It IS understandable, after all.
By way of a footnote I want to ensure that readers understand that I do not intend to disrespect Israelis. I find their utter rudeness amusing, as you can guess. BUT Israelis have every right to be cantankerous. At around age 21, every Israeli serves a mandatory three-year stint in the army. All five bordering countries hate Israel, and, for the most part, would happily obliterate it if they could. It is astoundingly complicated, but the bottom line is that about 7.7 million Israelis risk their lives or risk the loss of loved ones so that approximately one-trillion Jews around the world have a safe haven to flee to if they need one. With a load like that, it is no wonder that Israelis have tough skins.
