Even though these poles are installed well and into the ground, I am not impressed, nor am I comforted nor feel safer. The security experts first started putting in poles to protect bus stops and hose waiting, after the terrorist rammed into us twenty years ago. They do protect a bit when the weapon is a regular car. But I always felt much safer when able to hid behind those cement barriers if there would be a shooting attack by terrorists.
No, Baruch Hashem and bli eyin haraa, (not the tempt the Evil Eye,) I was never shot at. But while waiting for buses and tremps (rides) I do rehearse in my mind how to hide from danger. And considering the amount of shooting attacks, I don't think that the cement barriers should be scrapped.
What do you think?

I've visited Israel many times without incident, but as the author points out, you can't hide from bullets behind a pole. Keep the cinderblock walls, while not perfect at least they provide some cover from enemy fire.
Unfortunately the evil-doers always come up with another way to harm us, no matter what we do.
Tim, thanks, common sense can go far.
Toby, true, but we shouldn't make it easier for the terrorists.
A while back, when I saw that they were putting such poles by bus-stops in Yerushalayim, I said to myself, "Ah, I see they're building a hospital beneath the bridge!" (I'm assuming you and your readers know that particular Chelmite anecdote.)
Which one?
Its about when many cellmates were jumping off the bridge and landing down under. Instead of stopping the jumpers, they built a hospital under the bridge to treat the jumpers ;-)
Sorta like our Israeli politicians and govt ministers!
Oh, gosh, not cellmates, CHELMITES
Dennis Prager said:
“Israel, it ought to be recalled, is the only country in the world targeted for annihilation. That has been true from the day it was proclaimed as a state in 1948 until today [December 2015].
It was true before Israel was forced to conquer East Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank.
It was true after three Israeli prime ministers:
Yitzchak Rabin, Ehud Barak, and Ehud Olmert, agreed to give up virtually all of Gaza and the West Bank to the Palestinians to set up a Palestinian state.
It was [still] true after Israel have every inch of Gaza to the Palestinians.
All of which proves that when Palestinian spokesmen say they want peace, they do not mean peace WITH Israel, they mean peace WITHOUT Israel.”
