Is Israel a good place to live in? What's it like there?

I just realized I have no knowledge of that country besides what its flag looks like and that the jewish people come from there.

The military service is obligatory and considering its location, it wouldn't be a good idea to live there.

Israelis and Palestinians are similar. There are good people on both sides. But extremists are louder and more action driven than the moderate. Racism exist in both sides.

I didn't like it there.
@Mirammilitary service is obligatory in many countries of the world

@Miram Would it be dangerous to visit? do they have terrorist bombings there too? do u know?
@Dan193 Dan , the media exaggerates , like it does about everything.

There are attacks in Jerusalem and even in Tel-Aviv. But they aren't as frequent as in Arab countries.

It's safe for you to be in some places in Israel if you are a westerner.

I think it was about two years when an American was kidnapped and burnt alive there? But that's because he was a Muslim.

I was in Israel durring summerbreak, fifth year medical school with the MSF. I can't remember the year 😕. Maybe five years ago.

I know that military service is obligatory in many countries. But I won't let a sibling of mine grow up in such places. I already have one brother in special forces, counter terrorism unit. I worry for him every day.

I also lost a sister in a terrorist attack and other relatives.

No way I will ever let it happen again.

@Miram damn burnt alive. Scary. I would for sure like to visit that country one day, but I think I'll just wait until the dust settles down.

@Miram My deepest condolences. It’s terrible to hear about your loss. I hope they found peace.

@Dan193

Thank you for the compassion and the kind words ❤

I hope so too.
@Miram it is so sad when innocent people are harmed or killed by war or by terror.
May your family know only peace and quiet.
