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

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. Mary
