Good read.

I have been to Israel 2 times on business travel in the past, both times about 3 weeks in length.
And even if we were working in a IT company with a bunch of people that most people would call "forward-thinking" there was one lunch one day when the discussion got into politics, I quickly found it better just to not bring up such issues, just not worth the hassle of having those discussions.

Now if you want to talk about experiences that truly changed me......in Tel Aviv right next to our hotel, there was this strip club 'The Pussy Cat Club'....highly recommend it :P
