I have never wanted to visit Israel as much as I did today

Today, I visited my friend in her dorm. I was there, chatting with her roommate, when I saw that they have an Israeli flag on their desk. I asked "how are you guys related to Israel?" They told me they were both Jewish and one of them was Israeli. I was thrilled and immediately started asking them how it is to live in Israel and etc. I told them that I have always wanted to visit Israel and they told me I'm welcome to visit anytime. I told them that I'm afraid of the conflict and they told me that Tel Aviv is completely safe. They showed me maps of Israel and which areas are safe to visit and which are not. They showed me pictures of the meals and food they eat there. The Israeli roommate told me that she misses Israel and that she was there for all of summer and that it's really great. They allowed me to touch their Israeli flag and they have each given me an Israeli flag. Now I have two Israeli flag sticks which I will plant them in my bedroom and I will be looking at them everyday until I have visited Israel to see it for myself.
