I don’t know how the people of Israel can continue going to their jobs and live their lives. If I lived there I’d be scared spitless. If they attack they will be at war with the whole region and if they wait they will be attacked with nuclear weapons and then be at war with the whole region. I just don’t see a third option for them.

Israelis (and Jews everywhere, really) have always lived in a situation similar to what you describe.

Agree. We have it so easy here in the USA, chances of personally being under attack here over the last century being extremely low even during wartime. Commander Pancho Villa attacking New Mexico in 1916, the Japanese attacking mostly military facilities in Hawaii in 1941, and of course 9/11/2001, being the notable few times it happened. And most Americans untouched on our soil

Israel has suffered not only through many repeated wars with it's Islamic neighbors since the 1940's, but also suffered repeated daily attacks against it's civilians in the "peacetime" years between wars.

Scary. No way they can get used to that, being constantly threatened.
