The footage shown on Channel 2 Tv was clear evidence that the Israeli kids were to blame. Going by the past history of Israelis abroad, not only teenagers, but adults as well, I can easily believe it was not the hotel staff who caused the problems. We unfortunately have a bad reputation of behavior when abroad. It gives everyone from Israel a bad name.

Just the usual Israeli Jew experience. The behave like this in Goa daily. India has considered banning them in Goa

The Roma act ten times better than Israelis. That has been my experience in the hotel trade. They will steal anything of value, towels, bath mats, ash trays, bed linen. What they leave behind they will purposely break. They are loud and rude. No one in the business likes them.

While physically attacking the teens was out of line, I'm afraid that I do believe the hotel staff about the teen's behaviour.

I have traveled in Europe and Asia quite a lot. Sad to relate that only after emphasizing my age and as a solo female traveler was my reservation accepted many times. Most decent budget hotels are more than hesitant to accept Israeli citizens due to past experiences with so many of us...

I too have seen and heard too many times unpleasant and unacceptable behaviour from Israelis abroad.

I don't know what the answer is - perhaps a behavioural emphasis at the passport office?

Something must be done, anyway.

After working hotels in Jerusalem and Eilat, I can say with lots of experience: Never book groups of Israelis into your hotel. Adults or teens (teens being the worst, by far) - both are disrespectful of others, rude, steal or damage property, threaten or commit acts of violence against hotel staff... It is truly embarrassing to Jews and Israelis everywhere every time we read about these boorish yobs trashing a hotel somewhere. It's bad enough when it happens in Israel, worse when it happens abroad. If you own a hotel, please help Jews, and Israelis, save face: Don't book your hotel to Israeli groups.

The new teens of Israel are products of the modern Israel and a lot of them are very arrogent and have the "I don't give a Sh.." attitude. Israel is too rich now and teh parents spoli the kids way too much.
