Israel: Life in Sderot

Categories: Middle East & North Africa, Israel, Palestine, Digital Activism, War & Conflict

Blogger Rick Richman brings us up-to-date [1] with the latest developments in the Israeli town of Sdoret.
“The invaluable One Jerusalem [2] held a bloggers’ conference call today with Noam Bedein of the Sderot Media Center to provide some perspective. The audio of the call is here.
Bedein told a story of rockets all the time, usually in the morning to terrorize the kids on their way to school (half the kids in Sderot are clinically traumatized), no governmental support (much less retaliation), no media coverage in the absence of blood (but the entire city is terrorized by anxiety every time there is a 15 second Red Alert) — just sports, weather and seven seconds of ‘rockets again in Sderot, no one injured,'” he explains.
