> 2) I want to return to Israel, regardless of the current political conditions of the country. FACT: The Israelies and the Palastinians will always be fighting, but when was the last time you heard about a TOURIST getting attacked?

Well, you're right. No-one's specifically aiming for the tourists. But I don't think that that would make too much difference if you happen to be sharing a restaurant with a suicide bomber, or crossing the road during a drive-by shooting.

To be less pessimistic about the place, you'd probably have more chance of getting killed if you went to Belfast (but I can't back that up with facts and figures), but going into a war zone is always a dangerous thing to do.
