Israel, now its #5 - Eitan Vazani.

----------------------------------

|
Well, we are past missile attack number 5. The night before was really
|
|
a quite night (well, only one false alarm. It doesn't count).
|
|
.
|
|
The attack tonight was another multi-missile attack. After this one I
|
|
know the meaning of "fear" much better. At noon I drove to my uncle's
|
|
house, visiting my grandmother on my way. I went there to teach his
|
|
12 years old daughter some DOS basics (he wants to learn some too).
|
|
I arrived there around 15:00, and started lecturing. At 18:30 my uncle
|
|
got worried, and told me I better get back home soon, so I will not be
|
|
caught outside while there is an attack. I told him I'll just stay
|
|
some more to explain another DOS command or two. A few minutes later
|
|
the sirens went off. Quickly we got to the sealed room, and started
|
|
wearing our gas masks. My uncle and his wife have three daughters, the
|
|
oldest is 12 years old, the second is about 10, and the youngest is 4
|
|
or 5. They all behaved perfectly, not panicking at all. The little
|
|
one was actually laughing and seemed to enjoy the excitement.
|
|
While wearing my mask, I heard 3-4 successive whistles. They were very
|
|
loud, low and coarse. At that moment I was sure that the Scud missiles
|
|
are going to get. I was frightened to hell. I didn't want to die that
|
|
soon. I don't really remember what was going through my mind at that
|
|
moment, I only remember being frightened as I have never been before.
|
|
I looked at my uncle. He was smiling and said something like "hey,
|
|
that's the Patriots going at the Scuds".
|
|
I relaxed just a bit, because I knew there aren't any Patriot launchers
|
|
around. I asked him: "How come we can hear the Patriots here?"
|
|
He still smiled: "Oh, didn't I tell you the army brought here several
|
|
launchers yesterday?"
|
|
I felt better at once, but we continued to discuss it some more until I
|
|
relaxed.
|
|
While this was going on, we heard 3-4 explosions, one of them louder
|
|
than the rest. The army spokesman talked on the radio. He confirmed
|
|
that several Scuds were identified, and that Patriots were launched to
|
|
intercept them. He also said that "there were several hits".
|
|
We didn't know whether he meant Scuds hit us, or Patriots hit Scuds.
|
|
He did not give any further information. Within half an hour the
|
|
southern and east-northern regions of Israel were cleared to take off
|
|
the gas masks, but still stay in their sealed rooms. Since only the
|
|
east part of the northern region was allowed to remove the masks, I
|
|
assumed (correctly), that Haifa (in the west-north) was attacked too.
|
|
Some more time passed, and all Israel was cleared to remove the gas
|
|
masks and free to go out of the sealed room. No more information was
|
|
given, except that there were injured people. We relaxed a bit, and
|
|
I stayed to eat a delicious dinner there. Information arrived a bit
|
|
at a time. 7 Scud missiles were launched at us, 2-3 toward Haifa,
|
|
and the rest toward Tel Aviv. Most of them (5 or 6) were intercepted
|
|
and destroyed by Patriot missiles. 1 or 2 got away and reached the
|
|
ground to explode. A building collapsed, cars went on fire, and many
|
|
were injured. Again, no one of those in the crashed building was too
|
|
badly hurt. In other places, pieces (probably large ones) of the
|
|
intercepted Scuds hit the ground and buildings, causing minor damages
|
|
and wounding some people.
|
|
Later I found out that 1 person got killed, 1 very badly injured,
|
|
3 seriously injured, and 30 lightly wounded.
|
|
.
|
|
I don't know how long Israel will restrain itself. The public still
|
|
supports this policy, but I guess it will change if this goes on for
|
|
another week or two.
|
|
Israel gains very important political points. The whole world suddenly
|
|
loves Israel. We get financial support from the U.S.A., from Jews all
|
|
over the world, even from Germany (their minister of foreign affairs
|
|
was here and got hard complaints about the German part in Iraq's arsenal.
|
|
He apologized again and again, and promised that Germany will keep its
|
|
eyes open and its mind thinking).
|
|
But all this will disappear within one month from the end of the war.
|
|
Israel will be pressed and threatened again by everyone (incl. U.S.A),
|
|
to give the Arabs more lands, so that it will be easier to wipe us off.
|
|
We have been through this story several times, and the end was never
|
|
a really happy one. When the Arabs will get rid of Saddam they will
|
|
start again yelling about "the crimes of the imperialist Israel".
|
|
And the world will support them, because it pays off pretty well.
|
|
Arabs can offer cheap oil to its supporters, Israel can hardly return
|
|
a smile and a warm "thank you" to its supporters.
|
|
This is why I think Israel should do something. But this something
|
|
should be so hard, so aggressive and so frightening, that Arabs will
|
|
remember it forever, with their spines shivering at the thought of it.
|
|
It is our only chance to have peace with them. When they understand
|
|
that Israel is crazier than any Arab, they will stop messing with us,
|
|
and they will look for ways to have peace with Israel. When that time
|
|
comes, Israel will be happy to have peace with everyone.
|
|
But remember: THE KEY IS FEAR. History proves that nothing can speed
|
|
up peace. When enemies fear each other too much - they want peace.
|
|
Look how the U.S.A and the U.S.S.R were happy to make peace. Why?
|
|
The fear of each other's power was too great. Finally, the Russians
|
|
couldn't stand the technological race, and headed peace. The U.S.A
|
|
did not stand in the way, and shook the Russian hand warmly.
|
|
This is the case in the middle east. They must understand that Israel
|
|
is impossible to defeat. Not only that: Israel will take the most
|
|
destructive approach to its enemies. Then they will REALLY want peace.
|
|
.
|
|
This leads to me to consider nuclear weapons.
|
|
Currently, nuclear weapons are considered as a last resort.
|
|
When Israel is about to be destroyed, the atomic bombs will be used.
|
|
But this will be too late. If Israel is destroyed, who cares what
|
|
will happen then? What good will come from bombing the Arabs with
|
|
atomic bombs? Ok, so we'll get 100 million. So? Israel will still
|
|
be destroyed.
|
|
I claim, that using nuclear weapons now, will set the Arabs on the
|
|
right course very quickly. It will also save lots of lives from
|
|
future wars (and there will be for sure). The next war (or even this
|
|
one) may involve chemical and biological warfare. It may involve
|
|
atomic bombs on the Arab side, which will mean the end of Israel.
|
|
So lets US do it as soon as possible, and it will bring the peace.
|
|
.
|
|
Well, it is not in my hands.

Bye,
