Verbatim, from Yoram Ettingers Straight from the Boardroom:
Is Israel isolated, boycotted? Is time running out on the Jewish state? On the contrary time is on Israels side:
From a $1 billion gross domestic product in 1949 Israel surged to a $240 billion economy, rated among the top OPDC economies. Recently, the rising economic powers of the globe, China, Brazil and (especially) India, significantly expanded trade with Israel; Europe appoints Israelis to head its high technology commissions; China lobbies to get Israels expected export of natural gas; Europe, the former USSR and the Third World seek cooperation with Israels medical, agriculture, scientific and technological sectors; Israel is the fourth largest defense exporter in the world; Israels export is increasingly based on unique riches in the vital areas of health, medical devices, pharmaceutics, biomed, telecommunications, energy alternatives, water, agriculture and Internet; overseas investment in Israel surges, etc., etc.
