thinking of you and your family..I hope that you will be safe. I have just read a novel ( for book club)..."Mornings in Jenin", that had graphic descriptions of killing on both sides going back to the early 40s.I didn't really enjoy it! I can't believe that it is still going on so many years later. Be safe. x

  10. One really does wish that Hamas would spend their money on health and education, rather than on rockets. Of course Israel has to return fire, but if the rockets weren't sent in the first place there would be no need. I hear today that some of the Hamas rockets are very cheaply made and are falling short on their own people. What a way to run a country. Stay safe!!

  13. Hamas promised a barrage of rockets at 6 p.m. I'm waiting. Previous times they were on time. But there were 500 rockets during the day to different localities.
