<strong>Claiming</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Right</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Say</strong> <strong>No</strong><br />
because of <strong>the</strong> above condition and <strong>the</strong>re are lot of crimes done by <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
Israelis think that <strong>the</strong>y are <strong>the</strong> chosen people of God and do what <strong>the</strong>y<br />
like. They have sex with local girls and drugs are part of <strong>the</strong>ir life.<br />
A Goan-German family, who came <strong>to</strong> Goa for vacation, <strong>to</strong>ld us that <strong>the</strong>y<br />
are very tricky in <strong>the</strong>ir ways. Two of <strong>the</strong>m will come <strong>to</strong> ask a house for<br />
rent. After a few days ano<strong>the</strong>r four will join <strong>the</strong>m. Then all of <strong>the</strong>m create<br />
a lot of noise, <strong>the</strong>y bang <strong>the</strong> gate, <strong>the</strong>y come late at night and put on<br />
music.<br />
Israelis by Themselves<br />
One of <strong>the</strong>m remarked that we have beautiful beaches, scenery etc. They<br />
believe that <strong>the</strong>y work very hard, harder than us that is why <strong>the</strong>y are<br />
employed in various parts of <strong>the</strong> world, even in India. If we ask <strong>the</strong>m<br />
about war against Palestine, <strong>the</strong>y say it is like a war between India and<br />
Pakistan. The main reason is that people of Palestine want a separate<br />
country and Israelis are not ready <strong>to</strong> grant <strong>the</strong>ir wish. They have <strong>to</strong> go for<br />
military training. For boys it is for 3 years and for girls it is for 2 years.<br />
This training is compulsory for <strong>the</strong>m. They are trained as per <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
education, ability, capacity etc. Their (Israel) government gives <strong>the</strong>m<br />
subsidies after <strong>the</strong>ir military training which is enough <strong>to</strong> buy cigarettes. In<br />
past <strong>the</strong>ir (Israel) government used <strong>to</strong> send <strong>the</strong>m for relaxation after <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
military training but now <strong>the</strong>y have s<strong>to</strong>pped because some of <strong>the</strong>m never<br />
return <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir homeland.<br />
Remarks made by People on Israeli Tourists<br />
A shack owner remarked that “sometime <strong>the</strong>y pay <strong>the</strong> bill but most of <strong>the</strong>m<br />
leave without paying <strong>the</strong> bill”. A female vendor said that “some of <strong>the</strong>m are<br />
good and some of <strong>the</strong>m are bad”. A Russian <strong>to</strong>urist said that “<strong>the</strong> Israelis<br />
are good people but <strong>the</strong>y are foxy”.<br />
My Eye<br />
I find that Israeli people are good people. It means that only those who<br />
