I imagine it would be wise to avoid using it on the street at least... a bunch of English blokes bellowing Yids will, I would have thought, offend at least a few Israelis.. but then again, I don't live there... maybe one of our Israeli members could help out?

My Sister who is out there on holiday at the moment (she lived there for 2 years when she was 18) reckons most have no idea what 'yid' means. Plus none of my Israeli cousins, uncles and aunts over there are aware if that word either! Only European Jews would know the true meaning as it's a yiddish term. If a group of English blokes were bellowing yids in Down Town Tel Aviv i doubt if many locals would understand what it meant let alone find it offensive....but like you say, maybe an Israeli member could help clear this up?

The president of Getafe has stated that he wants the team to focus on league form (they're struggling) and will put out youngsters against Tottenham if they don't get a fine result at the weekend against Murcia.

We're playing Newcastle on Monday and if this is true, we should rest some of the players that were on international duty

Relax you guys. You're traveling Tel Aviv which is probably the most agnostic, non-religious city in Israel.
I assume the Hassidic bloke was quite intimidated as most of them are familiar with Yiddish but no one speaks this obsolete language in Israel except for them. It probably sounded to him like an insult but believe me it wouldn't matter anyone if you chant anything containing the word YID in Tel Aviv. Most of the Israelis are speaking English and you should have no language problem, but obviously half the people you are going to meet won't be very fluent. Tel Aviv is very "free spirit" and has lots of parties and activities 24/7. Fear not, you're not entering a fundamental location. You'll love the city, it's very fun.
