Hell, Israelis themselves jokingly say that arguing is their national sport.

Despite my views on Israeli hospitality, I never hesitate to friends and family that they visit there. Just be prepared for less than gracious treatment by the locals. I suppose you realize that New Yorkers and Parisians have less than stellar reputations when it comes to friendliness and hospitality too. That doesn't stop me for a minute from going to either city.

What a nice post finn. Now we can be friends again...because finn, if I thought we weren't friends, I just don't think I could bear it.

Meantime...I'll watch out for those ungracious Jews...although I'm sure it doesn't matter if I run into them in Tel Aviv or Brooklyn. Between you and me, I don't notice much difference between people from NY and people from New Jersey (or Philly), or people from Paris and people from Nice. So maybe we oughta assume, from your personal expertise that it's just the French and the urban easterners and the Jews, etc. Too bad for the rest of us if it's a NY-Jew though. Now there's a bad combination, eh finn?

Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
With some smart-ass New York Jew
The Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
The audience laughed at Lester Maddox too.
