Terrorist Attacks in Israel

Yesterday’s terrorist attack in Stockholm saddens me greatly. All the more so, since I know how helpless you feel in these situations. Innocent people, shopping, having coffee with friends, strolling down a popular pedestrian street, feeling safe, without even thinking about the word “safe” because it’s something that you take for granted – especially in central Stockholm. Again, I send a big loving hug to my friends back home. I hope this is the last attack ever, you have to live through. I hope the man who was arrested is the driver…

The Swedish newspapers are naturally full of details about the terrible attack, and also comparisons to other countries in the Western world that have suffered similar terrorist attacks. But, unfortunately, everyone conveniently “forgets” about Israel and how much terror we suffer here on a daily basis. Israelis are no different than EU inhabitants. Israelis also go about their business peacefully and are suddenly struck by death and disaster, without warning, without reason and without any sense of sanity. I will take the liberty of copying from Wikipedia (thanks to Google Translate for the translation), so you will know about the Truck-car-ramming terrorist attacks in Israel

These are of course just a fraction of all the other kinds of terrorist and violent attacks of stabbings, shootings etc. that the civilians in Israel have to live (and die) with, every single day. ~ Naomi Gattegno
