I’ve marveled at the same thing when I’ve visited my brother, who lives in Israel, and watched Israelis locally (a good number of Israeli immigrants live around here). I think it’s a reaction to being under constant attack as a nation, and it’s also the result of a culture that prizes macho aggression. I love Israel and generally find Israelis charming, but after a while their in-your-face nature makes me want to have a powerful drink in a quiet room.
