Introduction
Violence is a harsh reality in contemporary
society, and terrorism is everyones problem. Americans
traveling abroad are vulnerable "soft" targets for
terrorists and criminals. Whether you are concerned about
being abducted by a stalker, being kidnapped by terrorists,
or held at gunpoint during a robbery, you must be specifically
trained in order to survive. Knowing what to do (and what
you should never do) if you are taken hostage could mean the
difference between life and death.
In Israel, where terrorism has been a serious
concern for more than fifty years, terrorism survival is a
solvent issue. Israeli diplomats, business executives and
travelers are regularly updated on the threat of terrorism
and specifically trained in kidnapping countermeasures.
Our Terrorism Survival course teaches how
to plan preventive strategies and implement practical security
measures while on travel. Illustration of risk scenarios and
responses for personal safety are explicitly addressed in
a no nonsense format.
