\"The gunfire became more and more intense, and we

heard several explosions. We tried to relax and take the attitude of

the Palestinians we have talked to who upon seeing our tears tell

us... \"This is our life. We don't get upset. This is just the way it

is. We actually SAW the \"rockets red glare and bombs

bursting in air.\" It's unbelievable they live with this nightmare

all the time.\"
