61. #59 Cynthy baby
Marco ,   Spain world champs   (07.20.10)
Cynthy baby when you say "If you blindly hate us, then it is you who has the problem." What do you mean by us? You being a zionist jew or you being American?
62. Teens
Amanda   (07.20.10)
Put them in the IDF and let them learn what crazy really is
63. #22 - get over yourself, Josh. American tourists too
William ,   Israel   (07.20.10)
Go travel around the world and see the smugness of tourists and how they treat locals. This has nothing to do with Israel and its leadership, but your comment does seem to be tied directly to pre-conceived notions and hatred. Americans are asses in other countries, especially Mexico. The Germans are very demanding and rude in the Canaries. UK youth are like traveling hooligans getting drunk and starting fights in Ibiza and Mallorca. Etc. Etc. This is nothing new and I'm ashamed at the action of these teens, but it has 100% to do with their asshole parents and nothing to do with Israeli culture.
64. Typical behavior for racists above the law

65. So, how do they ruin a stack of towels
michael mazur ,   brunswick australia   (07.20.10)
- too disgusting to print ?
66. Vandals,...
split ,   USA   (07.21.10)
Not the first time and not only in Greece - An israeli youth visiting Aushwitz behaves even worst demolishing furniture, destroying carpets, making a out of bathroom sinks in Cracow's hotels ,...
67. Why not do as in eastern europe?
Mike ,   Vilnius   (07.21.10)
When they reserve the rooms, they get the "usual" room, but with cheaper furniture. When stuff gets broken, charge 100 euro for a formerly "free" soviet-era chair. We can already anticipate the trouble, and plan accordingly. You can't leave the country while owing money!
68. In Vinas Veritas... (end)
Evan Sawyer ,   Outremont, Canada   (07.21.10)
69. israel drunk
Peter ,   montreal   (07.21.10)
according to you it is never the israeli's fault... you guys are angels right? of course other cultures do stupid things too , but this time on 3 occassion they were kicked out... 3 different hotels...what??that does not tell you something... they were misbehaving so what?? get over it
70. israel drunken youths
Peter ,   Montreal   (07.21.10)
i totally agree with you my friend
71. drunken kids
Peter ,   Montreal   (07.21.10)
i totally agree with you! it is the parent's fault , teach your kids how to behave...
72. #63 is correct!
LDR ,   Toronto Canada   (07.21.10)
It truly has nothing to do with Religion/Culture whatever. I personally have lived in Greece (Crete) for many years and have witnessed kids from all over Europe acting crazy. They are away from their parents, got some booze in them and they go nuts...not all, but these are the ones that you hear about. Please leave Religion/Culture/Race out of the equation...we are all Human...some good, some bad...some respectful and some not...simple as that.
73. no big deal
amat ,   m'sia   (07.21.10)
it's just a case of Israeli teens showing off their true colours. nothing unusual..ask their palestinian neighbours
74. Israelis generally poor guests.
Steve ,   Australia   (07.21.10)
I travelled a lot about twenty years ago, and the few Israelis I met in those travels in Asia (all youth) were the most arrogant, rude and disrespectful people imaginable. There is something tragically wrong with the Jewish state. What happened to you? The Holocaust wasn't meant to be an example to emulate.
75. Greekas and Israel
A Greek ,   GREECE   (07.21.10)
Ilan or Ahmet?Show to me the Greek organized nti-Semitism? All the Political Parties with exception of the left call for Greek Israeli alliance. Show to me the organized anti-Semitism please??? The first Greek officer who died for Greece in 1940 against fascism was a Greek Jew Colonel named Mordochai Fritzis. He loved his soldiers and his soldiers loved him??Now Ilan or Ahmet from tomorrow a new day starts in the Eastern Mediterranean tell that to your masters in ANKARA. Not to forget that the Jewish Synagogue in CRETE WAS NOT BURNED BY GREEKS BUT BY FOREIGNERS they got caught ( AHMET the Turk =ILAN)
76. #61 You understood Marco
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.21.10)
Although no doubt your insecurity and hatred goes beyond Jews and Zionists.
77. The chosen people should be aloud to do whatever they wan
hugh ,   london   (07.21.10)
For god's sake, they are god's chosen people. You don't have the right to question their actions..only their god can. btw do you know that you can be charged with anti-semitism...that's a very serious charge...go and criticise others but please don't say anything bad about an israeli (just praise them)...i'm serious here..you better be scared
78. Boycott greece NOW
David Kasner ,   Boca Raton   (07.21.10)
This is nothing short of a historical lible that we are rude and petty people. Time to show these people business and diverst from Greece.
79. WHAT?
Mikhas Dollarberg ,   Yevreyskaya oblast   (07.21.10)
Cut all contacts with Greece!!! Teens or adults, they are jews and as such above any law! This is standard "rumspringa" -procedure for all young israelis to prepare them for wars, arab-extermination and defence against the existance of non-jews of particulary arab origin in the middle east...
80. Re: Greeks and Israel
Emmanuel ,   Athens   (07.21.10)
What are you saying is NOT right! Greeks donĀ“t hate Israel... but sometimes... Israels politics...
81. Puzzling that it's possible to...
Joe ,   Sydney, Australia   (07.22.10)
organize a stay at a hotel where you can somehow avoid paying for any damages. How can this work in the real world? In most hotels they take an imprint of the guest's credit card, so if one of the party makes a mess, they'll charge somebody for the cleanup. If you try to book a hotel anywhere in the world w/o a CC, experience says that you have to pay a deposit. Something's fishy about the story of the hotel not being able to recoup damages... If I ran a hotel, that was somewhat run-down, I wouldn't mind the guests to wreck a room or two if I could renovate it at their expense...
