| Israelis built makeshift shelters on balconies across the country in preparation for Iranian nuclear attack. Experts said the “God Pods” would provide little protection |
I do hope that this is satire, but knowing the Muslim mind....
(Jerusalem, September 19) As if sensing an imminent Iranian missile attack, Israelis moved en masse into makeshift shelters on Wednesday night, prompting diplomats and international news organizations to predict that a strike against Tehran’s fast-developing nuclear industry was imminent.From September 18 to 25 Jews around the world celebrate the holiday of Sukkot. During this holiday Jews eat inside "booths" made from PVC pipe, cloth, boards and a roof made of palm fronds.
There was no official announcement, but millions of Israeli citizens made the move on Wednesday, perhaps as the result of a coded message issued by the government and unintelligible to foreigners.
Foreign media have predicted an imminent Israeli attack on Iran at least 26 times in the past five years. They live in hope.
The shelters, visible at homes across Israel, seemed to provide scant protection. Most were hurriedly constructed from wooden boards and roofed with tree branches. Some were lavishly decorated inside, while others remained bare.
The bizarre architecture seems to be based not on modern defense technology but on traditional religious plans for protective booths dating back to the early rabbis.
The shelters were soon dubbed “God Pods” by foreign media analysts.
Israelis were also laying in stocks of citrus fruit, palm branches and other natural vegetation that are believed to have medicinal properties in the event of an attack.
But experts said the God Pods would be “useless” against most modern weapons, even if fired by Iranians.
Not a very sturdy shelter but a great God box for He resides in every one of them.
