I had bad and good experiences with people from all over the world. Does it matter where they are from?

come on, how childish. You people don't really believe that. I've been traveling all over and met all kind of people, from all over the world. I saw so many types of personalities - I met some awful French people and then I met the opposite, I met great people from Tunisia, even (and some very annoying..). And yes, I met some Israelis and most of them were amazing people. People are different from one another. What you're saying really reminds me people I met in my traveling that said American are stupid consumers and that American girls are sluts. I heard that a lot, and I didn't think it's true, right? I find it rude being racist.

Met a couple of people from Israel when I was in the Galapagos. They were very friendly and pleasant to spend a day with. Can't say anything bad about them...so I'm sure it is just bad luck on your part. I've never been to Israel though so can't comment on what it is like there.

I have met two Israelis people in Bolivia and they were very friendly.

2,5 months hiking in israel ,the only people i had some trouble with where youth on a campsite trying to intimidate me (11 people) and a orthodox jew but it whas in jerusalem on a holyday,he seen me taking pics in a orthodox area but i forgot ,like on shabat no cars,no mobiles,no cameras you now what i mean. but most of the time verry friendly,they offerd me some food from the barbeque and drinks .but you will find bad people everywhere on this planet.

Not a problem at all. Sorry didn't run into any problems there

I had good encounters and bad encounters with people of all kinds of nationalities. I don't think Israeli tourists are worse than others. Actually I'd say that the vast majority of Israelis I've met (and I've met many) were very friendly and easy going.

Part of this is just the Israeli way; they're known for being a little blunt, and this can sometimes come across as rudeness. As other people have mentioned, though, of course it varies greatly depending on the individual. I've really enjoyed the time I've spent with Israeli friends and relatives!

It depends on where you go I believe, I had never met an Israeli in my life until I went to India/Nepal and have never seen such obnoxious, aggresive behaviour from travelers. They are infamous in India actually for bad travelers, while everyone is getting on, Israelis will hang around in packs, give unfriendly glares at anyone not Israeli and generally treat the local Indian population in very poorly..actually it's quite common to see no israelis on signs in hotels now in India...nothing whatsoever to do with their religion, just awful to be around.

defenetely yes!!!! israelis are mostly very friendly and helpful! greetz

A strange question! Israelis come from all over the world. I have certainly met rude Egyptians and Dutch. I don't personally remember having a bad encounter with an Israeli, but I may have had..

It's like they don't have words for: Pleasee & Thank You in Israël the are very rude.

the nmost beutiful country

the nmost beutiful country

thnx for the feedback everyone. ^^ oh and it's "toda" in hebrew, lol, they do have words for thank you, they just never use it. xD

Custom control - very stressy experience :( Maybe there was something wrong with my Hebrew, but whenever I tried to thank or welcome anybody in this language there was a silence in reply. Directly oposite than in case of contact with Arabic language and Arab people. But the country, indeed, beautiful. There is still something mysterious in the air of the old town of Jerusalem/ Al Quds.
