It must be godawful to be living in all these conflicted places. As good as my imagination is I probably don't even really have a clue.
My evening news did a human interest piece about Israel. Young Jews take part in something called Birthright, it's a (free) trip to the homeland, many Jews from across America participate in it and an agency in Philly makes all the arrangements. Out of the hundreds of kids taking part in this only a minute number have cancelled. There is little to no fear and the kids that are already there say this conflict isn't really affecting their trip. They don't want to return home, they feel safe.
