BristolNewbie:

Thank you for that enlightening comment. I wonder how you managed to find it ! Obviously you are a Talmudic scholar !!

And next time you post a link try reading it to the end.

I found it with the help of this magic website: [http://www.lamsza.com/]

• Rebbe, Can we use the Lonely Planet forum while studying the Talmud?
• That is strictly forbidden.
• But can we study the Talmud while using the Lonely Planet forum?
• You can study the Talmud anytime.

Don`t take yourselves so seriously guys! Have fun! :)

Surpise military attacks aren't usually announced in advance. Chances are you'll have a good time in Israel. If something happens, you can usually count on your home country's embassy for evacuation :))

There's a strange atmosphere in Israel, where people are all talking about the upcoming "war" and of what they should do. People in Jerusalem feel safe because they think the holy city will not be a target, while people living in Tel Aviv are very nervous as they think they will be targeted first. Many people do not believe anything will happen but others think Netanyahu will really attack despite Israeli army senior officers advice not to. but Still I think there's no reason to cancel your trip, just make sure you can contact your embassy in case of need.

I live in Israel, and you are welcome to come with no worries.

EVERYONE in Israel is discussing the possible upcoming war, wondering whether the Americans will let Netanyahu strike Iran.

=================================================
No they are not.

All the newspapers speak of Netanyahu's warnings that Iran has the capacity to strike Tel Aviv and other major cities in retalitation.

============================================
Again, someone depending solely on the media to reach inaccurate conclusions.
Quite true. The newspapers speak of it. But the people in general aren't discussing it.

Of course people are nervous, who woudn't be?

===================================
No they aren't. Again, you are drawing incorrect conclusions from the media.

Right now, Thursday morning headlines on the most popular Israeli news websites include an upcoming report regarding a 2010 forest fire on Mt. Carmel, the situation in Syria, Prince Harry's career as a pilot, negotiations regarding a union strike, etc. Nothing on Iran in the main headlines.
Iran is in the news but at about the same frequency as it is on CNN, BBC, NY Times, etc.
People discuss the subject but not more than they do other matters. I would say tension and nervousness do not describe the atmosphere at all.
It's just another sunny day.
