[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your relatives are suffering from a sort of Dunning-Kruger Effect. The humble tourist who knows they know nothing would never go to Israel at this time. People with ties to the country who know everything are trying to avoid it right now. But people like your stupid relatives know just a little, that is, just enough to feel brave but not nearly enough to be wise.

OP here. First, thank you to all who posted their reactions to my OP. Between my brother and I, I have always been the cautious, risk-averse one so I was not sure if this was yet one more situation where his and my approach are just going to differ. But to read that so many others would not travel there right now is very helpful as I realize that this trip of brother's is misguided.

While I had to google what the Dunning-Kruger effect is, I do think there is a bit of this going on with my brother and SIL. They do fancy themselves "experienced" travelers and feel strongly about Israel especially. That said and to be fair, they did have tickets and plans made for months now to go there this July, so this is not an impulsive trip. Thank you again for your posts.[/quote]
