It is very nice to offere Israelis a way to connect with their country. I would caution anyone visiting or wanting to visit the Umm al-Famh Museum of Art. Don't forget the riots last week because of the inciteful act of a group of Jews trying to carry an ISRAELI FLAG in that city. I mean--if your car has a flag on it--or a Hebrew bumper sticker or if you say the wrong thing and are overheard ( I dont know what is in the museum but if there is work by Arab artists and you dare dislike a piece, you may be putting yourself in grave danger!! ON the other hand I am sure Israeli Arabs will be freely strolling all over Israel.

Ellen, you said it exactly right!
