Early in the morning on the 13th June 2025 the air raid sirens and the phone alerts came and you had to move to a communal centre with your partner and your two children.
What thoughts go through your head when you hear the bombs overhead?
What conversations do you have with other people sheltering?
What do you tell your children?
Does it make people think about what it must be like for people in Gaza as the bombs rain down on them and they have no shelters?
How do you do this day after day when those sirens alert you once again to take cover?
Now that the war with Iran “is over” how do you feel?
What is the position with Gaza and has this changed the standing of Netanyahu?
Very recently I chatted with Paul Kearns, an urban planner, author and journalist about his experience living in Tel Aviv with his young family for the last 8 years, and wondered what is he still doing there?
Paul is a fascinating character who is very vocal about the war in Gaza, that is being very carefully censored and sanitised by the media in Israel. He writes prolifically about the war and is not shy about calling it as it is and enlightening readers about the “real” truth.
I captured this revealing conversation with Paul on my podcast
A huge thanks to Paul Kearns for his time and honesty.
