If thats the case. Why can't I go to Jerusalam. I'm Catholic and would love to go to Bethlehem and Jerusalam but can't because it will be too difficult to get insurance and the foreign office advises against non-essential travel.
You forget that last Christmas, Palestines were hiding out in the Birthplace of Christ at Bethlehem.
me too!!! a couple years ago they cancelled my class trip. we went to georgie instead :blink: it was fun, but not as good as israel! im going next summer though AND IM SO EXCITED. OMG AND I JUST REMEMBER MY FRIEND JUST CAME HOME TODAY AFTER 4 MONTHS IN JERUSALEM!!! *runs off to call him!!*Spirit said:yea.. its deffinatly not as safe as it used to be.. i wish it was
then please explain why there are still Israelis in the Palestinians lands? and why are the Palestinians treated as second class citizens in their own lands? they have to be detained at checkpoints and such.MVhunny said:well, israel offered to give the palestinians a state of their own so its obviously not an all or nothing attitude, unlike arafat who rejected this plan because it didnt give the palestinians all of israel.

ok but thats different then what someone else was saying. israel isnt telling non israelis they cant come. quite the contrary, they need tourists to stimulate the economy!!noggi16 said:and risk it?
All we ever hear about is suicide bombers and terroist attacks. I lived with that all my life because the IRA. They blew up my home city on my birthday.
