Israel
The Seldom Killer:
Israel is an incredibly politicised nation so it's unlikely that you'll be able to totally avoid politics on your visit there.
If I were in your position I wouldn't want to just see the "cool old stuff" but to try and gain a better understanding of life in what is ostensibly still a new and emerging nation and how that is inextricably linked with the interrelationship with the life with the indigenous people. To me the sociological and anthropological aspect of the modern Israel is fascinating as so how it came about, functions and propagates particularly considering the parallels and differences from similar events in history. Whatever your position is, I'm hoping you won't completely avoid the political aspect of life there. I'd love a similar opportunity to witness it first hand.
On a side note, despite being non-alcoholic, beer from the Taybeh Brewery is damn tasty. Grab a bottle of you can. The light is better than the dark but both are worth a shot if any make it to the Israeli side of the wall.
Method of Madness:
I'm going with a tour group through the Birthright program, the itinerary is out of my hands and I'm not allowed to go off on my own.
Method of Madness:
I'll definitely try it! I love finding new beers!
Method of Madness:
Leaving tomorrow! I'll be on here and there if the places I stay have wifi (I really hope they do, it's the only way I'll be able to call home).
Carl-E:
Have a good trip! Don't be a stranger!
