We love
‘em in Israel, those Israelis! Seriously, they can be some of the finest
people on the planet, especially when you’re talking about
friendliness, warmth and amazing hosting.Then again, when you get to mix it with Israelis on a daily basis, you soon get to pick up on some of their less admirable quirks…we’ve introduced you to a few of the locals here, but in the list below we’ve compiled a golden little list of the things Israelis will NEVER say. Even if you twist their arms and pull their hair, honest guv.
OK, it’s only a bit of humor, but for those of us who know, there are some nuggets in this little list…
-
“Let’s do it by the book this time.”
-
“Ah, it’s my round!”

“I hate going to places that are full of other Israelis.”
-
“Isn’t it a little cramped in here?”
-
