I'm going to go and Clop and by let's go right to Israel to tell a me that's where Julio Rosa says he is an independent journalist

you can find his stuff at hulio rosas dot sub-stac.

that come hulio nice to make your acquaintance. How are you?

I'm doing good Joe. Thanks for having me.

Do you in general feel safe where you're sitting in Tel Aviv or do the sirens go off at all hours of the night?

You'll know what's going to happen next.

Well, it's funny you ask that because about 30 minutes ago, sirens from rock, because of rockets that were fired

by Kamas, were blared here in Tel Aviv and probably about an hour before that there was also another

barrage of rockets that were fired at Tel Aviv.

So it really just depends just because I mean this this is a fact of life for for people

here and in Israel I mean with everything that's going on yeah Tel Aviv is about 45 minutes 50 minutes away from Gaza but you know it's still very much in the crosshairs and of course that doesn't even begin to address the cities in the north who are threatened by Hezbollah.

So I mean, it's not happening every single minute, but it is something that I've gotten used used to being here.

I was driving on the highway earlier today and I saw people pulling off the side of the road

and I thought, oh, that's kind of weird.

Then I turned off my music that I was playing kind of lovely and

that's when I heard the sirens so you know they were they were the smart ones

and you know me being being the being the new person you know that's something that guy

had to you start paying attention to really it's
