Got a bit of a dilemma
being asked to go out and work in Israel within the next two weeks if not sooner.
With the current situations around that area would you recommend it or avoid it?

The fact your asking for opinions, you know its on top over there id say dont tempt fate.
Man up.
For factual information though - https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/israel
Had to work there for a month about 10 years ago. My company provided constant protection and due to that I had no fears at all. All depends on your circumstances mate.
I found the Jews a pleasant bunch and my visit disproved much of the media bullshit tbh. Hope you like Hummus .
I previously worked for a company in tel-aviv. We were always informed that essential travel only.
I never got the opportunity to go but my managers who did go had to stay on site for security issues, as in sleep and eat.
I hope the money is good.. Make sure you get your life insurance in order and a will if required.
That sentence there would put me right off going, best of luck.Quote:

It is a deeply unpleasant, militaristic country with very far right politics, however I have no problems with Israelis themselves.
They killed your god dude.Quote:

It was the Jews and the Romans, but as the story goes the Romans were very reluctant to do it as they did not regard Jesus as a criminal.Quote:

Roman soldiers drove the nails into His hands and feet, Roman troops erected the cross and a Roman solider pierced His side (Matthew 27:27-35).
The people of Israel were also complicit in the death of Jesus. They were the ones who shouted, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” as He stood on trial before Pilate (Luke 23:21). They also cried for the thief Barabbas to be released instead of Jesus (Matthew 27:21). Peter confirmed this in Acts 2:22-23 when he told the men of Israel “you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified and put to death” Jesus of Nazareth. In fact the murder of Jesus was a conspiracy involving Rome, Herod, the Jewish leaders and the people of Israel, a diverse group of people who never worked together on anything before or since, but who came together this one time to plot and carry out the unthinkable – the murder of the son of God.
I have worked there and never had any problems.
