Offers insight into life in Israel

With these two horrific attacks in Paris — the one earlier this year and the one just last week — one would think that the world in general would have a better understanding of Israel’s situation, surrounded by radicalized Muslims.

One would think that the rest of the world would have more insight into the Israel’s legitimate fear of the huge numbers of them with whom Israel must contend while having to protect itself and its people against the same relentless potential and actual daily viciousness one sees in Paris.

One would think that the rest of the world in general would understand that one cannot easily recognize the enemy walking toward him.

One would think that the world in general would hear its own screams and howls of fear and retaliation and consider and relate to the plight of Israel.

With any measure of rational thought how can one not?
