adi   (02.02.09)

7. Go to Eilat this year.
Efi ,   Miami Beach   (02.02.09)
Spain,Greece,Turkey = ALL blacklisted. Let them eat their greasy Kebab alone.
8. Pesach:when Jews the world over say "next yr in Jerusalem"
(02.02.09)
9. Thank you
i ,   jerusalem   (02.02.09)
for a fascinating view of secular Israel, and of the Electric Mafia. Next time I pay the electric bill, I will think of the poor IEA nebachs and their ruined vacation plans. How bothersome.
10. I am in US and say next year in Jerusalem, I hope.. stay
David ,   Boston, USA   (02.02.09)
Why dont Israeli's stay and go to Eilat? I understand it might be a little more expensive, but it supports Israeli economy. Dont go to Eurabia or Turkey. Dont support countries that dont support Israel. Boycott those nations. I would say come to the US, but I know its along flight. Florida beaches are wonderful. Hawaii even better. I stay in North America or Israel. Why go anywhere else?
11. How about Gaza beaches by the Mediterranean?
(02.02.09)
12. Please do not come Turkey(Non-Zionist jews welcomed)
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (02.02.09)
This is valid for only zionists, Anti-zionists jews can always come in Turkey!
13. Shalom from Rome
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (02.02.09)
Come to Rome - the most important city on Earth for Jewish history after Yerushalayim. Italy has been called "Israel's best friend" by the Israeli gov't for the last 8 years. You can actually walk around here with a kippa and tzitzit without any problems, unlike some other Euro cities. Also, the food, the wine, the museums and the nightlife are great here! www.romeforjews.com has some great info on their site - Ciao, chaverim!
14. Try Croatia / Montenegro
Elly ,   Vienna, Austria   (02.03.09)
Nice places in Croatia; Hvar, Bol, Dubrovnik and Montenegro. Madeira (far), Malta too. However Malta a lot of antisemitism.
15. Most people hate us. Maybe Goa, Seychelles
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (02.03.09)
Let's face the facts. Most people hate us. Maybe Goa but the terrorists are looking for us in India. Better to stay in Israel.
16. #12 Hey Turkey
Ron ,   USA   (02.03.09)
35,000 visitors is a chunk of revenue Turkey will lose because of hostility toward Israel. That doesn't include other westerners who now see Turkey as an Islamic state that bows down to Iran. Ouch!
17. people of israel discover your beautiful country
jason ,   israel   (02.03.09)
the expression "grass is greener on the other side of the hill" has us blinded! tell your comp HR to stop being silly and discover the amazing trips that can be put together throughout israel, including eilat, galil, mizpe ramon, etc. how about organizing a bike and hike tour through the jerusalem forest? if you must see beach eilat is perfect.
18. vacation
Leonard ,   LA usa   (02.03.09)
It's a wonderful time to relax and forget . Your government tells you to stay out of countries with high Muslim population. America is good but it's far.Athens? Roma. or Israel which is where I want to go.
19. so long as jewish schoolchildren
jason ,   israel   (02.03.09)
are afraid to go to school in turkey or anywhere else for that matter, israeli tourist dollars stay home!
20. us jews better keep in Jerusalem to keep memories
amymarkell ,   usa   (02.03.09)
we never know who is gonna be ruling Jerusalem in the coming future. why not stay at home and appreciate all that is there in our own land?! someone once told me. nothing is forever. Not even the USA. well perhaps we should all give some thought to this idea
21. I would not go to Spain or any other country who wants us
birdy ,   citizen of the world   (02.03.09)
dead. Why on earth would anyone go to a vacation spot when terrorists are just itching to find some jews on holiday to do in? What is wrong with you people outthere who think it is funny to go to a place where were are not safe and those governments can not insure our safety? I mean, have i missed something here for the last year about jews being on alert or something? Spain? are you kidding me? Venezsuala? I don think so...
22. Pretty please stay in israel.
Observer ,   World   (02.03.09)
23. Two things everybody agrees with,
Anyone ,   Anywhere   (02.03.09)
Politicians are all crooks, and Israelis should stay in Israel.
24. What about Helsinki?
Vinny   (02.03.09)
It's terrific if you don't want too much excitement AND you want to see every place Sibelius ever slept or composed. The apartment architecture is also really cool - makes you want to raze all the Israeli ticky-tacky houses and build some proper housing.
25. Remember the good old days when we
Dreamer ,   Holidays   (02.03.09)
could all go to Afghanistan for a puff. Will we ever be free again?
26. Finland, no,no,no please...
Kaarina ,   Helsinki   (02.03.09)
27. One time to support Israeli businesses
Mea   (02.03.09)
Rediscover your own country by staying home and spending the savings by checking into an Israeli owned hotel and dining out in TA or wherever. Take the balance of your savings and buy some Israeli art, or a fabulous outfit you always wanted...Spend it in Israel and help send the message that Israelis aren't friars.
28. From Iran with love!
Asfahani ,   Iran   (02.03.09)
How about Jordan, where the hypocrite bedouins can welcome you in their tents?
29. #26
(02.04.09)
finland? whatever for? what is in finland that would attract any tourist around the world??? be it israeli or european. i have never visited there and we europeans do not even know where it is on the map. so, please....another destination, but most definitely not finland. it has zero to offer to any tourist.
30. #26 Kaarina. Another obsessed moron
Joo ,   Eurabia   (02.03.09)
Hate Jews, but cannot live without Jewish press.
