Being secular, I put my faith in the world stepping in on time to save us from total destruction. So many people around me think we are heading toward a regional warfare. They want the Arab countries to intervene and bomb Israel and to the hell with it, as they say. In the heat of the moment, people don't realize what a regional warfare really means. Should we reach a stage where Damascus, Amman, Tel Aviv, Cairo all start getting bombed, it will be the people who will pay the price.
Leaderships never die in wars, they escape to safety.
I didn't hide. It was awful. We watched as the they their bombs destroyed the port. I felt so, so sad. They were still constructing it and it was beginning to look so nice and we used to go there for picnic lunches.
