The rudeness, Israeli national sport?
Steward roughed places "disabled" occupied ... videos circulating on the social networks show the rude behavior of Israelis. The subject is being debated in Israel.
I f some still doubted the sense of self Israelis, here disabused.Virulently, the country debate for weeks of a phenomenon called uncompromising "the ugly Israeli" (the ugly Israeli), this category of individuals acting too often without manners or politeness, even with perfect boorishness. The controversy began to swell after the broadcast of an amateur video shot in late February in an airplane, between Israel and Bulgaria. It shows a group of passengers brutally attacking a steward who is slow to sell to one of them chocolate it requires. "I paid for this flight, I want my chocolate," s 'cried the woman, while another adds: "Sell him what chocolate, junk species is an Arab or what? "
The aggression of a steward by a group of passengers
Eye-catching and coarse, the short film is a hit: repeated endlessly on social networks and the major television channels commented on the "one" of the national press, it gives the kickoff of a veritable flood . Picnic organized on "handicapped" parking places, violent altercation between clients and staff in a hotel in the resort town Eilat throwing contest cat litter mountains abandoned on the beaches ...
The more a week goes by without the publication of a new video showing the citizens of Israel in postures singularly lacking in decorum. Hard to escape the controversy as it invades all media. Facebook pages are created the same, prompting users to post images, films and testimonies denouncing the phenomenon. "It takes everyone with its smartphone can take the instigators of disorders in flagrante delicto and shame them by exposing their profanity on the site Public insists Shahar Turgeman, head of the tourism agency Hadaka 90, which launched the "Fight the ugly Israeli", consisting of 35,000 "like". That way, they will think twice before starting to put the bazaar in airplanes, banks and hospitals.
CHUTZPAH, PELLET MIXTURE AND EFFRONTERY
Commentators, observers, everyone has their own explanation. Some see in the ambient aggression the result of tensions prevailing in a society divided between Ashkenazim and Mizrahim (Eastern Jews). Others point the occupation of Palestinian territories who, dragged on, would rot the minds "The occupation corrupts and it shows. Violence in night clubs, the attitude of these" ugly Israeli "shown in the latest video clips "and affirmed Carmi Gillon, a former head of the domestic intelligence service Shin Bet, in an interview in late April Globes newspaper.
From there to make incivility a national characteristic, there are not a few stakeholders in the debate are willing to take. True, in Israel, we reject the formalism in favor of direct relations. It values the chutzpah, the hallmark denoting a pellet mixture and effrontery. While courtesy can go for slightly petty bourgeois, if not downright hypocritical. However ... "I'm going to China and I can tell you that there are also" ugly Chinese ". We find this kind of individuals around the world, "insists Gad Yair, a sociologist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem." What is very Israeli, this is not to be "ugly" but the discussion it generates subject, he believes. Here we have opinions on everything, we spoke with vigor and without saving. It is also a reflection of a society in conflict, ambivalent about his identity: we are not really oriental but not Western, and many have internalized the colonial perspective that Israelis are perhaps a little barbaric. "
For Shahar Turgeman, who launched another Facebook page called "The beautiful Israeli" (the handsome Israeli), "99% of citizens behave well and we should not let others spoil it. "
