Far East Cynic

It is the Holy Land

So treat it with reverence!

Problems with Palestinians or no-I sure would like to go back  there.

 

I’ve been to Israel five times. Twice, I made the circuit of  driving the entire country-once as the guest of an Israeli Naval officer and once by myself ,  with some squadron mates at various times-I broke the trip up using  Haifa and Tel Aviv as staging bases of sorts. My operational HQ was here. Went to Masada, the West Bank ( with my Israeli friend and his trusty M-16), Sea of Galilee, Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jersualem, and Beersheba.

We used to  joke that there must be something in the water in Israel-lots of women with big breasts.

  1. My sister has been there and she, too, remarked on many beautiful women.
    Whats your opinion of Israelis?

  2. I have a love hate relationship with them. When I sponsored the Israeli student and his wife-it was both a lot of fun and very frustrating at the same time. He thought nothing of taking advantage of my time-if there was something in it for him. The courtesy never extended the other way though.

    I think Americans seem to think that Israel is Americans transplanted into the Levant-and nothing could be further from the truth. They are a unique culture and they ascribe to a lot of things Americans want nothing to do with-if we only knew it.

    Also, I would point out that there are more than a couple of Israeli spying incidents against the US.

  3. Thanks…. by the way, will you ever tell what the SO thinks about the US, the good and the bad (hopefully there is some good)
    What she expected and what she found?
