This is good from an economic POV too. Israeli tourists are generally chesp and racist. Just ask India.

Is this not an inherently racist opinion? And not all Israelis support their government's actions. Let's not stoop to the same level as bigots on any side.

One manager at a hotel makes a claim that an indeterminate number of Israeli tourists (as few as 1) stole an indeterminate amount of property (as little as nothing) from his hotel.

And you've decided that this represents the failed moral character of 10 million Israelis?

I am really sick and tired of watching people decide that, because they oppose Israel's attack against Gaza, that they are permitted to spew hatred about Israelis and Jews because of their Religion/Ethnicity/National Origin.

Focus your energy on the actual enemies here: Netanyahu and the IDF. There are millions of Israelis and Jews that oppose what Israel is doing, and this constant stream of hateful rhetoric is keeping these allies at arms length from the rest of the movement, because too many people refuse to have clarity of target.
