1. israeli "chutzpa"
sas ,   israel   (08.17.08)
who created the "situation room" and began all this nonsence????????the foreign ministry..... they are eating what they cooked years ago. honestly - the embassies do so little work - so at least this gives them some kind of activity.
2. one word
Josh ,   Jerusalem   (08.17.08)
RESPONSIBILITY. Something Israeli's do not understand.
3. It doesnt start there
i ,   jerusalem   (08.17.08)
in the foreign ministry. Something in the education, the water or the mothers milk inculcated the idea that "me" and my protekzia come first, screw the world.
4. What about a restaurant reservation?
Elly ,   Vienna, Austria   (08.17.08)
My mother asked the Austrian consulate to try and make a restaurant reservation at Wolfgang Puck in Los Angeles as it was booked. And they did get her a table. Yes it's chutzpah but not the end of the world in certain cases.
5. Have you ever tried to drive here?
Logic ,   Israel   (08.17.08)
Even a zen master would throw a hissy fit.
6. I beg the Israeli Consulates: leave these imbeciles abroad!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.17.08)
Maybe this will improve our local gene pool!
7. Chutzpah. True Story!
Roc ,   Israel   (08.17.08)
I was working in one of Israel's Embassies when an Israeli called up insisting that we take a reservation for him to stay in a suite at the Embassy while his family was on vacation. He was furious when I told him we had no rooms. He claimed friends had stayed at the Embassy. Finally, I realized he confused the "Embassy Suites" hotel chain with a suite in the Israeli Embassy!
8. no, it's not chutzpah
fish ,   tel-aviv   (08.17.08)
It's a mentality of people from a one-horse town, who got into a big world, and think that they are still back home...
9. Not supprising at all..
Elchonon ,   Chevron   (08.17.08)
Considering the crap traveling israeli's deal out. One reason I refuse to fly el al. The 2nd i'm on that plane I put up with NOTHING.. Oh and Israeli's in the US especialy in the south; heres's a news flash.. we aintt "friars" the reason we smirk at you as you scream like a mishuganer anmd issue threats, is because MANY MANY of us carry concealed.. You cant see our guns but they are there.. issuing threats is really a insult. This is what happens when they have wild rude parents, or serve in yasam and learn to beat up protesters.
10. STUPIDITY ISN'T CHUTZPA!!!
robert goldman ,   kfar saba israel   (08.17.08)
