Are there that many illiterate people who missed the "Travel" heading for this topic?

    Unofrtunately , this is happen in almost every section.

    When a country has not its own Y!Answers section, then the whole question ,political or travel, end up in the travel section.

    I am regular and top contributor in Greece's travel section, and most of the questions are NOT travel.

    They may are politics, food, music, (travel), tv, everything related to Greece..

    It's not about being illiterate.Its about finding the answers you are looking for.

    f.e.If anyone asks lyrics for a Greek song, in music section, he is not going to take any answer.No Greek user is hanging around music section. While if he asks this in the travel, he ll get the answer he is looking for.

    Israel happen to have some conflicts with its neighbors so, obviously the politics related questions,are a little bit more than it should.

    Simple simon.

    There are many Jews left in Greece.

    There is a Jewish community which is very active and very protected.

    Just to let you know, that my island (my hometown) , is one of the few (if not the only) places that every-single-Jew survived...(And yes, my granparents, hide one of them)

    So yes, allthough they are few, there is still a community in Greece.

    Good question and I've wondered about that too;the problem is that even if a poster is banned then all they do is come back with a new identity and start all over again.

    As another poster (Dandyl I think) said this section needs monitoring.

    It's a sad day when a person gets a thumbs down for speaking the truth.

    It looks to me that you are new to the site.

    Arabs said openly not once that they consider that Palestinians site and will not allow any questions about Israeli travel.

    Pay attention, how many "Greeks" on this site?

    One of them, "The just another greek guy" once threatened to deport all Jews from Greece, because of Israel War c Crimes....

    This "greek" did not know that No Jews left in Greece after WW2...

    Of course. all this would not happen without United Kingdom YA branch which is responsible for monitoring this section.

    my experience is that on Weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) Muslim take over UK YA branch.

    I don't think it is illiteracy. It is more like people are choosing to ignore the word "travel". But once in a while a legit travel question does pop up.

    Safety is number one when it comes to traveling.

    I was just wandering around, and somehow I stumbled upon this Q.

    Travel you say?

    Cheers!....I'll be on way.

  • Yes, but remember nobody thinks that it's safe to visit or travel to Israel.

    They have a very high rate of human rights abuse records.

  • Nobody's stopin no one from coming here and askin any kind of questions son!

    Whats wrong with you jew folks?

    Were just tryin to help you guys out to see whats right and whats wrong.

    Personally for myself, it only takes that all of you would publicly admit that you screwed up everythang when your forefathers killed Jesus.

    I am not asking you to convert or anythang. Just say youre sorry and you'll do your best to be good little people from now on.

    That's all.
