So Ugly

“Talma Ros now wears 

a radio headset continuously

all through the night - -”

“I’m wearing The Radio so that 

I can hear The Alarm, because 

The House is so noisy 

all the time.”

So….. when are you sleeping?

“And The Alarm is SO weak, 

I ALMOST Didn’t hear it —”

She’s talking about the 

Israeli Civil Defence

AIR-RAID SIRENS.

She says they are 

not loud enough 

to protect Her Family.

So she has murdered sleep 

to become a half-robot.

“— and once we HEARD it,

I was standing, ARGUING 

with my husband about 

whether it’s an alarm or not —”

“The Threat of GAS has 

provoked NATIONAL Trauma.”

“Gas is attatched to Holocaust —

It is attached to…. 

Being suffocated.

And not to be able to 

Do anything ABOUT it….

It’s a humiliating 

sort of feeling.

If you fight back, if 

you can fight back, 

you have a weapon…. 

But HOW can you 

fight back with THIS ??

— you CANNOT; 

it’s all so UGLY.”
