   Could you give some examples of how they portray that ?

Pushing in front of queues, and not respecting anyone like the example in the OP.

Israelis do have mandatory service (with exceptions) for men, women, trans, and intersex but presumably some would serve non-potential combat roles depending on their particulars. They get a chunk of money after service so If you see on a budget groups of young Israelis in Thailand and other popular destinations, there's a very good chance they're taking their after service long holiday abroad. For many that's their last hurrah before going back to stressful full blown adulting. I wonder how that compares to Amish Rumpspringa. (Very wild times!)

Thanks for the perceptive comment.

 

I wonder how far back these bans in Phuket go? Military service in Israel has evolved from conventional warfare to controlling the Palestinian population in the West Bank. As settlements have constantly expanded since Netanyahu's first term (1996), the repression and impunity has increased. The bad behavior in Mae Hong Son may well be explained by a distrustful attitude toward the "other".

 

As for Amish, they are peaceful people. My mother's thinking was much influenced by the neighbor, a Mennonite bishop.

Can you provide a link to that claim that Israeli military service has now evolved? Its possible some do go to the West Bank. What makes you think they all do, and why do you think these 4 in particular did?

  Considering your behaviour, its understandable that they have no respect for you .

   The are are plenty of people who queue jump , actually,  its mainly UK influenced countries that do not queue jump , all the others seem to

Arrogant Israelis behaving as if they are in the West Bank or Gaza. Everybody hates them.

Incorrect, Trump loves them.

Most Israeli tourists or residents always seem to portray an air of superiority or entitlement.

They're not going to be apologizing to you for breathing.

Maybe they were Russians. Lots of Israelis are.

He loves the support of Christian evangelicals who need Israel to still exist to fulfill their apocalyptic prophesies which includes the damnation of all Jews. With "friends" like that, who needs enemies?

So much negativity about Israelis here.

There is a lot more to Israel and Israelis than horrible acting tourists.
