The packages are for January/February (a traditionally slow tourist time). This is a deviation from the Tourism Ministry's usual practice, they usually shut down all advertising and promotions when hostilities are at this level.

My daughter was born a week after the Gulf War. My mother could only come for one week so she didn't want to come before I actually gave birth. ElAl was great. For the whole time of the war they let her change her ticket as often as she wanted- no charge, plus an extra suitcase. Nothing like a War Sale.

My in-laws & DH's grandmother were in EY in 1967 when the war broke out. They were evacuated to Europe.

I was here in 1973 when the Yom Kippur war broke out and nobody was evacuated. I can see that in 67 the dangers to the civilian population were greater than in 73.
I certainly don't forsee any plans to evacuate anybody from here in the near future. (yes, I know I'm not a neviah). I"YH, by January/February, when this promotion is in effect, the situation will be better.

I don't disagree with you -- just pointing out what could potentially happen. Personally, I just returned from a trip to EY for Sukkos and would have no problem going back tomorrow. And I have kids living there (I posted here about one couple who was on the scene of the pigua last week in Geulah on Meah Shearim and hid in the bathroom of Sam's Bagels).

In the situation back then in 67, the threat of war generated dire apocalyptic predictions throughout Israel. The preparations for war included mass graves being dug in Tel Aviv, thousands of makeshift hospital beds being prepared and gas masks being amassed. People, and the government prepared for the worst. The war was perceived as an existential threat to the very existence of the State. Levi Eshkol and Yithak Rabin both had what appeared to be nervous breakdowns in the period leading up to the war.
I believe we still face existential threats today but the current outbreak of violence is not one of them.
