A visit to Israel is probably not high on your list of tourism priorities at the moment, but should the situation calm down and the killings and fighting stop, here's one to consider: The Biblical Wildlife Reserve of Hai-Bar Yotvata.
The reserve's founding father was Avraham Yoffe -- ex-British army; ex-Hagana (the underground defense organization of the Jewish settlement in Palestine, from 1920-48) vigilante; ex-paratrooper with the Israeli army's Golani Brigade; former commanding officer of its 9th Brigade, which captured Sharm el Sheik and opened the Straits of Tiran; and ex-armored-division commander during the Six-Day War.
Definitely a man of war. But Yoffe also had a gentler streak.
