There is a sharp contrast between Israrelis (who for some reason regard themselves as Western) and the the behaviour of Westerners. It`s a generalisation, but there`s something about the Israeli culture that leads to rudness, unhelpfulness and abruptness that borders on the insolent. A bit of charm would do a treat: and make people actually like Israel and the Israelis. Some kind of mass behavioural change or attitude programme: after all, the Israelis are expert at changing attitudes!!
