Would you travel to Israel this summer?

Wondering what people think.

Nope.

If you can get there, definitely yes. Life is basically back to normal there (I have lots of friends/family there so I see and hear all about it)

+1. I’d love to spend the summer in Tel Aviv.

Sure, if you are cool with supporting an apartheid state.

I think spring is a better time to visit—not as hot.

They have been really strong about Covid vaccination.

Watch Transparent first, especially the last season where they go to Israel.

I’ve heard the beaches in Tel Aviv are beautiful.

Nope. We will never go there until the Israelis change their practices and they start valuing all human life, especially those of another ethnicity or race. I am dying to see Jerusalem, Nazareth and basically all of Israel but I refuse, absolutely refuse, to support the Israeli policy regarding Palestinians and the Gaza Strip. The Israelis are treating the Palestinians disgracefully. And I say this as someone whose family narrowly escaped the gas chambers in Germany in the 1930s.

Absolutely agree with this. I have traveled throughout Israel in the past but would not go back now.

Unless you happen to be from Palestine or the West Bank.

As of now they are not allowing any international travelers. Says so on the consulate website - I even mailed because we wanted to plan a trip as well (we are all vaccinated).

The answer is no, unless you are doing an organized tour with one of those come to Israel companies (which we do not intend to do).

If I had family or friends that I was visiting, yes. On my own or with a tour group? No.

Absolutely! It’s a beautiful, fascinating country and one of the most Covid-safe places on the planet right now.
