Resident of Rocket-Stricken Israel Addresses UN Security Council
(Algemeiner) Adele Raemer - who lives in Kibbutz Nirim, adjacent to the border with Hamas-ruled Gaza - was invited to speak at the UN Security Council on Wednesday by U.S. Ambassador Kelly Craft. Raemer, whose bedroom was destroyed by a rocket in the summer of 2014, asked: "Have you ever had to run for your life? When I hear the Red Alert early warning system for incoming rockets, I know that I have between 5-10 seconds to get to someplace safe....If I am out, I either throw myself down next to a wall, or just lie down wherever I am, cover my head and hope that whatever falls doesn't fall too close."
