I am planning on moving to Israel on July2003. I want to live on a Kibbutz. In February of 2003 I would like to spend 2 weeks in Israel, finding the right Kibbutz.

Can anyone offer some advice on using my 2 weeks as best as I can ?

Right now, I wouldn't go to Israel for any money in the world. Respect.

I am not going to let a fear of terrorism dictate my actions.

Can I have your TV when you get blown up?

Why do you want to go to Israel now of all times?

I have been wanting to go to Israel for many years. Work/Life conflicts have always gotten in the way. I know that things are rough out there, but I am sick and tired of letting things get in the way.

If you want to get caught in the midst of a brewing firestorm, by all means, enjoy your stay.

I second that...

yeah and add a cell phone for emergencies - the body armor wont keep ur legs attached, maybe even a gas mask might come in handy - if u cant prove to be a Jew u wont get one in Israel (remember '91)

I'd go to Israel before I went to Egypt. Egypt is a hotbed of radical Islam, and they target American Tourists.

American tourists get thier very own police bodygaurds. Israeli tourists/Jews get 24 hr guards with submachine guns. You are pretty safe in Egypt from radicals, but you will potentially get hustled/swindled/pick pocketed.

I hadn't heard that. The government really provides bodygaurds???
