1. Drivers for Economic Growth - Heading South!

Netanyahu has gone unnervingly quiet about the allocation of Gas Funds for Infrastructure The building of Major Infrastructure will not only serve to drive the next cycle of growth and employment but will accelerate investment The focus and biggest potential is in the South but we need the South to be fully connected and integrated - with the Trans Israel N S Railway via Beersheba, the BIA Beersheba International Airport, Beersheba Metro and Increased Water Supply for Agriculture and Industry to North Negev This improved Connectivity will attract new Businesses in all sectors as well as an expanded Academia Culture and Arts and of course the huge Tourist Potential of the Negev

Question? IF ISRAELI ECONOMY IS ON THE RISE. HOW COME THERE ARE NO JOBS?
3. 2

israel's unemployment is 6% these days. i would hardly call it no jobs. america would die to have such an unemployment score since they have now 17% unemployment if you consider many that have stopped looking for jobs after a futile attempt lasting 2 or more years. israel's economy, the 17th best according to the oecd, in the world, is progressing incredibly well with exports doubling and imports as well. economically, israel is a power house as is the brain power there as well. the usa and europe can only dream of having such an explosively great economy as israel for the past 5 years. and this year, moody set the israeli score at A PLUS. what score did europe and the usa get??? they went down for the first time in decades. but not israel. i wonder with all those bds'ers claiming all kind of victories internationally, they have not managed to slow the israeli economy one iota. nothing has slowed down. it has exploded forward much to their dismay and regret. the only people they ended up influencing are some dumb has been artists and musicians that basically contributed nothing to the betterment of humanity not now or ever. those artists and rock and roll musicians, israel can surely live without.
4. #2 More jobs
Tim ,   Brighton   (10.11.13)
We need a must higher level of Central and Strategic 5/10/20 Year Planning to help jump to the next level We have to focus for this next phase on the South where there is space for development and real estate and house prices are lower and the potential for manufacturing and services and especially tourism enormous That requires infrastructure spending on Rail, Bersheeba International Airport, Roads, Water and Power Supply That's spells one thing...Jobs Jobs and more Jobs
