Thank you for this outstanding analysis. We've been following news reports constantly since

learning of the Israeli attack . Your article added a whole new dimension by giving us an Israeli

perspective of how one carries on during such dangerous times.

Thanks, as always, for reading and the feedback H and S. Yes. News reports are one thing. Being in the thick of it is something else.

Thanks, Susie. Carney will follow along in due course - if Iran makes good on their threat to attack commercial shipping assets and military bases then UK, France and others will step up. Last time there was concerted allied effort all Canada was able to contribute were a few tattooed blue-haired admin clerks. For real. He may not be my cup of tea but he is smart and will not abide us looking like the idiots we did under Trudeau. And were. This is likely to broaden into a WWII style conflict. Not much black or white. And "carefully monitoring the situation and urging both sides to de-escalate" aint gonna cut it.

Thank you - I'm safe. My friends and family are. It's all about following Home Front Command direction. Not complicated. Appreciate the support and concern.

I'm glad it hit the spot. Hilda. I tried to just focus on the "mundane". my head was bursting with all these brainy analysts.......but what no one was discussing was - what exactly do people DO in such a situation?

Can’t imagine the stress Israelis are going through but as a citizen of the world I am personally glad they took this action with Iran. Someone had to take a stand and lately it seems Israel is the only country standing up. Thank you for keeping us all informed Vivian.

Stay safe!!

Thanks for reading and this feedback, Glenn. It's encouraging to read your comments of appreciation. The Iranian threat is directed at all of western society......and too few seem to grasp that.
