Answer 2

Hi Trent,

We have many American tourists, students and immigrants in Israel.

I am Israeli and I do not think of Americans in general, but rather as individuals. Like all other people of the world, Americans come in a broad spectrum of personalities.  I cannot put all Americans in one category.

I hope you see my point.

Sincerely,

Ms. Miche ; })
