dan-
sounds like you've got a good approach. below are some websites of folks with
whom i've had actual involvement.

my best advice is to stay clear of prejudice and generalizing, using your
powers of observations rather than prejudging from what you've been told
second-hand by angry non-locals.

to protect your physical safety, remember that violence is more likely to
come from CAR ACCIDENTS than anything else, although that's not often covered
by cnn, bbc, or fox because it isn't as good for ratings or their advertising
income. buckle your seatbelt and don't drive with the impaired.

also, everyone i met there is familiar to the phrase "thanks be to G-d" since
it's used universally in both hebrew and arabic (as in the interchange: 'how
you doin?', 'thanks be to G-d, i feel great.')... but if you say it in
ENGLISH, and mean it, you'll get bonus respect from any other language
speaker because you're not just saying it mechanically as many in their
community do, and helps remind others of their own blessings. non-jaded
'virgins' get a lot of respect.

finally, please share the word i developed while there to be shared in all
languages, merging arabic 'salaam' with hebrew 'shalom' (both meaning peace):

SHALAAM (it's for everyone)
