For 2 years I posted a daily blog reporting on the hostage situation, survivors and families, the soldiers killed and injured, the devastation of Gaza and the tens of thousands of non-combatants killed there.

And during the 12 day war with Iran in June, people/friends were aching for real-time information about what was happening and not the filtered news, and what we on the homefront were going through. I began a live real-time report to about 100 people through Whatsapp. It helped them get a better picture of what their friends and relatives were experiencing and helping to support us spiritually.

Since the end of February, I again began giving live updates and reporting on every missile alert from Iran, every rocket barrage and drone intrusion from Hizbollah. I post the pictures and videos and offer commentary as well.

Every day- the deaths, the maimed, the destruction, the uprooting of families from their destroyed homes.

Enough! Enough! Enough! When will it end? When will we get this war mongering and evil corrupt government out of our lives forever?

We put on our faces, we try to go about lives and manage our new abnormal normalcy, but there is nothing normal about it. We are all in waiting mode, waiting for the next missile alert and being ready to go to or enter safe spaces. We have to calculate when and for how long to take a quick shower, not to be caught mid shampoo with a siren. Driving somewhere means we have to think about where it will be safe to stop the car and run for cover. There have been too many people killed or injured getting out of their cars and being hit by other cars who don’t stop.

When........
