The Israelis

The Israelis are very stubborn. A lot of Israelis don't even
know how to write the word lenient. But, like every
person, they won’t say that they are stubborn. They will
say that they simply "know to stand up for themselves."
A lot of Israelis have high confidence, and even [also] if they don't
know English – they will always say that they speak excellent English,
and they will try to talk with every person who has an Anglo-Saxon
accent in English, even [also] if he understands Hebrew excellently.
Many people say that the Israelis are rude, maybe because of the
qualities that we mentioned, and perhaps because of the behavior of the
Israeli drivers. Who didn't hear about the stressed, nervous Israeli
drivers who yell on the road? If you haven't heard, you probably have
never driven on a road in Israel for more than 5 minutes.
But just a minute, there are also many beautiful things in Israelis. The
Israelis are very generous, and if you stay as a guest at Israelis you will
always come out with food and drinks (that suffice) for two weeks.
And, even though that on the road they are stressed and nervous, in life
they are very calm and optimistic, and always believe that “it’ll be OK”.
And most importantly, they are very friendly, and they call every
person on the street "my brother".
