Forewarned is forearmed, perhaps not to come. Anyone visiting "Somalia, Afghanistan, Algeria, Chechnya or Sudan, or merely to go on a safari, knows what" to bring, wear, say, go, and not go.
Israel once welcomed visitors hospitably. "But when it grew fat and expanded its living space," it decided who can come, who can't, what's permitted, what's not, and what to expect from a nation mindless of international standards by enforcing its own.
"This is how Israel is turning itself into an enclave of nationalist fundamentalism in which the covenant between its citizens (the Jewish ones, of course) is not based on equality or shared values but on the ceaseless marking of its borders with the outside world."
"This is an enclave which (feeds on alleged) threat(s)...." It thrives on them. It provides pretexts for challenging anyone for any reason or none at all. Those believing sovereign Palestine is justified and presents no threat pose "existential danger" enough to get "whacked in the face," whether he's Danish, Palestinian, Israeli, or any one else.
Come at your own risk. Human rights activists beware. Israel's a jungle, a wild nature preserve. Step out of line and get eaten alive or at least see an M16 close up enough to know it's dangerous without being fired.
