RABBI IS NOW HOME FROM A TRIP TO ISRAEL AND OUR BILL O’NEIL SPOKE TO HER ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE DURING THE RECENT WAR THAT BROKE OUT THERE. NIKKI CORN GOT HOME LAST NIGHT AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS VISITING FAMILY IN ISRAEL. SHE SAYS THAT SHE HEARD THE SIRENS WARNING OF THE ROCKET ATTACKS AND THEN SAW THE SMOKE FROM THOSE ROCKETS. MICKEY COREN SAYS ONE OF THE ATTACKS CAME IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WHILE SHE SLEPT IN A COUSIN’S HOME SOUTH OF TEL AVIV. FIRST OF ALL, IT WAS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE HAVING TO GO DOWN TO A BOMB SHELTER AND HAVING ONLY 90 SECONDS TO DO. SO CORINTH SAYS HER COUSIN HIS WIFE AND THEIR THREE CHILDREN ALL MADE THEIR WAY TO THE BOMB SHELTER LOCATED ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THEIR HOME AND THEN WAITED THE OLD CLEAR. WHAT WAS THAT LIKE FOR YOU HAVING NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE? I GOTTA TELL YOU ISRAELIS ARE ARE IT’S SAD, BUT THEY’RE TO IT. CORN SAYS THE KIDS RESPONDED TO THE SIRENS AS NORMAL ROUTINE, BUT HER HUSBAND RABBI ANDY CORN A TEMPLE EMANUEL IN GREENSBORO SOME 5,000 MILES AWAY. SAYS IT WASN’T ROUTINE FOR HIM YET TO HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER THAT WAS OVER THERE. FRANKLY. I WAS SCARED. I WAS CONCERNED. WERE YOU CONCERNED THIS CORN? UM, YES, OF COURSE. OH LIKE, YOU KNOW THE ROCKETS WERE WERE GETTING FURTHER OR FURTHER, YOU KNOW INTO THE INTO THE COUNTRY INTO PLACES THAT HAVE NEVER SEEN ROCKETS BEFORE. THE 11-DAY WAR BETWEEN HAMAS AND ISRAEL HAS LEFT MORE THAN 200 DEAD. MOST OF THE VICTIMS WERE PALESTINIANS. HAMAS AND ISRAEL AGREED TO A CEASEFIRE A WEEK AGO THE IS THERE ANY HOPE ON THE OR OR PEOPLE GIVING UP ON THE YOU THAT THERE CAN BE A LASTING PIECE. UM, NO, IT’S THERE’S A LOT OF HOPE. DO YOU SHARE THAT? HOPE RABBI? DO YOU THINK THINGS ARE THERE’S A AN ANSWER A SOLUTION SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD HERE MY OPTIMISM ON THE ONE HAND IS ALWAYS TEMPERED BY THE REALITY OF WHO IS THE LEADERSHIP IN THE GAZA STRIP AND HOW THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE A PLAY FOR THE OVERALL PALESTINIAN LEADERSHIP IN MY HEART GOES OUT AND BREAKS FOR ALL ONLY THESE ISRAELI FAMILIES, BUT ALSO, OF THE PALESTINIAN FAMILIES THAT HAVE HAD TO SUFFER UNDER THEIR RULE. THERE’S NO HATRED FOR THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE. THERE IS THERE’S NO HATRED AT ALL. THERE’S HAMAS, WHICH IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION PEACE TALKS HAVE BEEN ON AND OFF WITH DECADES AND EXPERTS WHO FOLLOW THE MIDDLE EAST SAY THAT THE LATEST CEASEFIRE AT BEST IS A TEMPORARY FIX.
