Yes, Israelis like multitasking and they like people to know they are multitasking.
The chart at the left shows that engineers are more productive with two tasks than one but then, they get less productive with each additional task (I have no idea if this is correct but its what the chart shows).
Today, I was in the steam room at the Jewish Community Center. There was a fellow there basking in the steam and also shaving (without a mirror). It turns out he is an Israeli and learned to shave without a mirror in the IDF. From what I can tell, Israelis like to have two or more conversations at a time (sometime using two different cell phones), they like to attend more than one synagogue, they have more than one favorite hang out, etc.
