I was there 5 weeks. I had a good time.
I had prejudices, mostly blown up. A few tempered from iron to titanium steel.
The place is horribly expensive . For an American it is sticker shock every day. There are some things that are cheaper, busses and trains. But most things are just way to much.
Jews are mostly vegetarian, mostly . There is small amounts of meat compared to American stores. There are lots of fruit and vegetables stores , very few meat stores. I think this is both a factor of high price and preferences.
People in Tel Aviv are mostly secular, when they have a religious preference, they seem to prefer the more stringent style.
There are religious , sort of proselytizing Jews around . They have the straps and cloth, but they mostly just have them for those who want them, they don't preach.
For me, I am more pro Israel in most ways. I don't like the way they do others.
I met some Palestinian folks. They didn't convert me at all, quite the reverse . In Hebron especially . He tried, and there were some very intense conversation , but the Israeli attitude was more convincing .
I did like it there. I would advise to do the same. I lived in hostels I ate mostly fruit. I did lots of walking around. I didn't see everything by a long shot, but I did see quite a few things .
I do think if you are going to have an opinion , you should have some personal facts.
