Holy shit, am I ever ridiculously happy right now.


YES!


*dances to Hebrew pop*

Jew-crew + two weeks in Galilee = Gong-show crazy fun!

Good for you.

Don't go dying on us, now. :p

Congratulations! It's a beautiful and glorious country. :)

Congratulations! It's a beautiful and glorious country. :)Eh, I can think of many decidedly un-glorious things about it. But overall, I'm a fan. yeah. *grin*

Have fun!

I've never been... I probably should go sooner or later, if no other reason than the fact that my Hebrew is decaying with disuse.

Have fun, I suppose. At least you're not going in the summer (it's absolute torture, I've tried it).

bin before must say its very quite particularly at night (though I guess I must of come at a bad time maybe?)

Anyway Israeli women are hot nuff said

How's the Israeli alcohol over there, eh?

Best wishes and be safe!

Have fun!

I've never been... I probably should go sooner or later, if no other reason than the fact that my Hebrew is decaying with disuse.How'd you acquire such good Hebrew? I'm curious because I went to Talmud Torah, but the Hebrew program there was really very defficient - I got all my Hebrew at home. That's one a the best things about Israel, for me, I get to speak Hebrew with someone other than my mum!!

haha, I was actually there this summer too, and it was far from torture. That's why I'm so psyched to be going back so soon! I thought I'd have to wait an entire year! Jerusalem's cool wind on summer evening may just be the best feeling in the world.

Eight years of Jewish private school, plus continuing practice with friends and other Hebrew-speaking Jews.

My Hebrew is not actually all that great. I have a lot of trouble with vocabulary, and it takes a while for enough of it to come back to have a coherent conversation.

Well, you obviously weren't somewhere in Israel's version of the deep south... it's enough to have mosquitoes, saturating heat (over 36º), and other shit without having to worry about militants in the Gaza strip armed with rockets. I doubt I'd be complaining as much if I'd been in Jerusalem or the North. For one thing, better internet access. ;)

Hearing it all around me not only makes me happy, but I can feel myself soaking the vocab in. Interestingly, I find that there's incredibly quick evolution of slang in Israel - some f it verry funny. For some reason the Hebrew language, or just Israelis in general, crack me up.

I stick to the hills and the high-speed for the most part. Wouldn't be caught dead in Eilat for example - what a shithole of a place. On the other hand, I enjoyed Mitzpe quite a bit despite the heat.

have fun supporting occupation.....or something.

Wow, you drew praise from NS's two foremost neocons! :p
Heh, congrats. Stay safe.

Huh? I'm not supporting anything by my mere presence.

so your not going to spend any money at all while your there?

so your not going to spend any money at all while your there?

You live in the US, right? Every day, you are supporting the government that destroyed Iraq, a crime, in casualty numbers and long-term consequences, that far outweighs everything Israel has done since its inception.

so your not going to spend any money at all while your there?I think notions of boycotting are pretty much the least effective way of effecting political change in Israel specifically. Palestinians now depend solely on Israel and the international community economically. Biting the hand that feeds is a bad idea.

I really don't know how supporing a few hard-working Israeli buisness people has anything to do with occupation.

I'm going 1 month from today! I can't wait myself.

Wait, Israel has humidity? I thought it was a desert? :confused:

Based off of the secret formula in John Geller's book Yes, But Is It Good for the Jews?, I'd give this comment a 7.1 out of 14.

I'm going 1 month from today! I can't wait myself.Cool. We'll be there at the same time.

*realizes Israelis are jerks*
You, sir, are an antisemite!

*slaps with glove*

:p

Have fun though.

I got nothing against you. Just IDF. He's a reverse Nazi; he hates Germans.

Have fun though.I'm anti-men-with-swollen-heads-since-they-once-wore-uniforms-and-carried-guns. To that I freely admit.


And I was adressed as "You, Sir"!
Thanks Leonstein, I've always wished that would happen to me.

and gloves! my fave (yeah, I did just say fave) winter purchase!

I'm anti-men-with-swollen-heads-since-they-once-wore-uniforms-and-carried-guns. Isn't men-with-swollen-heads-who-wear-uniforms-and-carry-guns what Israel is based on?

Based on? no, not really. It's a bit of an unfortunate side-effect.

Based on? no, not really. It's a bit of an unfortunate side-effect.Side-effect of what? Zionism? Israel surely wouldn't exist without its military?

Yeah it wouldn't. My point is that I'm anti-jerk, and jerkish men result often from ego trips. I'm not saying I would prefer that the IDF didn't exist.

Well, I would call Israel mega-jerk, and I would agree to viewing Zionists/Israelis as on a major collective ego trip. So what will you do there for leisure? Drive another Palestinian family from their ancestral home? Or do some wailing in front of a certain wall while making weird convulsions?

You're a dick.

Also, are you related to Borat? Did you enjoy the Running of the Jew this year? Are you worried that Jews will poison you? :rolleyes:

Palestinians are ARABS. They represent the invading cultures from the arabian peninsula that came in from the south long after the Jews were forced to leave. It's the Palestinians that are in the Israelis' ancestral home. If they want to pretend they were there before Arabic culture, then fine. They should convert back to Judaism and speak Hebrew, like the rest of the native people.

And to the OP, congrats :)

Mythotic thats crap, it wasn't even funny. You want to argue it - start a thread and don't wreck this one.

everyone should boycot israel.

The only consequence of which will be the strengthening of the ultra-nationalist right, with its insistence that the rest of the world is a bunch of Arab-loving anti-Semites and should be ignored.

I see I've created an embarassing monster with this thread. Y'all suck.

Cool. We'll be there at the same time.

The good thing is I'm a Chicagoan so therefore I'm not a jerk.


Israelis do have a reputation of being rude. It's more accurate to describe them as impatient, but impatience often leads to rudeness.

Why do you have to be mean?

In other news, Soviestan is driving me to support Israel even more than I did before.

I have so many friends who go to Isreal, I've always wanted to go...

sometimes Jews, Christians, Atheists, Hindus, Skiehs, Communists and Facists are terrorists.

Try not to spend any money or get blown up.

Also, watch out you don't get shot by the IDF or run over with a bulldozer.

I was in Israel this summer. Great time, except for getting caught in the north when Hizbollah decided to start shelling Israeli cities.

Well, have fun while you're there. If you take any good pictures, post them for us.

*wonders why this goddam thread won't die*

Anyway. I was in Jerusalem this summer, so I felt safe enough - it was even sort of fun when all the northerners started pouring in. I'd never seen the city so busy and alive. Did you stick around, or high-tail it to the centre?

Maybe I'll post pictures if there's anythig interesting, but judging from the abysmal standard of response to this ill-concieved thread, I don't know if I'll risk it.

I guess the Lebanese would also had wished a save place to go to back then...

We tailed it first to Zichron Yaakov, then to Jerusalem.

Holy shit, am I ever ridiculously happy right now.


YES!

Better watch out for "technical failures" on both Hizbollah's part and Isreal's part..

According to my new timeline, I am going to go to Israel for a week during the summer.

-edit- I guess this was a dug up thread.
