Dying for a Degree

[Ynet News] Omri Keinan - Below the kibbutz-like surface and the relaxed atmosphere at Sapir College, one can find a horrifying reality. You will not find students sitting on the grass. They are scared to be left without shelter should rockets land. Almost every day there are "Red Alerts" and Kassam rockets landing, followed by tears, mass panic, and concerned phone calls from home. I do not have the confidence to say that tomorrow's Kassam rocket will not hit me or any one of my friends at the college. Can you comprehend that this is how students in Israel go about their studies? Do we need to sacrifice our lives for the sake of an academic degree?
