Over the decades, “normal life” in Israel has looked very different than normal life in most every other country in the rest of the world. That’s because Israel has been surrounded by mortal enemies who want nothing less than the nation’s destruction, because Israel’s very existence is constantly being threatened, because Israel must live in a state of constant vigilance. And what happens when the nation lets down its guard and its security systems fail? October 7 happens.
Some of the most revealing accounts from the massacre came from non-Israeli young people attending the Nova Music Festival. On the morning of the October 7, as the sound of rocket blasts was heard, these non-Israelis were alarmed. “Are we under attack?” they wondered. But their Israeli friends danced and partied on. Nothing to be worried about! We get bombed all the time.
Little did any of them realize that this day would be different than the rest. But until the full reality hit, this was just another day in the life of an Israeli.
