A Canadian visits Israel and learns that rockets are fired at them. Appears to be an effort to harm their tourism I imagine.
No peaceful people should be the target of missiles, explosives or otherwise. Humans are a strange, sadistic species

TEL AVIV, Israel — One day last week, I was on the beach. It was a beautiful evening in Tel Aviv, the sun dropping like a red marble into the Mediterranean. Families played in the surf and people rode scooters down the boardwalk. A few days later, I watched a video of that same stretch of beach. Those families were running for their lives as the missile sirens wailed. I had missed the attack by only a few hours.
This has been my first trip to Israel, and as a non-Jewish Canadian, I was not sure what to expect.
I have seen jaw-dropping historic sites, tried fantastic food, and I swear to never complain about Ottawa’s summers again. But what has really struck me is that we Canadians have almost no idea about the reality on the ground in Israel.
