A recent email from a relative:

Hi Sophia -

The NY Times, today, published a photo on their front page of a bombed bus with a dead child leaning out the window. Of course, there was no counterpart photo of a Palestinian dead child. I expect that this picture (worth a thousand words) will have everyone all riled up, incl. (already) Americans. I would expect that the Israelis will be pretty nasty for the next several weeks. Any confrontation with them in which you are involved will, in my estimation, be highly dangerous.

So, prudence being not your middle name, you will go ahead and do it anyway. Good luck.
