  • Israel Travel Guide You Are Reading Is a Greatly Expanded Version of One I First Prepared for an American Friend Some Two Decades Ago
    ISRAEL: A PERSONAL TRAVEL GUIDE By Douglas E. Duckett Cincinnati, Ohio, USA [email protected] ©2004-2016 Douglas E. Duckett All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION. The Israel travel guide you are reading is a greatly expanded version of one I first prepared for an American friend some two decades ago. In it, I have tried to share my experiences and knowledge of Israel based on a lifetime of study and fifteen visits to the country, most recently in May 2016. I enjoy independent travel, and this guide was written primarily with such travelers in mind, though I hope the information will be helpful to those on group tours as well. As an American, I have produced a guide that, no doubt, reflects that identify and experience. I hope my readers from other countries will forgive that, and still find useful information to help plan their trips. I am not in the travel industry. Rather, I am a labor lawyer who loves Israel passionately and wants to encourage others to travel there and experience this wonderful land. My first visit was in November 1988, and I caught the bug; thus I started visiting every other year or so thereafter, except for 2000-2004, the truly terrible years of the second Palestinian uprising and the terror bombings in Israel cities. Now, with partial retirement, I am going every year (God willing!). Even with the mostly peaceful conditions prevailing since then, some friends still asked, “are you sure you want to go back to Israel?” Of course, recent tensions in Jerusalem, with a wave of stabbing attacks on Israelis, have further increased those anxieties, even for me to some degree.

    1 Two Colleagues in Conversation Sidney Bolkosky and Ronald R. Stockton Published by Mardigian Library University of Michigan-Dearborn Printed by Inland Press Detroit, Michigan Copyright by Ronald R. Stockton 2008 ISBN 978-0-933961-11-1 There are 250 copies of this book This is copy number 2 Two Colleagues in Conversation In the summer of 2007, Ron Stockton was in a used bookstore and saw a book by Francois Mitterand, President of France, and Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust scholar. Mitterand had asked Wiesel to interview him as his Presidency was coming to an end. With two such egos, the project inevitably evolved from an interview into a dialogue. It was published as a joint memoir. Ron was taken by this project and decided that he and his colleague Sid Bolkosky could produce something similar. As Ron said to Sid, “We have been around since the campus was young. There are no two faculty who are more different in their backgrounds than you and I are. We both have high visibility off campus, and both of us are dinosaurs. When we leave they will not replace us with people like ourselves.” Sid and Ron have been at the University of Michigan-Dearborn for over three decades. Sid arrived in 1972, Ron in 1973. Sid is a historian specializing in modern German History and the Holocaust. Ron is a Political Scientist who specializes in comparative non-western politics, especially ethnic conflict, political change, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He is trained in survey research. Both teach to full classes and are considered unique professors by their students.
