Nuclear Holocausts: Atomic War in Fiction, 1895-1984
During the First Gulf War, Israel deployed a secret weapon against the missiles arriving from Iraq. Whenever a launching was detected, the television and radio broadcasts were interrupted with a scary siren and an evil voice saying “Nahash Tzefa,” “cobra snake” in Hebrew, which was the military code chosen for the event. We run into the designed shelters, our gas masks treated as lifesaving devices.
Seconds later, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Nachman Shay would appear on the television updating on the situation. A bottle of fresh water was next to him, in order to emphasize what he tirelessly repeated: “Drink water, calm down!” He showed the people how to accomplish the feat. Anti-Skud water was Israel’s best answer; after a few days, Mr. Shay was the funniest clown in the Middle East. Coca-Cola Enjoy!
At the time, I lived and taught at the Green Village, a boarding school near Tel Aviv University, where I studied. It is located one junction away from Glilot, where the Mossad Headquarters are, where a central installation of the IDF Intelligence Directorate is, and where a major gas farm was. The junction was Iraq’s main target. One of their missiles missed a gas-tank for a few meters. That hit would have been enough to seriously maim* Israel.
