Well, when you consider the way Israelis despise US tourists as they bilk us of our hard earned money, maybe you are right. (and it is the case in France; as an American who happens to speak French I can tell you a few stories about what was said and done behind my back in CDG airport and the big department stores in Paris).

But having visited much of Europe and beyond, I have seen ignorant Americans who are sometimes ridiculed, but it is the Israelis who are truly despised for rudeness, overbearing behavior, and petty theft.

itzik s the americans are the most despised tourists not the israelis

ys765 just beause your polish neighbors dont talk to you has nothing to
do with tourism in poland! maybe its you they dont like or did it occur to you maybe they’re uncomfortable with new people.
im not sticking up for the poles as far as Im concerned they can all drop dead and i wont shed a tear

Playing football in the lobby at 2am, that describes any senior trip to Washington. Let the Polish hotel say no to tourists under a certain age, if they want a quiet & peaceful visit.

We have polish neighbours and since they moved in they have not said a word to us, just a nod now and again. The previous polish tennants were quite friendly, something has definately changed their attitude towards us.

It is indeed a Chillul Hashem but I am still a bit skeptical on whether or not this story is accurate! Lets not forget that anti semitism still lingers on and its possible that this could be a GROSS EXAGGARATION ,dont forget the source!

Could you please change the headline to read “Israeli”?

Not that the anti-Semitic Poles deserve any better, but this type of behavior is why the Israeli tourist is despised throughout the world. However, there is no reason to lump Jewish tourists from other, more civilized, societies in with Israelis.
