A Portuguese who has lived in Tel Aviv for four years told TVI24 the climate of fear that lives in Israel today after the conflict with Palestine flared up again a week ago.
David Rosh Pina, a businessman, said that over the past week, thousands of rockets have fallen overnight in Tel Aviv’s metropolitan areas with the clear intent of killing civilians.
The “Iron Dome”, Israel’s air defense system, was the main guarantor of the security of the Israelis, ”said the Portuguese, who saw missiles being intercepted near his house.
Something extraordinary is happening, which usually does not happen, but will largely depend on us and on the ability of the civilian population to resist these attacks, which I consider to be genocide by the civilian population. We are talking about megacities with a population of two or three million people, which are attacked by missiles and miraculously intercepted by the Iron Dome, Tel Aviv’s protective shield. I had to intercept missiles 30 meters from the house. This is not a situation in which I want someone to do, we are dealing with an opponent who was wrong and will not stop. “, described.
Like the rest of the population, David Rosh Pina tries to lead a normal life despite noticing “race to supermarkets” and know that “Some embassies are taking their citizens out”…
The entire population is trying to live their own lives, my business is open, the Israeli economy is very strong, we continue to move forward, but as you can estimate, about 3,000 missiles over a metropolis are cruel, terrible. what affects psychologically. Many people are unable to sleep or are forced to stay awake at night due to rockets that are systematically launched over civilian areas. “he pointed out.
As for the causes of the conflict, the Portuguese citizen considered that “Israel is not an ideal country”but this “totally different” Haver “A terrorist organization that comes from outside and attacks civilians in megacities in the middle of the night with missiles in order to kill as many people as possible”…
There is no moral equivalent to this “– he asserted.
In the meantime, he will continue to live in Israel, where he lives.
I don’t know if I’ll have to leave here, I don’t know tomorrow, but when I see how my fellow citizens resist, how they resist every day, the immoral attack of a terrorist organization, I don’t feel strong enough to abandon them. ”
