A PERSONAL NOTE

 

The news out of Israel yesterday was nothing short of horrifying. While
I never fully believe the reports I get from the MSM, there are plenty
of photos and first-person accounts that suggest a great deal of the
horror we are reading about is happening as described. It's important to
note, though, that Hamas tells a different story
regarding the civilian
targets. This is not to justify anything - we just have to remember that
wars always have two sides.

When I write about this today, please know these are still early hours
and reports are coming in rapidly with new information. Some of the
things we believe to be true today may end up being false but as it is
the information we have to work with, my commentary will assume that the
general series of events has happened as reported. So please, there's no
need to write to me to tell me these are crisis actors, that the attack
never happened, that I've got it all wrong, that it's a false flag, or
that it was somehow justified.

With that lengthy disclaimer out of the way, there are some things that
I want to say about this event.

Many of us spent a lot of the day yesterday reading shocking reports and
viewing videos of weeping captives. We saw photos that we'll never
unsee. When you see this stuff unfolding in front of your eyes like
this, you can't help but wonder, "What would I do in that situation?"

I have written many times before that, in the moment, survival is just
about surviving. The people who found themselves facing attackers were
not trying to unravel conspiracy theories. They were trying to stay
alive and keep their loved ones alive.

Imagine that you're snug in bed, sound asleep in the pre-dawn hours,
soon to get up and attend the religious service of your choice, go out
for brunch, or whatever it is that you do on a religious holiday
weekend. Suddenly, you're awakened by the sound of thousands of rockets.
You're jolted from slumber into chaos at the sounds of impact and
destruction. You probably wonder for a moment, "What on earth was that
noise?" The air around you fills with smoke and screams. Warning sirens
erupt, adding to the general sense of chaos.

For thousands of people, everything turned from a cozy dream into a
living nightmare that fast.

As the day went on, foreign soldiers swept across the border, some even
paragliding in and landing while firing into crowds. Your neighbors are
rounded up and taken hostage. All you want to do is not get shot, not
get taken, not get blown up. You want to protect your family from this
fate as well. Everywhere you turn is a new threat. It's like that movie
Red Dawn, but it's real, and it's happening in your city.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side of this border, civilians are warned by
loudspeakers to evacuate immediately, and apartment buildings are
destroyed by retaliatory airstrikes.

Just like that, war begins.

And the people who suffer the most are not the leaders who make these
decisions. They aren't the extremists who launched attacks on innocents.

It's everyday people like you and me. The same thing happened in
Ukraine. The people who suffer the most are not the ones calling the
shots. On each side, there are real victims. People who just wanted to
have breakfast with their families on a holiday. People who just wanted
to live in peace and had nothing to do with the attacks, those who may
or may not have agreed with them.

Those calling the shots don't have personal skin in the game. Nobody is
going to be able to get to them. They're protected too well.  Their
families are safe, they are safe, and while they must feel anguish
watching their countrymen fall, it's different because not only are they
safe, but they also have some control.

Ordinary people do not.

They become walking trophies. Each one is just another head to mount on
the wall of military victory. The young people who will be sent to fight
may not survive. Or they may come back empty shells, minds destroyed
forever because of the awful things they've seen.

The rich will get richer. The powerful will get more powerful. And the
people calling the shots are never really at risk.

I fear there's a very real chance we will be pulled into this conflict.
Israel is America's ally, and our government has long supported theirs.
Iran is involved. In fact, they're so involved that members of their
national parliament were chanting yesterday,

"Death to America and Israel."

When countries begin taking sides like this, when enemies gleefully
cheer on the attacks, nothing good will follow. It certainly doesn't
give hope for any kind of peaceful resolution.

I would not be at all surprised to see the terror spread to any place
that allies with Israel. It behooves us all to be alert and aware of our
surroundings, particularly if we are in places where many people
congregate, like mass transit hubs or large events. Don't stop living
your life, but pay attention because I don't think, given the
anti-American sentiment in that part of the world, that our country will
be left unscathed.

I sincerely hope that I am wrong. I hope that this conflict ends as fast
as it began. I hope that it was a handful of horrible days and that it
goes no further.

But realistically, I don't think this will be an isolated incident. PM
Netanyahu has said,  "Citizens of Israel, we are at war - not in an
operation, not in rounds - at war."

I pray that we never awaken the way thousands of Israelis did yesterday
morning to the sounds of a multipronged attack in cities lining our
border. That we don't have to watch screaming women and children - our
neighbors - put into the back of vehicles and taken away. That we don't
face war and retaliation on American soil.

But this situation is incredibly volatile. It could escalate rapidly and
pull the whole world in. I hope not, but every instinct warns me that
this may be the beginning of the next global conflict and that we will
not escape unscathed as a nation.

Call me a peacenik hippie, but today, I'm thinking of the innocents who
never wanted this conflict but who are losing everything they own, if
not their very lives and loved ones. I'm thinking of the soldiers who
will never be the same if they survive.

The price of war is not just how much the weapons cost or how expensive
the planes are. We pay for it not just in dollars but in human beings.

You asked for a book you could hold in your hands.
You got it.

How to Prep When You're Broke
is a
book I'm extremely proud of writing. It's about prepping when you don't
have the money to splash out hundreds of dollars on shiny new supplies.
And given that it's the situation many of us find ourselves in right
now, I think it's very timely.

Just writing it made me feel so much better about my tight budget. There
are many strategies you can employ to make the most of what you already
have and choose your next purchases wisely. There are loads of ways that
you can prep without spending a cent.

And this book is full of them - 323 pages of them.
