I found the Israelis to be nice and in some cases pretty generous, but then so were a lot of the Egyptians (I hung with them more, but did have a wickedly safe Israeli friend....I was gutted he had to join the army....not much fun for them).
Saying that I did get threatened with a stabbing in Israel and almost got macheted in Egypt (my Egyptian mate thought it would be funny to teach me to say something like "your dad fucks goats", which I said to the helper bloke where we were staying....he pinned me down and with his machete raised over his head told me if I ever said it again he'd kill me......know how to take a joke them boys).
