I know that many people worry about safety in Israel, especially when it comes to travellers. The intifada is basically over, as the Palestinians have many internal issues to work out, so their focus is more inside the Territories.
That said, I must admit that I have never ever had a problem with safety...both when I visited and after moving to this country years ago.
One thing I always explain to people is that when it comes to safety, in the States, I never, ever, ever went out alone at night because I was so worried about the random attacks on people. In Israel, I rarely ever even thought twice when going out alone.
Media makes Israel seem very unsafe, but in reality, it is probably 5 times safer than the States.
You will definitely fall in love with this tiny country!

It is safe to go to Israel at any time of the year. I am sure you will have a great time there, don't miss it.
Have fun!

Israel is a great country to visit at any time of year! Personally, I think it's best to visit during Spring or Autumn- when it's not too hot (but warm enough to go swimming in the Red/Mediterranean/Dead/Galilee Seas) and not to wet (from Winter rains). Israel is always safe, so I wouldn't let safety dictate the time you visit.

Its safe to travel, any time. Israel have many tourist attractions. This attractions is not near conflict areas and and all touristic areas is safe on the nights too.

did someone really say "weaponless" palestinian people? weaponless? I have no problem with people being pro-palestinian, but weaponless? That's not even close to truth. Everyone knows they have weapons, people just debate whether using them is just.
Anyway, Israel is a safe country. Come any time that works for you.
