No, I haven't, and I don't intend to go either. Israel is way, way down on the list of countries I intend to visit, somewhere below Afghanistan and Iraq, and in the neighborhood of Congo and Zimbabwe.

I have ejjklesia, several times. Once one gets outside of the "ministry of propaganda" tours and sees the real situation in Israel, it turns one's stomach.

It is not for nothing that 15% of israel's jewish population has already abandoned the country as a failure. Or that a majority of the rest are desperate to get a passport in some other country. Here is a young israeli jew that states it well.

Israel 2007: worse than apartheid

.... We are leaving through Tel Aviv airport and the Israeli official catches my accent. "Are you South African?' he asks in an unmistakable Gauteng accent. The young man left Benoni as a child in 1985. "How's Israel?" I ask. "This is a f**ked-up place," he laughs, "I'm leaving for Australia soon."

"Down under?" I think. I've just been, like Alice, down under into a surreal world that is infinitely worse than apartheid. ....

Woman beaten on J'lem bus for refusing to move to rear seat

A woman who reported a vicious attack by an ad-hoc "modesty patrol" on a Jerusalem bus last month is now lining up support for her case ...

... In her first interview since the incident, Shear says that on the bus three weeks ago, she was slapped, kicked, punched and pushed by a group of men who demanded that she sit in the back of the bus with the other women....

... According to Yehoshua Meyer, the eyewitness to the incident, Shear's account is entirely accurate. "I saw everything," he said. "Someone got on the bus and demanded that she go to the back, but she didn't agree. She was badly beaten and her whole body sustained hits and kicks. She tried to fight back and no one would help her. I tried to help, but someone was stopping me from getting up. My phone's battery was dead, so I couldn't call the police. I yelled for the bus driver to stop. He stopped once, but he didn't do anything. When we finally got to the Kotel [Western Wall], she was beaten badly and I helped her go to the police."....
