In other news, my parents are going on Holy Land tour this Christmas

… Despite me and my brother’s very vocal reservations. Recent accounts I’ve searched say the touristy parts of Jerusalem itself are fine. But still…. seeing this realtime map of missile hits and unrest within Israel is alarming.

One of which was in Bethlehem, about 5 miles away from Jerusalem.

On the off chance that someone who reads this lives in Israel, could you drop me a message in my ask box filling me in on their opinion of the area?
