Just a brief response. I know a lot of Israelis. I think they are far better prepared to stay put then to bug out. Just about everyone I know has a dedicated, sealed safe-room in their house, with food, water, medical supplies, gas masks, chemical toilets, the works.

Their degree of preparation would be unheard of in the US or most other countries. In fact, I think it would freak most Americans out, but reality has a nasty way of interfering with ordinary life.
