View from my window: Thats how all started... you can see the Hadassah hospital and behind that the tower of my university, 10min walking away
This was definitly the most thrilling day I ever had sitting at my desk…
Explosions still go on, although you can still voices shouting from the sites of the riots. A police man got hit by a car, probably by purpose. We got a text (sms) from our university to avoid East Jerusalem (which is where we are living…) and the old city “due to the current security situation. On Facebook, wild discussions go on about the events everybody could follow from his window.
Here an excert from the Facebook status of my friends, this is really interesting;-). I just took all related to the political situation, so nobody can charge me with being biased (maybe in the selections of my friends…): I left out the names.
- is relieved to be leaving tomorrow
- to everyone going to the base today and in the coming days: PLEASE BE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- is GAZA 3ala baliii … FUCK israel & Israelis and go to hell…
- is hoping for little escalation in Israel.
- is praying for the welfare of the idf. [me: which is the Israeli Defense force]
- hates how aircraft can kill civilians who had nothing to do with the problem. There are ways to get what you want without using brute force [which led to a discussion about civilians killed, who to find out if and how many etc]
- wants to know how they expect her to stay out of East Jerusalem when she lives in East Jerusalem
- Refrain from going out and getting involved in a suiside bomb retaliation.
- prays for safety for all her friends returning to their bases and all of the IDF soldiers protecting Israel.
- is no one’s hands are clean.
- gazza ya 3arab !!!
- would like to let you know that he is safe in his dorm which is a security compound. The Israelis have dealt with this before, so everything should be fine. :)
- is listening to helicopters, police vehicles, and loud “noises” outside the Kfar tonite…
For me, I am fine and nobody has to worry. I feel totally safe though it is scary to walk around outside, hearing bangs (shoots?) close by. Lets see what day 2 brings…
