Just Came Out of the Air Raid Shelter
Self ^ | 11/10/23 | Eleutheria5

Posted on 10/11/2023 10:29:58 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

Air raid sirens sounded here in Nahariya and also in Haifa where our youngest son is living. We went into our building's air raid shelter. I said my daily measure of Psalms and said the afternoon prayers, then got bored, then sat down. People chatted about the news, infiltrators in Maalot and the air raid on Tiberias. Someone tried to start a song. It didn't get very far. I'm a decent Russian tenor when I want to be, and many in our buildings are Russian speakers, so I sang a Chassidic song in Russian about fearing nobody but G-d. It was appreciated. Son called from Haifa and told me about his air raid siren and refuge in the basement. Finally. Finally finally, the air raid alert ended. No explosions. Now we're back in our apartment.

I hope you stay safe! I also wish your country would allow citizens to have capable rifles and enough ammo for self defense.

Lay your hands on a weapon any way you can. And do not under any circumstances surrender it to anyone.

A question...how many of you in the shelter are armed?

Hope and prayers for everyone there.

Hang in there, brother in arms.

The media is trying to expand the war on this side of the pond.

None of us have Stinger missiles or RPGs. Don’t know who is and isn’t armed. I’m sure there were a few with sidearms, but didn’t see any long arms.

They started in the US with the Floyd riots and Covid. Be careful not to undermine their psycho-cracy.

Seriously, though, this is the worst attack we’ve had since 1948. I can’t even read past the headlines on some of these stories, or repeat them out loud. It’s too horrible.

Stay safe over there, too.

My family is praying for you and yours, brother.

BTW, as u probably know the IDF said the alert that Hizbollah was sending drones was a false alarm. I know others who had to take cover in the North after that. Not sure if that's why they squirreled you guys away.
