I didn't say anything about Jews. I said Israelis. Why don't you fly over to Israel this year and spend 3-4 weeks there and get back with me when you return. I find it somewhat disconcerting when a restaurant waiter or a hotel clerk argues with you about your choice of meal or room. You may find it charming.
Commenting on the relative hospitality of a country and its people says nothing about other aspects of the country. Turkey's people are incredibly gracious, yet Erdogan is a prick. Several friends have been to Iran and were surprised about the hospitality and friendliness there, despite how fucked up their government is. People in rural parts of the Deep South are among the friendliest anywhere in this country. That doesn't make me want to live there though.
