With all due respect to Jerusalem, this has never been it's description. This, hopefully, shows a side that doesn't come across from the constant bad news. It shows normal, vibrant living!

The real tourists to Israel are those that have a conviction towards Israel - and do appreciate Jerusalem, are not bizarre like the "mutton trying to be lamb" Maddonna, and were the base that elected Prez. Bush even though American Jews generally continue to vote for those that are not the friendliest towards Israel.

Manta Ray is my favorite Tel Aviv restaurant for its food, service, and ambience: don't knock it 'til you've tried it. Get real: Jerusalem is not the Israeli city of choice for foodies. Comparing the two cities as tourist venues is like comparing the seaside to the mountains: futile. Ideally, a first-time tourist would sample both. Madonna, Shmadonna.
