Another nice article mate, you got me with the story about the hostels. I feel exactly the same way, can't stand these shallow people.
With regards to Israel (I understand your excitement talking politics publicly - I'm writing on a spicy topic at the moment as well), it's fairly balanced and I agree for the most part. It's good you show the Israeli society in its plurality. Many people forget this aspect.
And whether one agrees with Israel's recent actions in Gaza or not - you'll find many supporters for both positions within the Israeli society. And Bibi isn't that popular anymore either. If I would be Israeli, I now would be fearful for the survival of Israel for the first time in decades. Most of that fear results in Natanyahu's actions - he overplayed his hand thinking it's 1997 and the Israeli society already pays a high price for that. And the Arabs more so.
The point that anti-Israeli/Jewish sentiment is now made so popular and acceptable in the West appears to me as organic as BLM or the climate stickers - is someone being set up here as a scapegoat? I have a baaad feeling.
