Jew[ish]

by Matt Greene

We’re lucky that we’ve got a secure site and we tweaked our security arrangements accordingly because after each drill there’s an assessment about what needs to change, if there are things we need to adapt . . . Jewish schools all have security guards. They all have gates. Other schools are waking up to the risks of terrorism now but we’ve been used to this for years. It’s been normalised for a very long time.’

In that climate, surely anyone would want protection. Fears like this create Israel's Iron Sky, but they also create paranoia. It's hard to convince someone they're not out to get you when the news says otherwise.
