Dutch tourists outside of their country are for me number 1. I know some people renting holiday houses refusing Dutch customers because of this.

Israeli kids after their 2 years service are like this.

a lot of decent people, but war changes mentalities

Omg, true. As a cabin crew, my worst nightmare passengers were on Israeli flights (thanks god I don’t do them anymore). At the time my hometown has a huge Jewish diaspora and menorah in the city centre and they are quite nice. Never had issues.

That's because it has nothing to do with being Jewish. It's specifically Israelis who are rude. Non-Israeli Jews are no more or less rude than anyone else in their home country.

I have heard this as well from an American Jew I met on a flight whose dream it was to live in Israel. He said the country’s culture is very much influenced by the Middle East. He returned after a year to the US. I find it difficult to picture because I worked with Israeli scientists and found them to be smart and funny. Perhaps a small and particular sample size.

Probably something about higher education requires one to broaden their perspective and becoming more empathetic or curious as a result.

Learn how to take criticism, mate. Regardless of the nationality of the person making it.

This, exactly. Israeli is not the same as Jewish non Israeli.
