The rudeness and confrontational nature of Israelis is simply an observation based upon numerous anecdotes which happened on virtually a daily basis while there. They have nothing to do with the righteousness of their cause in Gaza...

I've removed diplomatic. He's with State though?

I was not referencing your Miss Manners experiences with the residents, but the point you made in the first sentence of the last paragraph in the post (808) I responded to and your pertinent preceding posts. With this in mind, please reread the first sentence, second paragraph in the post you quoted.
