Probably as easy to get to London, Paris, etc from Israel as from Sarajevo. I will let the Israelis discuss the cosmopolitan aspects of life in Jer and Tel A (and yes, I realize Jer means the consulate and representation to the PA, not the embassy in TA) but I suspect in many ways it compares pretty well to Moscow (and you can STILL practice your Russian, of course)

Things have been going boom in Jerusalem a lot less since the seperation fence, IIUC, its probably as safe as most of the places you'd go.

As for learning Arabic, well obviously thats a hot language, and obviously whether you get assigned afterward to someplace relatively comfortable like Morocco, say, or to someplace in the middle of a civil war, I dont know.
