Here is a thought. Set a 60 second timer, see how fast you can reach a shelter within that timer. Now imagine that at the end of the timer rockets may or may not strike your home or your family's home. Are okay with that? Remember that 60 second timer can go off at any moment, including your commute to work.
That's what you're calling an "idle threat" that Israelis are presented with constantly.
That's more warning than Americans get when some rando decides to shoot up a shopping mall....or a school...or a sports stadium...or the highway on the commute to work. As if no one else in the world is subject to that kind of threat....
There is no government on earth the US would allow to exist if it regularly sent terrorists into schools, sports stadiums, or highways on the commute to work.
So yes, great analogy.
Lol.
