If you plan on using the public transportation (i.e. buses), it depends on whether there is a bus station near your house. Usually it's not a problem, and it should take 2-12 minutes (depending on the bus route and traffic) to get from Nes Ziona central bus station to Weizmann Institute (~3.5km). Check the Egged bus company website for details: http://www.egged.co.il/Eng/ You could also cycle, but mostly there are no bicycle paths...

the bus ride is nto too long it is how long you may have to wait for the bus and if you will find a seat, walk... much luck

Very happy you're moving to Israel!! :) Used to live in Rehovot and it is very close to Nes Tziyona.

Has the Israeli blockade of Gaza decreased attacks (such as missiles or bombs) on Israel from Hamas
Has the Israeli blockade of Gaza decreased attacks (such as missiles or bombs) on Israel from Hamas?
I realise the blockade has had many negative effects on the civilians of Gaza. On the other hand, has the blockade worked for Israel in that it decreased the number of attacks from Hamas or Gaza? (I realise that the blockade has increased diplomatic and international criticism against Israel, but that is not the question)

Yes it did. It also increased extremism and potential Hamas membership looking for revenge.
2 :
It decreased the armed raids into Israel and the suicide bombs drastically. It has also decreased the number of missiles fired into Israel.
3 :
I've read it reduced the number of attacks on Israel by 90%.
4 :
Well.. having a negative effect on terrorists is kind of the point of the whole blockade.
5 :
Hamas will always be shooting missles into Israel. But the media will NOT report on it! They are too "tingling" over the terrorists, they will make them look good.

Could Israel survive without the help of Palestinian workers.
Could Israel survive without the help of Palestinian workers.?
Thousands have to work in Israel because of the blockade there is no work for them in Gaza. Could this be one reason why Israel refuses to lift this illegal blockade.?

Israel cannot survive without the 20 billions of American dollars in 3rd world aid they get each year. If the Americans realize that it is wrong to trust the Jewish Lobby, peace will prevail in the Middle East and our Palestinian friends will have their land returned to them. Everyone would be happy. Almost everyone, that is. Greetings

actually yes. until 1967 no palestinians worked in israel, and after the first riots of 1987 israel stopped hiring palestinians almost completely. the palestinians are sorry for this, because they earned more money when they worked in israel than they earn now. John E. - i love your lies. the aid is actually less than 3 billion dollars per year, and most of it must be spent on american goods. so it is a mean for the american government to support american companies. another fact, the aid is about 3% of the total of the israeli budget.
5 :
Could a country of about 7 Million "survive" without "thousands?" You bet. Israel does not need them. Israel does not need US aid either, which constitutes a drop in the bucket of their GDP. The blockade was implemented when Hamas fired thousands of rockets at Israel. The blockade would be lifted if Hamas would stop attacking Israel and clearly seek peace. But, instead, they keep attacking and claiming their goal is to destroy all of Israel. Heck, on the eve of peace talks they killed Israeli civilians in two separate attacks.
6 :
No. Just as no Western country would survive without the "help" of cheap labor in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
7 :
The answer is opposite is the correct question. Could Arabs survive without Israel? One of the top priorities of Arafat agreement with Israel was Israeli permit to entry for Arab workers... As usual another Arab "question" is another Arab lie.
8 :
Gaza civilians are only trying to earn a living!! And Israeli people keep on condemning them as "terrorists".
9 :
100% especially because a lot (not all) of Palestinian workers sabotage their work. When they help build new homes Palestinian Workers sabotage the Plumbing pipes & the electrical wires inside the walls (by the time this is noticed the house is ready for sale). So The walls have to be torn down to rewire the electricity properly and to adjust the water pipes in the walls properly so they won't leak.
10 :
Yes they have plenty of unemployed Jewish workers in Israel
11 :
Could palestinian workers survive without Israel?
12 :
Without any problem. The workers from Asian countries are much better, more skilled , they agree to work for less money - and they do not commit the terrorist attacks. And will the "palestinians" survive if Israel stops hiring them?
13 :
Uh... you do realize that the number of Palestinian workers in Israel significantly dropped due to the second intifada. Israel was able to survive that, so they don't need the help of the Palestinians. So, not only am I saying that Israel has can survive without Palestinian workers, but they have shown that they can in the past with a significant drop in the number of Palestinian workers. The reason they don't lift the blockade is because they are still concerned about their safety.
14 :
israel won't survive long regardless prophecy tenakh testament of messiah jesus and the apostles
15 :
Sure! We'd grant more worker visas for Romanians and other Europeans or Chinese. Sorry to burst you bubble but the question should be..... Could Palestinians survive without jobs inside Israel?? When you see the hundreds waiting by the checkpoints for the chance of earning some real money you understand that this is a two way street. In fact, it might just be a chance for some peaceful meetings between Jews and Arabs. I know this is disappointing to you but it is the difference between reality and your warped world view.
16 :
It's not illegal it's necessary and they could probably do just fine without having to worry with it.

She should call the US embassy in the Phillipines. It might take a little bit of persistence depending on how helpful the staff is at that particular embassy, but they'll be able to give her the step-by-step on what she needs to get a work visa.
2 :
Only employers can apply for employment visas, and she does not have the necessary qualifications to meet visa requirements. She needs at least a bachelor's degree plus post-baccalaureate experience. Also, she needs a state license as a Certified Nurses Aide in many states now to perform in-home health care services, and she cannot sit the board exams unless she is a citizen or legal permanent resident. For nannies, there is the Au Pair Program. She would have to go through an authorized agency in the Philippines for screening and placement. She would be allowed into the US for a maximum of 1 year if she passed all of her screening tests and was hired in the US. Afraid I cannot recommend an au pair agency in Philippines -- the only ones I'm familiar with are in England and Sweden.
