I am an Israeli AMA

Well, after some AMA posts I think it is time for me to make this one.
Usually I avoid talking about politics but I am ready to give it a try, I know this post will lead to it.

Disclaimer - I am not a typical Israeli, but still wanted to make this post.

Good guess, 94. I would have guessed Cali or somewhere like that too. I meant where is it based but said founded for some reason, founded in Washington State but based in Seattle (Starbucks!)

Akko. I grew up there, it is a mixed town of Jews and Arabs, we all live in peace there. Seriously, it shows the best that it is possible.

How do you avoid mandatory service, other than medical reasons?

And, as far as I'm aware, you get tuition fees for uni paid if you serve, right? What if you join after getting a degree? Would they pay that off too?
