1. I wish the best for Mr. Stas Misezhnikov

I hope the tourism sites will be successful. But it would be better if the Israeli government and Palestinian Authority lease some land to the Chinese, say 500 hectares to build casinos there. The presence of Chinese in that area will certainly be a peace driving force as both Palestinians and Israelis can learn a lot of things from us. By being there we will be able to be a mediator between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
2. #1 Are you serious?
jay3 ,   Israel   (11.28.09)
The Arabs hate the Chinese and you would just be another target for their terrorism. You people in Asia have to realize that these Arabs are not interested in peace,,,,,,,just the destruction of ISrael and for all non muslims to be forced out! The casino in Taba, Egypt, has already been attacked by terrorists, and thats run by Arabs.
3. A letter for Mr. Jay3
Lum Chang Choi ,   Johor Bahru Malaysia   (11.28.09)
Hello Jay3. It doesn't matter if the Arabs hate us, but I believe that by Chinese being there, their love towards us will come. I hope that the government of Israel will allow thousands and thousands of Chinese to work in Israel. The Chinese will make Israel one of the best manufacturing hub in the middle east and help Israel's tourism industry. We will also enrich Israel culturally. This will make Israel a more fascinating tourism journey.
4. #3 Chinese visitors always welcome
David ,   Shilo Israel   (11.28.09)
I have nothing but respect for the many Chinese that I have got to know over the years. Israel does get tourists from Chinese speaking communities, as well as excellent workers. As a Jewish country, our first obligation is to attract fellow Jews to come home and help build our nation. Under Jewish law, non-idol worshipers are also allowed to live amongst us if they feel a burning desire to do so. By extension that would include peace loving Arabs as well, provided that they are prepared to accept Jewish soveignty in Israel, together with the laws of our state. I hope you get a chance to visit Israel, shalom!
5. It's Not About Freezes, It's About Israel
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (11.28.09)
Look fellow Zionists, this is the bottom line, which is 9 words: no recognition, no peace, no negotiation, "Still not enough". After 67, the Arab League gave their answer to Israel's overtures to return all the territory. Abbas last week, in response to the freeze is traveling around the world with the same message. The Arabs since 1900 haven't changed their tune..a Judenrein Palestine..( through war, guerrilla actions, land for peace, phony agreements and outright lies). To Israel: The Arabs don't want you in their midst..and by hook or crook, they will get you out, even if it takes Iranian nukes and an Israeli massive retaliation ( will wipe out most Pales too). So wake up guys. Don't give them one dunam of land..don't act like losers of 9 wars. Get smart.

The jews don't/ won't pay the Chinese workers.
7. Extreme left-wing Roni calls Israel the "left bank"
Ruri   (11.28.09)
Extreme left-winger Roni believes parts of Israel are actually a bank left of Jordan, that's why he refers to them as "the left bank". In actual fact, Roni and his fellow former mainstream media journos are "the left bank".
8. Why won't pay the Chinese
#6 ,   Johor Bahru Malaysia   (11.29.09)
Shlomo Kamra said Israel don't want to pay the Chinese. Why? We Chinese will enrich you culturally and will make Israel the most developed country in the Maditanarenean and Middle East.
9. # 1
Israel Forever ,   Israel   (11.29.09)
Kum Chang Choi, isnt China large enough for you & your friends?? We dont have enough land for ourselves & you are asking for some land to build casinos on ?? What are you tripping on ??
10. Israel Forever
Lum Chang Choi ,   Johor Bahru Malaysia   (11.29.09)
Israel Forever, Please don't be short-sighted. The Chinese will bring happiness to both Israelis and Arabs. Whereever there are Chinese, the country become prosperous and full of peaceness.
