Dear friends and Sanga
Every month we send out an email update to our mailing list to let you all know what is going on with us in our little world.
This month's email has created quite a buzz…
We received SO many emails from y'all asking us to please take care of ourselves and make sure we are safe.
Well, since we only have one email every month to send, and things here are progressing much faster than to let you know once a month, I will post here on our blog an update so y'all can check up on us and what is going on here…
If you want of course!
My job is to let you know what is going on 😊
Update for 07/08/2024
We are still here, still crafting prayer wheels for the benefit of all beings!
All around us is much noise about a coming total war and much doom and gloom predictions on the outcome of such war.
The last "real" war we had was in 2006 and it was the second Lebanese war. It was a very bad war for everybody involved and I feel as if this coming war will be so much worst.
Out enemy from the north, Hizballah has been arming itself to the teeth by the help of its big daddy, Iran.
For some reason, this country (Iran) just wants us all dead and gone, but they are missing the point a little bit because all the while when they were arming Hizballah in Lebanon we were doing other things in our little country and that is to develop the best weapons we can, both in defense and also in the attack arena. So, they have no clue as to what we have hidden and will take now out for the coming fight… should be very interesting.
Here, the media is keeping the entire country in major stress telling everyone to be prepared. For what? They do not know. War… that Is all they (the media) know how to do… create stress in the people.
But our defense people are not worried and that should tell you something about what is about to come.
If the media is super stressful but the defense people are not, that is a good sign that we are alright for now.
Just so you better understand the situation (and without giving to many details) look at what happened the last time Iran and its friend's fired missiles on us, I think it was in April 13th of this year. We had some 9 hours to prepare for their bombs and missiles to arrive here. Our fighter pilots and their super advanced aircrafts went ahead to meet them half way and gave a spectacular firework show for the people of Saudi Arabia and Jordan (where they intercepted the coming missiles) and by the time the remaining missiles arrived here in Israel, they were shot down by our defense systems.
Ayelet and I were woken up at 2:00 AM by a huge boom in the sky of an interceptor hitting one of those missiles.
In the end, all those missiles and drones they sent out to kill us did nothing.
After that day, Iran and the world waited for Israel's response. There was much talk for days on what will Israel do to Iran now that they have fired missiles on Israel for the very first time in history?
I am sure it was a very tense time for the Iranian people.
Do you know what Israel did in retaliation in the end?
We only fired one missile to Iran.
And just to make sure this new tech will do the trick, we sent one more missile but, in the end, the first one did a fantastic job and the second one was no longer needed so we pressed the self-distract button and it exploded in the sky over Iraq.
One missile was enough.
After it hit its target there was silence in the media. No one was talking about what happened there in Iran…
The only one who raised their heads were the USA who said: "wait what? What was that? Can we buy some of that?"
And a new arms deal between the US and Israel was signed.
So, when I say that I am not worried because our defense people are not worried that is because I trust them. They worked for the passed 70+ years since the Nazis tried their best to kill us (and failed) and invented the best defense systems one country can have.
I saw the other day the last commanding officer of Israel's air defense units and he said out loud: "there is no other country in the world that has a better defense system than Israel"
So, that makes me sleep better at night.
One of my best friends is an officer in one of our most special air force units and he is the first guy I send a WhatsApp to when I need to know if there is something going on. He came home a few days ago from the Army after months of serving in Gaza. We sat to drink some tea and talked about this whole situation and what will be the outcome.
I must say that he reassured me.
He says that no war will happen. All sides have too much to lose. Especially Iran.
So, he says there will be just little noise of us bombing them, they bomb us, and so forth… just like it has been going on since October 8th… But no more than that. No war will ignite. "And if for some reason, if all is lost and our enemies decide they want to commit suicide and start a war with us, it will be a very short war. possibly the shortest war in history...."
This is what he had to say.
So, to sum it all up, we are here, crafting prayer wheels, praying this will all end without a fight, no war, and maybe, just maybe for the first time ever, peace in the middle east.
Stay tuned
Till next time
