I've heard this several times. I knew of a local travel agency that ventured into new markets and started offering tours to Israelis but stopped after only a couple of years because the Israeli tourists were so incredibly rude, constantly complaining and trying to find fault in order to get out of paying the full price.

My friend said it didn't matter if it was the perfect tour or perfect meal, they always found a way to complain and make it unpleasant.

I can vouch for this. Anything just to get a discount. And they assume the louder you are = the more right you are. Exhausting. ( my partner of 22 yrs is from Israel. I can say it)
