I have been to Israel three times and I never had any problems. The only place I saw some troubles was in Hebron, and Rachel's Tomb near Bethlehem where there were some kids throwing stones at soldiers. Both are in the Westbank, so not really Israel, and it's not common for most tourists to go to those places. You can most likely go to Bethlehem, just double check that there are no problems before you go. Hebron...well, go at your own risk.

Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa, Dead Sea, Masada, Tiberias and Sea of Galilee, Eilat, etc. no problem. Terrorism is very unlikely to affect you at all. Only the precautions (security checks etc.) will affect you.
