I’m fairly squeamish. I don’t go on upside down roller coasters. I don’t like horror movies. And upon watching the above video, I’ve come to conclude that however real and present the threat of an attack on Israel is, “what-if” scenarios are not something that should be visualized and posted on YouTube. Such matters are to be hypothesized about by government and military experts. To be prepared for by civilians building bomb shelters and ensuring that they would have the proper ratios. However, there is a marked distinction between being on your guard and living in constant fear. If Israeli citizens were forced to do the latter, all productivity in Israel would stop. What’s the point of maintaining a thriving economy if Iran has repeatedly threatened you?
Most kindergarden teachers tell their students to ignore bullies. Not to fight back, not to cower, but to deny them the attention they so crave, thus curbing their power over you. In the case of a potential attack against Israel, the same principles may be utilized. Prepare, yes. However, do not live in the shadows because of these menaces. Israel’s last day is one of those events where you hope for the best and prepare for the worst. A video hypothesis of what could happen is the last thing needed by a nation already living in constant terror of a strike. Israelis already have enough to be worried about. They already live with the constant visual reminders of previous skirmishes, praying that they will not have to see anymore destruction in their lifetimes. Visualizing Israel’s last day is fanning the fire, adding another source of stress to a country already living on the edge.
