Feeling of Being Threatened

How do you feel when you are under threat? That is what Israel has felt since 1948. This feeling has been growing fast as the threat widened. Benny Morris described it very well.

Threat comes from Arab-Muslim communities that surround and never welcome Israel; Global opinion that condemns Israel's violation against human right; Hamas that on the ground controls Gaza strip and owns thousands of rockets, Hezbollah with stronger power after Israel attacks of 2006 to the south of Lebanon; Iran with potentially future nuclear weapon in hand and fast growing population of Arab-Israelian entire Israel.

How long can Israel live with feeling of being threatened? Not long, may be...

I also cannot imagine how their feeling or daily life if always under the threat.
Uncomfortable life!
