Yeah its perfectly acceptable and safe to do so, as you can read in the FAQ. Palestinians (I am one) have nothing against Jews

I believe that you don't have anything against jews. not sure you can just generalize across the board though. And this applies jews -> palestinians and palestinians -> jews.

"Avoid wearing outward signs of support for Israel (and, if possible, symbols of Judaism) inside Palestinian areas as you may be mistaken for a Settler intending harm" So you are saying it's not safe for a Jew to come. As wearing a kippah can lead to altercations.

  Well they also say “Avoid wearing outward signs of support for Palestinians (kaffiyah, slogan t-shirts, etc.) and/or Islam in Settler-controlled areas in the West Bank” Takes 2 to tango right?

    Whataboutism doesn't really change the answer to the question... Edit: considered not responding more, but since this seems like a possible safety issue: having spent many years living in the region (and with family who still live there), if you're an openly practicing Jew you should not spend extended amounts of time in the West Bank or Gaza unless you're willing to risk your life for your cause. A day trip is probably fine.

      > Whataboutism doesn't really change the answer to the question... I'll take that. I think it was a bit of an uneccessary thing to point out when the website tries to be neutral about the issue and just tries to do something good. Don't get me wrong, if I am ever in the middle east, I'm not stepping out of Israel.

  As much as wearing a kyffeia in any jewish neighborood can lead to some friendly 5vs1 improptu meetup in a dark alley with some of the local "security" (Rome ghetto would be an excellent example).

    i'm not sure where you've been in israel but i've stayed in tel aviv and jerusalem a few times, and there are muslims absolutely everywhere from all ages and looks... Maybe kyffeia is something different because it carries an image of violence, and not just political fight ? Much like wearing a nikab should be fine in most if the US , but carrying an al quaeda flag in new york wouldn't probably be a good idea..

That's cute, considering that the first thing you did when we left Gaza was elect Hamas as your government (and even if you claim their subsequent strength is through force- ranks are filled from local militia and the common people.) Here's a quote from the official charter[1]: "The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews." (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem)" Honestly, it's not even worth debating. The "palestinian" hatred of Jews and Israel has been proven time and time again through war when you can afford it and terrorist attacks when you can't. You even have _children's programs_ pushing the hatred in the most disgusting way possible[2]. That's not even getting into politics (Arafat was born in Egypt) nor religion (so we have no right to practice Torah - which has specific laws about governing Israel). I'm not pissed because you hate us. I'm pissed because places like California are so obsessed with equality and liberalism that they swallow BS like "Palestinians have nothing against Jews", simply because it fits into their worldview- despite it having no basis in reality (sadly enough). Shame on you HackerNews. You're smarter than this.

And here in France the pro-Palestinians groups are accused of increasing antisemitism... I remember that one group of Israeli student going to various universities to have discussions with French students was prevented to enter one niversity near Paris by a group of pro-Palestinian students.

  Sounds like activism to me. It is retarded and insulting to label every opposition to Israel "anti-semitic".

  And the situation is not help by French associations, like the CRIF, that label support of Palestine as antisemitism.

That i totally wrong. How many synagogue there is in Ramallah? How many jew with palestinian passport? I would be very ok to totally erase Israel State if palestinian and other arasb folks were not as antisemic as Hitler. But meanwhile I will support israel for being the only place arabs jew can be safe on earth.
