US Expat Life in Israel?

17 years ago

Hello;

I have thought about working and living in Israel and would appreciate any comments, suggestions or general input on what it is like as a Christian to live there? Are there any special problems or social issues in Israel if you aren't European looking?

I have lived and worked in the Middle East on several occasions before without any problems at all. However, with all the news about Israel, I do have some concerns about general everyday safety and security there. Is it safe to drive about the country side and explore the sights? Are there areas where an American expat family just shouldn't go?

Some forum posters have made some comments about the rudeness in Israel and does this apply to everyone there or just the city folks? or just the...? And is this rudeness extended to expat children and teenagers who would be trying to make a go of it in a new school in a different locale?

Any Tips & Tricks about moving to and living in Israel would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for your help.
