Israel's economy: up, up, up
Yorm Ettinger has just e-mailed out issue #87 in the Boardroom series. The item refers to recent economic news from Israel and shows clearly how all the anti-Israel boycotts are failing miserably. For a heart-warming read, click here.Posted by Joseph Alexander Norland at October 12, 2004 07:04 AM
