Kesher Talk

What it means: "I think the overriding sense of the whole [thing] is the realization that now I can't leave Israel, I have to stay. I belong here, I'm a Jew, this is our country. This sort of attack makes me want to stay here even more. They do these attacks precisely because they want us to leave. I think that leaving would give them the satisfaction of having their goal accomplished, and I can't let that happen."

--- Hebrew University overseas student Daniel Farahan (Indianapolis, Indiana) speaking with Arutz-7 Radio today after the terrorist attack on his campus today. He left the cafeteria three minutes before the explosion.

UPDATE: The link to the radio interview doesn't work, but here is a Ha'aretz story that talks with many other foreign students at the university.
