This is Wolf Blitzer reporting from the Pentagon. We have had unconfirmed reports of 3 impacts inside Jerusalem. Pentagon officals are now confirming that SCUDS have reaced the Jerusalem area. We now go live to Pentagon spokesperson. the US state dept has confirmed UN- conventional attack on Israel. We are now confirming that SCUDS were in fact nuclear. *** Iraqi Time is Mon 21, 13:00, Israel is one hour behind. if it is not clear both of these bozos are totally full of it, there is no attack on israel. Israel is retaliating. 100 nuclears launched. USSR condems Israeli action, launches nuclear. US condems USSR. Launches nuclear arsenal. please shut up. iraq says 20(uh huh) pows are being moved to economic and scientific sites in attempt to stop allied bombing. So much for the geneva convention *** Iraqi Time is Mon 21, 13:30, Israel is one hour behind. Liberate Palestine! Liberate Latvia, Lithuania! Liberate Panama! Liberate Native American Indian land. Then I will leave Kuwait. they have video of the allied pilot prisoners on cnn, they're about to show it. the pilot looks pretty mauled. bruised eyes, bruised lips, looks shell shocked, tortured even maybe I think. ugh. ugh. I feel sick after seeing the condition of the pow. good night. *** Iraqi Time is Mon 21, 14:00, Israel is one hour behind. Australian ABCTV News reports that Iraqi radio has said that around 20 Allied POWs are to be moved to strategic scientific and military sites as a "defensive move". No word yet on Allied reaction The second night of quiet has passed. No missiles here; they. all seem to be directed at Saudi Arabia now [for the time being?]. It is as if Saddam Hussein tried to involve us in the war but has. given the effort up as a bad job. Or will he come back to us,. his pet peeve, it seems. - The southern part of the country is now back to normal life; other than carrying gas masks with them, it is back to work for. the citizens of Ashdod, Beersheva, Eilat and surrounding regions. Schools will probably reopen there tommorrow. Some Universities. are cautiously reopening, although the end of the first semester. was advanced a week. The Universities are now in inter-semester. and exams are to be given. All trains - only a minor form of. transportation here - are now running on full schedules. - For the exhausted citizens of Israel this was a chance to catch. up on sleep. I was one of the lucky ones who could. Others - a. great minority, it seems - could not; their nerves frazzled, they. only sleep fitfully. - A fair number of Tel Aviv citizens have chosen to leave the. city. They are camping with relatives and friends in what they. perceive to be safer parts of the country. Kibbutzim are crowded. with guests and hotels in Jerusalem, Eilat and Tiberius are enjoying. a small boom. - How do citizens of Israel feel about the governmental decision. not to react to Iraq's attacks by retaliation? A great majority. appear to think that this decision was correct; the left, of. course, totally surprised by Shamir's "mature" [as they see it]. decision, are enamoured of Shamir now. Government critic, MK Dadi. Zucker of the Citizen's Rights Party, spoke of wanting to embrace. Shamir, but for Zucker's self-confessed embarrassment. The hard. line Moledet Party insists on retaliation, now. - Most Israelis are for retaliation in some form. National pride. demands it. How can we passively accept an attack, gratuitous as. it was, by a foreign nation? The problems with retaliation are. both distance and a proper target. The choices seem to be between. a massive attack or an elegant one. There is a feeling that the. airforce is capable of a massive attack even at the distances in- volved which will require refuelling in mid-air. But can we. compete with the coalition? What can we do that they can't? The. possibility of an elegant retaliation seems more attractive; it. would involve limited risk - in numbers - and achieve an important. and visible goal. The killing of Saddam comes to mind as a. possibility. Is this feasible? - Meanwhile the threat of attack on us still exists. The. missile launchers have not been taken out action. The Iraqi. airforce is still intact, its performance capabilities a. question mark. Anxiety here is controlled, people are going. back to work. - Another blow to Israeli pride has been the arrival of US. Army personnel to operate the Patriot missiles. Israel has. prided herself by never before using foreign troops to fight. for her. There is some consolation in the training of Israeli. crews by the US teams and the knowledge that the Americans are. not here for long. - What we can be proud of is the performance of the Civil. Defense, the hospitals, the Army, the Airforce - airplanes are. flying all the time so as to be ready and not attackable on. the ground - the radio and TV and the general population, who. have behaved - almost entirely - in an intelligent, praiseworthy. fashion. - - - __Bob Werman. rwerman@hujivms. Jerusalem. - try page up If your screen overflowed, read infoserv article 7 in ~4 minutes. Oups, that is '8' There is some lack of clarity in the reports about the. use of bomb shelters in Israel. As a matter of fact, there. are now two rather different kinds of bomb shelters in use. in Israel. - The standard bomb shelter is built below ground. For. the past 25 years it has been a requirement to provide bomb. shelters in all buildings erected. Older buildings often. do not have such shelters; their residents depend on neigh- borhood community shelters which are also found in public. areas in the cities. These bomb shelters are [almost] all. vented to the outside world. - With the advent of the threat of poison gas attacks, it. was decided not to use these shelters [except in rare cases. where special ventilation is provided and the shelters can. be closed hermetically]. The possible damage that can be. produced by poison gas, particularly the threat to human life,. is far greater than anticipated from a conventional war head. Since the great majority of the existing shelters can not be. hermetically sealed, and since they are located at ground level. or below, where the denser-than-air poison gases concentrate,. a new type of improvised shelter was instituted throughout. Israel. - The new shelter was a room in a home or apartment, located. as high as possible, that could be isolated and sealed, prefer- ably with only one window. These shelters were prepared by put- ting sponge stripping around the window and door edges, closing. the windows and taping all joints and edges and placing tape on. the glass of the windows to prevent splintering in the case of. blast. In addition, a thick plastic curtain was pasted over the. windows to prevent splintered glass from entering and providing. a secondary defense against the entry of gas. The door edges. were provided with thick strips of plastic tape to be used to. seal them when the doors were closed. Finally, a wet towel was. to be placed at the bottom of the closed door. - It was estimated that the use of such a room would reduce. poison gas induced morbidity/mortality risks by a factor of 10. as compared to the exposed condition. This safety factor would. be greatly improved by the compulsary use of gas masks [special. models for children, incubators for infants] and the presence. of such additional measures as automatic atropine injections and. anti liquid burn powders - all provided to each citizen. - So some 8 times already, all of Israel has sat, sealed into. their anti-poison gas rooms, wearing masks and waiting. Some 20. casualties from blast and shrapnel have thus all far been mild. Property damage produced by the missiles has, in a number of cases. - on the other hand - been extensive. No one resents or regrets. the choice of people over property. Several elderly people choked. to death by not pulling out the plug on the mask - all on the. first day. One Israeli Arab child choked to death when parents. forced her to wear the mask. No poison gas has been used - thus. far. - Learning to use the masks properly, not fastening the straps. too tightly, talking, breathing without hyperventilating has been a. universal experience. Initially large numbers of people found them- selves sweating unbearably, clouding the glass so as to blind oneself. Others, particularly children, vomited, for the most part after remov- ing the mask. Learning and reuse helped in almost all cases. Radio. and TV instructions repeated over and over again helped. - A story: sitting in the anti-gas room, members of the family try. to put on a brave face, make jokes. How we all look like elephants; how an elephant would approach one of us and mistake him/her for his. mother. Only the dog, a rather stately collie, sits quietly and does. not appear at all excited. We pity the dog, for he is the only one. without a mask. But then we remember that - without a mask - he is. our pigeon in the coal mine, the measure of poison gas that has leaked. in. - - __Bob Werman. rwerman@hujivms.
