Lol, guys. Israel is actually the safest you can get as a tourist in the Middle East, despite the occasional tensions and rockets. As long as you don't go on the other side of the fence or go looking for trouble or end up in the middle of the occasional stone throwing you'll be fine.
I used to work for an Israeli company and had many colleagues go there on a regular basis. Never any incident, not even during the summer of 2006 when retards were shooting rockets from Lebanon. My colleagues loved the country, the people, the partying, the food.yeah, that's what I think, but i'm just trying to see if any member has already been there so he can share his experience
I would feel bad avout encouraging them but its not any worse than buying overpriced Nike shoes made by children I guess./QUOTE]
please elaborate?
Broody, if I remember correctly you're a separatist / "independantist" aren't you?I would feel bad avout encouraging them
Broody, if I remember correctly you're a separatist / "independantist" aren't you?
If you are, then I'm surprised you're against Israel, because its situation is incredibly similar to Quebec: a small ethnic group (7 million francos here, 6 mil jews there) surrounded on all sides by a much much larger etnic/cultural group ( >300 mil anglos around Qc, > 150 mil arabs around Israel) and having a (unhappy) minority of that large ethnic group inside its borders (8% in Qc, 20% there).
The differences are that israelis did manage to obtain their independence and build their own country, while Qc dind't and that anglos here don't shoot rockets into Quebec the way Israel's neighbors do. If they did, I bet an independent Qc would respond the same way Israel does, because you gotta defend your ass when someone's trying so hard to kill you.
The differences are that israelis were given a country, as well as money and weapons build their own country,

your comparison is wrong. the arabs are like the amerindians or the acadians and the jews are like us.
we destroyed most acadian/amerindian families and communities.
that is the proper comparison.
What would you do if you were caged in or forcefully evicted ? Keep calm and party on ?Broody, if I remember correctly you're a separatist / "independantist" aren't you?
