1. of course not, I don't think any Israeli bank
ghostq   (11.29.09)
will invest in real estate in the arab country it's to big financial political risk.
2. Dubai is zionist backer and Zionist back Dubai with money
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (11.29.09)
It is not an issue if Israeli banks are directly exposed or not World Zionism is somehow quite involved with Zionist clown of Dubai

5. #4 ... such as a state which denies one group of people
rob ,   australia   (11.29.09)
their basic humanitaran rights and shows complete bias to another group of people while maintaining a population of 4 million people hostage and denying them humanitarian aid, applying unfeasable policies on their lives and forcing them to endure daily humiliation? Your right no bank should invest in israel
6. Hey folks, this is the same Dubai that banned Shahar Pe'er!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (11.29.09)
Every time I hear the words "Dubai Crises" I laugh! This little tin-pot Sheikdom doesn't allow Jews to play sport there and its rulers are trying to buy the world and offering huge sums to sportsmen who are putting money before morals and ethics! May their "Islands" sink and their golf course turn into quagmires!
7. Dubai - a make believe country with a make believe economy
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (11.29.09)
Unlike its neighbors, Dubai has little oil or gas. It's a tribal sheikdom of little more than sand, its economy based on banking and real estate. There's no "there" there. Dubai World accumulated some $59 billion in highly leveraged debt. Collapse was inevitable. Now it's counting on neighbor UAE to bail it out.
8. #2&5 Shariah
Raphael ,   Netanya   (11.29.09)
bars any Jew to purchase real estate in arab countries. Thank you, arab racists!
9. iran is affected by dubai crisis
danaos   (11.30.09)
iran's investments are in great danger..
10. An empty shell that collapsed unto itself
AlexB ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.30.09)
Dubai has no economy. The West just up and decided to create an Oasis in this primitive land (they stone women for adultery too!), and even with all their oil money they cannot shield themselves from this economic crisis. As soon as the Western investors are gone, so is the hot air filling that empty shell of theirs. Have a nice day, "Qatar".
11. It was a matter of time before Dubai would crash
anon ,   South Africa   (11.30.09)
expensive skyscrapers standing tall but empty - the bubble burst
12. TYPHOON THE BABOON BUFFOON, from dust to dust destiny
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (11.30.09)
of Muslims Dubai was a mirage that arose from dust and is returning to dust Turkey under the Islamist control is following the same path This has repeated in history over and over again thousands of times you cannot escape your destiny, no matter how nicely you try to present it
13. To #7 & #8:
Wildmandxb ,   M.E.   (12.01.09)
Raymond, Dubai is not counting on its neighbor the UAE to bail it out, simply because it is IN THE UAE! It is PART of the UAE...daaaaaaah! Raphael, Shariah does not forbid jews from buying property in arab countries, come over to dubai and check how many jews own appartments there...you'll be amazed and surprised, and you will know how blind you were! Just shows how hatred turns people into uneducated fools!
