In the “grateful for small mercies” department, on Saturday, at 6:20 in the morning, the Home Front Command app on my phone emitted a delicate bleep and informed me that a rocket was expected in my area within a few minutes and that I should seek shelter. This was the first time the pre-warning system had operated on my phone – the system has only been in general use for a few weeks – and I appreciated it, if that’s the right word to use in an incident involving incoming missile fire.

There’s not much to envy in the US political system except for the fact that when a president is elected, it is for four years. Not so Israeli politicians.
