A billion Indians love us, a billion and a half Chinese hold us in high esteem. We’re having a little problem with Sweden but we’re working on it.
(Attributed to President Peres but we have to admit that we’re not sure of its provenance)
· If you’re judged by the company that you keep then Mizrahi Tefahot Bank is doing very well. Not only has prestigious magazine, Global Finance chosen it as the "Bank of the Year in Israel" it has also placed it on a list of 25 banks chosen as the best for 2010 in developed markets. The Israeli bank is ranked among financial heavy-hitters like J.P. Morgan, Credit Suisse, Royal Bank of Canada and HSBC and the financial hitters don’t come heavier than that. Our other banks are doing pretty well too and we’ve said this before and we’ll say it again; Israel has the potential to become another Switzerland – only better.

Natan Sharansky knows he’s disturbing the status quo. Days before the most recent meeting of the Board of Governors, the body that oversees the Jewish Agency for Israel, Sharansky, its relatively new chairman, declared that the agency’s traditional mission had outlived its usefulness.
Op-Ed: Action needed to combat campaign delegitimizing Israel

NEW YORK (JTA) -- The organized American Jewish community and our non-Jewish allies, with broad representation from across political and religious lines, are poised to launch a major initiative to counter the campaign to delegitimize Israel.

Toward the end of last year, Jimmy Carter apologized for some of his very harsh statements about Israel. In an "open letter to the Jewish community" -- and with a vagueness that ill becomes him -- he airily mentioned criticisms that "stigmatize Israel" but omitted his own contribution: the implication that Israel is, like the racist South Africa of old, an "apartheid" state.

The Jewish Agency's main priority is no longer to bring more Jews to Israel, but to help preserve Jewish identity worldwide, Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Shransky announced last week in a speech before American Jews visiting Israel.
Following Sharansky's statement, his predecessor, Ze'ev Bielski, said he hoped immigration to Israel would continue to be the Jewish Agency's main focus.
"If we have to think about the challenge we are facing, it's how to keep all as one family - it's not enough to speak about aliyah (immigration to Israel)," Sharansky said, adding that: "It's almost prohibited for the head of Jewish Agency to say so, but it cannot be the goal to bring more Jewish people ... We have to think globally."
Returned from a brief, heart-warming and meaningful trip to South Africa
Submitted by admin on Mon, 15/02/2010 - 21:17.Dear Friends,
I recently returned from a brief, heart-warming and meaningful trip to South Africa. Yes, the country is fraught with major problems - the high crime rate and high unemployment, poor living conditions for many and the enormous HIV/Aids burden. It’s easy to focus on the negative, but it’s not all ‘doom and gloom’. Many wonderful people are investing their time and/or money and huge efforts are being made by NGOs to close the gap between the haves and the have-nots.

“We love this Country!”
(Us at GN Israel. We mean it and we thought it needed to be said. [See all the items below])
· The Israel Consumer Confidence Index rose by three points in January 2010 to 95.8 points, after falling in December and November 2009. Now that’s GN. Everything during January this year points to economic expansion and the positive figures reinforce consumers' feeling that the economy is on the rebound. The balance of optimists over pessimists [we love those categories] when it comes to the current economic situation rose by 5.7 points in January.
