Getting ready for the net round of missile escalation from Gaza - A personal four-minute, documentary by Noam Bedein of SderotMedia.com. See the Sderot children "playing" in the new missile-proof playgrounds! In Noam's words: ..."Capturing a playground and a bomb shelter in the same photograph- I capture a scene that is both unique and unacceptable in the entire world. The situation of Sderot and the western Negev begs a question-- what other Western Democracy in the world, would tolerate even 1 rocket fired at its civilians? What other country in the world has bomb shelters built alongside playgrounds, schools and kindergartens?
Expecting children playing in their playground, to run for their lives within 15 seconds, once the siren - 'Tseva Adom' goes off...has become the norm here. This summer during the 'cease fire' - a special playground was built, like no other in the world - a playground with swings, seesaws, and a concrete sheltered 'caterpillar' for children to run to once Kassam rockets and missiles begin exploding upon Sderot when the 'cease-fire' ends."
