JI: Virtually everyone in Israel speaks some version of English. Some Brit, some American and some Aussie/ South African. You walk about near the beach in Tel Aviv and you almost do a double take and think you're in Miami Beach! The major distinction is the groups of young(18-19), khaki clad, off-duty soldiers, who, nevertheless,are sporting ( loaded magazine attached, but not seated ) M-16s in front cross body carry, hand on pistol grip, everywhere you go. It is surprising on the first day and invisible by the third. Not much street crime to speak of, as a result thereof. Also, no feeling of menace apparent. Not even up on the Golan. Tough Jews those Isrealis!

I had forgotten that I had started this thread. There's a saying, "Better late than never." In this case, better premature than never.

A somber thought, and one that hopefully won't come to pass!

A somber thought, and one that hopefully won't come to pass! I wish we began moving earlier because we would not be rushing so much, but we need to be close to family in situations like these. Now, we can prepare more than just physically for whatever the current situation leads us. Jeanette Isabelle

. . .
what creatures are likely to be surviving after WWIII? On land, I'd say its probably rats and crows. The scavengers and the carrion feeders. Rats are great survivors and will eat almost anything. Crows are pretty smart.
. . . WW III. In a recent poll, cockroaches were 97% in favor.

I remember from reading about this subject in the late 1950s-early 1960s, that the clear survivors would be swine, rats and cockroaches.
