This is a small tribute to the people of Sderot, and the area of Negev, Israel . During the last 7 years the people of Sderot are being bombed almost daily with Kasam rockets. About 120-150 rockets are thrown there each week. In the last week, about 150 kasam rockets were thrown. The population of SDEROT are weak people and poor, and their voice is not heard enough to their everyday suffer, FEAR..Damage and LOSS.
As I see it ..it is war, that's going on for years, at this area...the war of terror. When such kasam rocket is thrown...they hear in loudspeakers, the watchword , "TESVA ADOM " which means Red paint, or Red colour, to indicate for them of a danger...They have 15 seconds to run for shelter or cover ,if they can find one. In the last weekend such rocket hit directly a kinder garten...luckily it was Sabbath and no one was there, but at their homes. I post here a small video, to show..just a bit their lives in the last 7 years........Try to imagine yourself , when a rocket is thrown at your home...or directly at one of your dear ones at work, or in street, or at school... UNDOUBTEDLY, not normal life..but LIFE in sponsorship of FEAR. With a true prayer in my heart for PEACE, in the middle east, and everywhere else around our planet.

It is sad that we live in a world full of suffering and war, when will we learn that life is precious. This is a very emotionally charged piece Nira, truly an excellent piece my friendGabrielle Stahlie 06 Mar 2008

You know Lucinda and I wish you all peace... dear Nira.Steve Farr 04 Mar 2008
Wow!! Incredible state of emergency! Its almost unimaginable to live under those circumstances, Nira! You've done a wonderful and symbolic job here! Wow!! ~SMary Ashton 04 Mar 2008
We are so fortunate here in the UK Nira we sometimes forget the horror of war that goes on needlessly in other countries. Thank you for bringing this to our attention in such a strong and powerful way. MaryJoke Schotting 04 Mar 2008
DEAR NIRA THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!Brigitte Hintner 04 Mar 2008
Dearest Nira the world needs artists like you ...we all should never give up to vote for the peace and to wake up all goverments around our wonderful planet ....we have to make all efforts to live in a peaceful world!!! As you know , I'm a sucker of red but the red of the war I don't like ! You're awesome !!!:-)Thom Roslan 04 Mar 2008
May God Protect ALL the people in the Middle East.......It's the people in charge that keeps this Un-holy Wars to continue to prevail. WAR in any part of the world today is unconscionable. The citizens of the world MUST protest as Nira has ......more artist should create and speak out against WAR.......There is no sense or honor in War.......ONLY GREED & POWER! God Bless you Nira for standing up and stating this!Mrs.David Jobes(Dee) Jobes 03 Mar 2008
Dearest Nira,This breaks our hearts to see so much killings,pain and suffering ...To see what is going on in Israel and how it effects so many precious lives is heart wrenching...Your Heart for Your people and for Your homeland is truly felt through Your Brilliant Moving Artworks and your Moving Tribute and the video you have chosen to share with the world.Our Love&prayers are With You my Precious Friend and Your Family and the people of Israel...Please Stay Safe!!!!(((((((((Hugs)))))))Ruth Kauffman 03 Mar 2008
Your story and video, while very disturbing, certainly brings home what is really happening in Israel!! While my husband and I are forcused on what happens in Israel, we can't really know what it's like to have that terror everyday!!! So sad!!! I hope you are not near any areas that are being attacked!!! My prayers are with you and the whole country. We visited the Holy Land in 2000!! It was a wonderful trip!!!!Hiromi Green 03 Mar 2008
Dear Nira, I am very moved by this work. I come from Hiroshima as you know and we suffered so terribly after the Bomb and all Hiroshima people want to see the World in peace. I keep listening to that sad story from my family and I think we can send message to people from our Art like you. The Governments of this World have a lot to answer for. It is always the innocent people that get hurt by this cruel situation. There is a way to peace but it takes many people extra effort for it to succeed. It can be done! There is a way - you have to believe for all our futures and our childrens futures and so on. Love, Hiromi xxLior Goldenberg 03 Mar 2008
Nira, well done and well said! It's about time to make the world aware of what is really going on in Sderot and between Israelis and Palestinians in general, as usually terrorists have better propaganda than anyone else.geri pratt 03 Mar 2008
Thank you for your bravery Nira to bring this to our attention. My prayers for all who suffer in the name of terror.jamie winter 03 Mar 2008

Color, saying, and it purpose is appropos in reflecting the description War is Hell.Donald Schrier 03 Mar 2008
A very powerful and beautiful work at the same time. To bad the entire word is so full of this kind of inhumanity by man on man and all in the name of religious beliefs when in reality they all preach peace.Anneke Hut 03 Mar 2008
Nira, this is so good! To show it like this! Thank you, the world should know these things.annette steens 03 Mar 2008
Unbelievable Nira and yet we know it's going on and on the hate between people because of religions. I agree with Chris writing also. We all long for eternal love to come back again and we only can do this by turning the other cheek. As long as we give attention to those bad things and fight back peace will never come. Stop and go your own way deny that you have an enemy it's the universal law of love. So we can do something about it!!! Great work Nira for open the eyes!Chris Roukema 03 Mar 2008
Most Powerful Work and Message, Nira! It saddens Me of this continuing Violence going on in Your Region of the World and elsewhere! Living here in Peaceful Canada it is hard to Fatham this deep rooted Hatred going on! To Me We are all the same regardless of Religion and Ethnic Origin! I wish I had the formula to end this senselessness like so many others. I shake My head in dissbelief of what is going on, on this Planet! Hopefully, We can All end this somehow! Wishing the People of this Planet, Peace not War!Olga van Dijk 03 Mar 2008
What a POWERFUL MESSAGE dear Nira, thanks for letting us know what your country is going through.... The video is so disturbing yet informative. I totally agree with Nelly who told it so wonderful... My pic of the day!Bobba Quimba 03 Mar 2008
Nira, what a powerful message. This reinforces that there is no security anywhere. I'm so grateful for you and your art. I've spent a lot of time also at your web site browsing through your beautiful work.Nelly van Nieuwenhuijzen 03 Mar 2008
we only can hope and pray, my thoughts are with you and yours dearest Nirasje! this red is different from my usual reds, this red is a warning red, not a warming ...Heavy and great work!
