hm1912 Posted August 10, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 10, 2006 Nice euphamism, "safety room." When I was on Kibbutz we called ours the "moadon". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted August 10, 2006 ha ha ilan, when all neighburs around gether sometimes, we also call it "parlament". there is one philosopher (me), one proffessor in economy, other in history and some other homble people. by the way - most of the discussions are on the "moral grounds" - should our army get more agressive to protect with airforces our own soldiers, or should it be more gentle - risking much less the lebanies civilians but risking more our own soldiers. really surialistic - imagine: those loudy alerts, kids laughing and playing, the adults discuss the situaltion and moralities etc :-))))) ah - after ten minutes or so after the alerts u can leave the safety room. so either we keep on trhe discussions and the games or say "bye - soon will get back to continue" :-))) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertwang Posted August 11, 2006 Share #6 Posted August 11, 2006 Is safety room a preferred term over bomb shelter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted August 11, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) ah - albert no - it is not psycology. this is not a real bomb shelter or bunker. in many houses in israel there is "mamad" or little "miklat" which is translated to "safty room".

hm1912 Posted August 11, 2006 Share #8 Posted August 11, 2006 Our "moadon" on Kibbutz was actually a bomb shelter, the "safety room" at my cousin's place near Tel Aviv is sometimes referred to as my room (as in I get to sleep in the flat's "bomb shelter". It's nice, except the door is very hard to close! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted August 11, 2006 ha ha ilan - ya, i know how creativly those bomb shelters and safty rooms can be used :-))) a freiend ofo mine has a digi musical studio in bomb shelter :-))) anyway - i hope one day we will live with our neighburs like danish people live with swedishs:-))) ya sure:-))) for some redicalists and extremists too the sweeden and denmark life style is a fine example from their point of view :-)))) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm1912 Posted August 11, 2006 Share #10 Posted August 11, 2006 Israelis always say they would like to live like the Danes or the Swedes, but come on, with the cold weathers they got would you really want to.... Anyhow, back to reality. I'm going away for a bit, so forgive me if I disappear from the forum for a few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted August 11, 2006 Share #11 Posted August 11, 2006 I feel for you. Although we have established today that this is not the place for political discussions, I too hope that in the very near future you can live with your Lebanese and Palestinian neighbours as we in England do with the Scots and Welsh (and they do with us ) We have a friendly rivalry on the rugby and occasional football field, but some sort of grudging mutual respect all the other times. I think. The days of killing each other just to make a point have long gone. Which is the way it should be. Not throwing Katyusha rockets and bunker-busters at each other, killing each other's kids. Where's the good in that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh is not exactly the moon when it comes to 'net access Ilan At least I hope not. My daughter is (exam results willing) about to go there to the University.
