Do you know anyone with escape plans?
Lately I am hearing an ever increasing number of friends or sometimes more marginally connected acquaintances say they are hatching escape plans for the civil disruption ahead of us. What can they imagine ? What scenario can they concoct that will create a personal safe zone? Escape to Canada? Escape to Ireland? Escape to the hills and back country of Georgia ?
These are examples from just in conversations in the past 24 hours.
Really?
Why do I feel so certain that physical escape is an illusion?
I am so freaked out in many levels by the motivations of nations to give hamas what they want and then some more. Is this inextricable march towards insane rewards for the terrorists because of military victory? Or propaganda victory?
Tonight I read that my country abstained on the security council vote calling for a ceasefire. The headline in The Guardian says ceasefire for Ramadan. Is this worldwide blindness? Hamas continues to attack Israel with impunity.
A friend wrote tonight rockets attacking Sderot and Ashdod again.
This is how hamas celebrates a ceasefire resolution? The security council is giving a green light to more attacks not a pathway towards peace.
It feels more clear to me each day that with each passing day that Israel is fighting for its survival but in reality is fighting for all of us.
I hear from friends that it seems so hard to know what to do. I say speak up, talk to neighbors, friends even strangers.
Everyday demands hard work from us.
I feel like the pace of ickiness is accelerating and it is so easy to feel overwhelmed. I have to believe we will prevail. There really is no other choice.
