Last year at this time, we here in Israel were sorting out the sirens and the bomb shelters and the consequences of a war. It was a hard place to live.
This morning a test siren went off, the population had been told in advance and yet...when it started I had a flashback to last summer, and I had instant nervous tension in my stomach and the beginnings of a terrible headache.
And when the siren ended, I started thinking about the deal the United States just made with Iran, how that puts me and my child and everyone in my country in harms way, not to mention any other Western infidel within reach of long-range ballistic missiles. Then the headache flowered, full force.
I love Israel, I would not want to live or raise my daughter anywhere else, but during that siren I was less than convinced.
