Shortly we will enter the pre 1967 stage
Complete despair, destruction at every corner (sderot is only the beginning, you think there are no kassams hidden in schechem & jenin), preparation of bunkers etc.. and THEN only THEN all yiddisha hearts will break open the heavens, pleading for mercy from the one above.
