[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Israel is the second place I've lived that has been attacked by terrorists after I've lived there. The first was Nairobi.

It's hard to describe how it feels to see dead people lying in front of the grocery store entrance you used to walk through (Nairobi) or a mom hiding from gunmen with her kids the same age as yours next to the elevator you used to take with your kids as you headed to your car (Nairobi) or the highway you drove on with bombed and burned out cars on it (Israel) or straining to see the street signs to see if the bombed out building was one you used to go in (Israel). It's hard. It's emotional. And then you feel kind of dumb for feeling emotional because you aren't there anymore and all you can do is worry and think of the people you know that are still there and hope they are ok.

Totally fine to just scroll on by, but maybe try to absorb that other people are living a different experience than you are. [/quote]

Dude this post was never about people IN Israel or with friends or family there. It’s about people just jumping on the bandwagon. [/quote]
