מכתב מחאה על הגינוי של בריטניה לצה''ל
A letter I sent to the British Embassy Israel:
Dear Mr. Ambassador,
I was shocked to find out, that your prime minister, Mr. David Cameron, called Israel to show restrain, and not attack the terrorists in Gaza. After so many months, in which, my family, and ten thousands of other Israeli families, lived under a terrorist missile bombardment, protecting us became a clear duty of my government. The only explanation I can find for your government's point of view is a deep misunderstanding.
I know that our foreign minister took you to a tour in a town that suffers daily bombardments for a few years. But I guess that spending an hour with a politician makes things only more complicated. Thus, I invite you to spend a night with a common family that experiences life under missile threats.
I invite you to sleep in a very nice room, knowing that in the middle of the night, there might be a siren, indicating a missile is on its way to hit the town. I invite you to wake up, in a rush, and argue with a toddler about leaving the cozy bed and running to a safer location in the building (or near the building). I invite you to listen to the exploding sounds, feel the ground shaking and try figuring out your distance from the hits. I invite you to put up a poker face, and tell the children that things are not that bad.
I invite you to share a fearful common night with my family, but I do NOT invite your family to do so too. Don't bring your children with you. There are things that public representatives must understand, but children better not.
