The Israeli Traveller

[cricketplaya]

Just be careful when you meet an Israeli tourist :D, I don’t say that, they themselves warn us…

**For the Israeli tourist, the place hosts another animal – the local women of the Hmong tribe, dressed in black, who have learned to recite a children’s song in Hebrew, and sing it repeatedly in the hope that the visiting overlord might agree to buy a handicraft from them for several pennies. **

The global traveling season is now at its peak. Hordes of tourists are storming Thailand and Laos, South America and Kenya. And the battle has already been decided.** The Israeli, any Israeli, has become an icon of evilness, ugliness, corruption and exploitation. There is no use searching for ways to change the behavior of Israelis abroad. This is a lost cause.

**For his part, the Israeli traveller goes out of his way not to be identified as an Israeli, not due to security concerns but simply for fear he will not be welcome. And he makes great efforts not to go where other Israelis go, not for the sake of exclusiveness,but **simply because he knows that his countrymen will be the first ones to screw him over. **

**The Israeli pig is the product of years-long and ongoing cultural corruption. He will force the locals to watch episodes from the reality show “the Big Brother” and give them Israeli nick-names just for laughs. **

**His language is poor, and he is utterly uninterested in broadening his horizons. He is hostile towards Arabs and hostile towards foreigners in general and feels obligated to cheat them whenever he can (empty the open buffet; sneak six people into a double room at night so as not to come out “a sucker.”) He takes over drug and women trafficking hubs just for the sense of power and bullying. **

**And this image can no longer be altered. Look at them and see us: a violent horde that treats the world as yet another policing mission, a destination that needs to be conquered and subdued. **
**No wonder that in Hebrew the verb “to do” refers both to the act of sexual conquest and to the completion of the Israeli traveler’s tough, military-style trip abroad: “I did Bolivia.” **
