    People in America cannot fathom what it must be like to live in Israel with constant awareness of sirens & rockets, & the need for safe rooms in every dwelling. And now after the October 7 massacre & with war in Gaza, it is even more precarious. Everyone should visit Israel in their lifetime at least once. It is a shame that Usrael must live under this duress. Why can't there be more support & peace in neighboring Arab countries? Why is there so much hatred toward Jews across the world?
