Fears of `civil war': Crisis hotline flooded with calls during city riots [_link]
"We hear people talk about how the world, their environment and their cities have become dangerous places," said Shiri Daniels, ERAN's director. "They feel that the people around them have become hostile. Their views of themselves are also changing. They no longer feel capable and balanced, but instead have become scared and anxious." Many of the calls came from mixed Arab-Jewish cities that emerged as flashpoints of mob violence during the recent conflict, according to Daniels. Both an Arab and Jewish Israeli were killed in the fighting. "We got a call from one woman who said she's so worried about her mother, who lives in Acre, that she is dropping everything and going to be with her," Daniels said. "Some callers say that they are not afraid of the hundreds of rockets being fired at Israel, but what they call `civil war.' That is what is making them feel insecure and unprotected."
