We were in Jerusalem for 6 days ( 3 side trips). On Sunday there were military everywhere on day passes. They had been told to wear their uniforms and weapons. never felt so secure.
Everyone sitting and standing around at the wall.
It was early May so not too hot.
Want to go again while I can still walk.
The tour guide who showed us Jerusalem lives along the West Bank, he offered to take us there for a tour, we were like NO THANKS LOL..but you notice throughout certain areas, they have electric fences(When I saw them I thought to myself, this is what we need at our southern border) Tel Aviv is beautiful too, went to the beach over there..nice shops, everyone is so friendly, you do see many Israeli Arabs around, they look at you funny but otherwise keep to themselves..you always know who the non Jews are when you are out and about on Shabbat and see people walking around..Religious Jews don’t work on the Sabbath so they replace those workers with either Israeli Arabs or at the local market we went to, they were Russian, I doubt they were Jewish
