Is it safe to go to Israel?

Question

I'm going to Israel soon. I am a blond, very foreign looking female. How safe is it for me to go alone?

I don't want to be rude, but am I going to get bombed the second I step off the plane?

I will be there for a few months and I don't want to die.

Here in the US we have has some bad reports of terrorists attacks in Israel. Will someone in Israel please tell me how often it really happens?

Answer 1

You'll be OK, the haters will be busy, here, writing.

Israel is full of Israeli blonds, boys and girls, we have people with all hair colors.

Answer 3

its the same as i would ask is it safe to go to the US i hear aloght of reports of kidnapping and murder

Answer 4

You will be very safe  . It is only the dangerous Arab children whom they kill.  They would not dare harm your golden mane . Try to blend in though by queue jumping  & arguing every price.  Be as rude & as arrogant as possible then you should be fine.

Have a nice trip :)

Answer 5

Hahaha Israel is the most unsafe place in the world. Why would you risk your life with all the bombs, the second you get off the plane you'll here an explosion. And Israeli's are very racist so you will defintely be bothered. Israel regularly attack Hamas so I guess some buildings will be falling soon. If you want to get your life at risk then go, otherwise stay in the US in your safe little house.

Answer 6

It is very safe to come!!

I was born an American, also very afraid of travel to Israel, but as soon as I got off the plane, I felt very safe and welcomed. The security in Israel is amazing, and no worries, there are plenty of blond haired Jews who came from the Former Soviet Union to Israel a few years ago. These days, bombings almost never take place, the media just wants you to think that it is some sort of war zone. Around the year 2000, an Orthodox Jew, Baruch Goldstein killed some Palestinians which led to the Intifada, or Uprising. Israelis and Palestinians are very hospitable and freindly people, despite how the news portrays us. These days the Intifada has ended and tourists now come again. Take it from someone who visits all of the time, it is an amazing country with ancient sites, nice beaches, great nightlife, holy buildings, etc.

See you there!!

Answer 7

Don't go to Sderot and you'll be fine.  Tourists are good for the economy -- for both Jews and Palestinians.  They want to keep you safe so you can spend your money and come back for 2nd and 3rd trips!

We were there three years ago and everyone thanked us for coming.  It became much safer when they put up the barrier.

Enjoy!

Answer 8

Israel is not a normal place , it is a colonial country founded by force and terror over  the dead bodies of the land owner - Palestinians- it is like a military facility, chick points are every where, its an occupation of other people's land, what do you expect !! there will always be resistance, the Palestinians will never let the invaders rest in peace on Palestinians land, every Israeli citizen is a potential soldier under request, like the thief never feels safe .

Edit :

Don't count on being American citizen, if by accident, you were in any spot of exchanging fire , the Israeli soldiers wouldn't care if you are an American , foreigners reporters are being killed there, and remember  Rachel Corry the 21 years old American peace activists, who was murdered savagly when the Israeli buldozer driver ran over her body and crached her in 2003 when she was trying to stop it from demolishing a Palestinian house :

If Americans Knew What Israel Is Doing :

And they are calling those helpless people terrorists, only because they don't accept to lay down and die, they are resisting  the Israeli brutalities , and they have all the right to do that .

Answer 9

If i were you i will not take the risk

Why don't you go to Dubai ,UAE ?.

it is amazing

Answer 10

Israel is the biggest terror state of our time.  Israel kills Arab Christians and Muslims in order to take their land this is as evil as it could only get. The whole world knows about Israel's evil accept maybe Americans.  Just look at all the human rights report israel has been condemned at least thousand times.

The Israelis are in control of the U.S. policies and they also control the media.

Answer 11

OH WILL YOU ALL SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive been to Israel three times last year, and its one of the safest places you can be, they check EVERYTHING really well, and if you think you'll be bombed as soon as you get off a plane, then youve watched too many movies. rockets are fired only into the southern towns occasionally (Sderot, Ashqelon) and theyre far from the airports, dont worry and enjoy youre trip.

Answer 12

You can go if you like adventure.

But this is not a happy place to visit.

Very very dangerous too.

last week the jews killed an Arabian family you know.

Can you imagine how the survivors will react?

(Boom!) That's right, you guessed right!

Personally I would visit Cyprus (Agia Napa) where every night in the bars are held s*x contests like   p.ussie l*****g contests (for the girls) or orals for the boys and anyone can have the best sexual experience ever.

That's how I like to spend my vacations mostly.

Rhodes island, near Turkey has the best bars ever!

I have been to Mykonos and Ibiza but everyone is a g*y or a L*****n and it's not my cup of tea.

I just like to visit a place where everyone is having fun, a lot of booze, no police to watch over me and lots of s*x.

Maybe when I get older , like 25 yrs old I may go to cruises and visit museums and stuff.

Bye bye

Answer 13

im Palestinian born in the US and the only trouble ive had was the Israeli security they broke one of my items saying it was "like that"! **** Israel

Answer 14

is it safe to live in the US? its the same question!

look on the bright side...even if you do die you won't ever know it!

Answer 15

For the exact reasons I had to cancel my daughter's summer trip to Israel.

There is absolutely no way anyone that can predict when or where a Palestinian guerrilla will retaliate within Israel.

I would postpone my trip to Israel until both sides sit around a table and start talking peace.

Not only then I'd feel more safe but also I'd use this trip to encourage and welcome peace.

South Italy or a Greek islands cruise would sound more reasonable if I were you my dear.

In any case I wish you the best of times.

Answer 16

the media here is 1 sided! we never hear anything about the attacks on the Arabs.

Answer 17

The ones who need worry are Arabs--not you, my fair-haired beauty! If any of them dare harm a golden hair on your head, I'll do some hair restyling of my own on them. So, fear not, fair maiden! Bad, bad terrorists will be kept away from beautiful blonde women like you!

Answer 18

you might be safe there but the moment you are there, you were stepping on millions of Palestinian blood.

Answer 19

You should be ok as a foreigner in Israel. The only risk is from the missiles that Hamas the child killing group fires randomly every day aiming at any child in Israel. So keep away from schools and areas with children. Israel is a great place but travel with commonsense. Israeli people will always ensure your safety as much as possible.

Answer 20

It's safe, don't worry!

Welcome to Israel!!!

Regards

Answer 21

no Israel is the fu(kest country of the world

so dont visit there

israeli people dont know how to respect human beings

Answer 22

I am glad to see you are having a good laugh at everyone's expense, but not at mine.

Sincerely,

Ms. Miche ; })

Answer 23

yes Israel is very safe, Israel has the best security in the world, you have a better chance to be killed in a road accident then by a terrorist attack in Israel.

i don't want to disappoint you, but a very large of the Israeli population has blond hair/blue eyes, so you will blend in.

Answer 24

Yes it is safe.   Emailed you a further answer.

Answer 25

I would not comment on safety because if you are unlucky you will explode as soon as you land or you might return home safe. What appalls me is strip searching at the airport. Yes, they will have you in the nude to see if you are hiding bombs in your cleavage and your panties too. You might want to google strip search at the airport before deciding to visit. I am telling the truth.

Answer 26

I would wait until the Arabs and the Jews become pals and then maybe I would visit, but certainly not before that.

It's too dangerous right now.

Answer 27

I want to give a real answer - I live in Israel and I love this country.

Basically, Israel is safe, but no one can guarantee 100% safety. There is always a small risk. However, if you are smart, and stay clear of troubled areas such Sderot or other areas near unsafe borders, you should be OK. But can anyone predict, when terrorists will attack, where they will attack - it's impossible to know.

Even countries that are supposedly safe have had their share of terrorism - Spain, England, US, and other countries as well. This is a world problem and not only Israel's problem.

I hope you will visit Israel.

Answer 28

very safe.

be careful from the jewish zionists.

Answer 29

I've had enough of "Israel" myself lady.

Yes I am Jewish and I don't like Israel, is that a problem?

I was pick-pocketed three times the cab drivers charged me double fare far too many times and I've almost been hit by ARMY vehicles more than a dozen times.

I always live in fear of some Palestinian dude sneaking up behind me and blowing me to million pieces.

I prefer New York myself.

C'mon delete my answer you Israeli "police" I don't care because I had to warn that lovely lady asking a simple question!

I'll post again I don't mind the trouble if that can save an innocent visitor from getting killed on that land of ours.

Shalom!

Israel chai!

Answer 30

are you going to be bombed the moment you step of the plane??



Talk about  stupid American .If I were you, I would worry about being shot by an  Israeli, or being driven and dumped  over in the west  bank  where  the Arabs live. Let them deal with your ignorance.  If you think  any  country  is that unsafe, then stay  home.  Simple and easy.

Answer 31

Just to let you know, Israel and Israel travel section of YA are two totally different places.

while you'll get some crazy answers here because YA lets the crazies in to post, you won't see this lack of control in Israel.  They typically keep the crazies out and things more under control.

Go have some fun, it's safe.  I'm a single woman that travels too it wouldn't bother me at all to go. I'm even confident enough I'd go down to southern Israel by Gaza. If you're not so confident then just stay outside of rocket range from Gaza and that's easy they only have short range rockets within only few kilometers of the Gaza strip.  Take advantage of your opportunity to travel.  Good luck.
