When I was a student on Mt. Scopus, I remember that one day I went to bed in the dorms and had a dream. A very bad dream. In the dream, the Arab population living in Israel was rising against us. They were attacking us mercilessly and they became stronger than us. They were throwing stones and rocks at us and killing us with every means they had. In the scene I was viewing, I was hiding behind a public trash can on the seam between Mt. Scopus and the French Hill, and saw destruction all around, and I knew that I was one of the last few in my country to survive. I remember thinking to myself with alarm: "They are killing all of us".
It was such a REAL dream, and in my heart it felt as if this was not just a bad dream. It felt more like a projection of the future. In the years that have passed since, I recalled this dream from time to time and noted to myself that it hasn't yet came true and that it was probably just a bad dream. But now - now I feel like the situation is getting so bad, that it feels like the beginning of the nightmare that my dream depicted.
There is a heavy feeling in my heart. In the past month or so, 18 people were murdered by Muslims in Israel. The last 3 were murdered with axes, one of them in front of his 6 year old boy... how cruel can human beings be. This is just so horrible. Every day there is another attack, sometimes they succeed in killing and sometimes they fail, but we are under constant attack, and I don't think that the world is aware of this. It is so sad.
I am so sad about this. How can someone be so cruel? May God take care of the people of Israel. Cannot say more than a pray.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Knut! People are trying to be so nice to the terrorists, thinking that it would make them be nicer. But it doesn't work like this. They are motivated by an ideology. It doesn't matter how nice we will be, they believe that this land is theirs, when it isn't.
ReplyDeleteThougth that this should my FB-friends know, some of them are not Israel-friends. Could you allow me to put it on my FB-site? As a message from a Jewish friend in Jerusalem? Maybe they would understand?
