1. Halevy is right
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (10.04.13)
Halevy is right and don't forget they will use their people for spying or building spy rings!
2.  " MADE IN CHINA "
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (10.04.13)
Was Efraim Halevy made in china ? (everything else is .)
3.  CONFUCIUS SAYS
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (10.04.13)
CHINA BUILD GOOD RAILWAY.
4.  " DON'T HOCK ME A CHINA"
MR YIDDISH ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.04.13)
(Old yiddish saying.)
5.  CONFUCIUS SAYS
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (10.04.13)
One door shuts ,another door opens....
6. Railway ? JUST DO IT
MR NIKE ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (10.04.13)
Far too much arguing and deliberating and thinking and worrying going on .
7. All right, let's make an agreement then
Tahl   (10.04.13)
Israel will stay away from China, and America will stay away from Iran.
8. you want to trade with china fine, BUT
mark   (10.04.13)
critical industries and vital communications transportation links should be hands off. I am no fan of halevy who has been wrong on many things. But china is a communist dictatorship who would screw israel in a second, and israel should safeguard its own vital industries. Generaral trade is fine. The same applies to putin. No vital secrets/ trade should be sold to him either as he more than china would sell out israel.
9. dont the americans know how to
edie ,   sa   (10.04.13)
build and operate railways ?? (end)
10. only chia can get the job done on time & budget
zionist forever   (10.04.13)
We are talking about laying railway tracks from one part of Israel to another so where is the big deal? There are no national security issues about laying railway tracks I also don't see any political issues here that will have the US up in arms. China is famous for getting big projects done on time and on budget whilst Israel is not. The Jerusalem light rail cost millions more than budgeted and took years longer than it was supposed to do. We cannot avoid doing serious trade with China just because the US doesn't want us to. The US & Europe are yesterdays trading partners but China is tomorrow, they have the money and they are not as highly developed in some areas that the west are so harder for Israel to break into those markets.
11. "THREATENS OUR TIES "
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (10.04.13)
Spoken like a true " slave ."
12.  THE TRUTH :
MR REALITY CHECK ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (10.04.13)
China is today ,already ,a " world power" but the u.s is in shutdown and meltdown and is in the brown stuff. I respectfully suggest that Mr .Halevy bear that in mind.
13.  PERHAPS HALEVY IS RIGHT ?
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (10.04.13)
Maybe Mr Halevy is correct in his assessment regarding chinese involvement ? Maybe he is wrong and lis living in the past ? .I suggest this because the world has changed .
14. Poor Halevy is frightened by his American overlords.
Jake ,   USA   (10.04.13)
Zionism means Jewish independence. Not Jewish reliance on America. Israel must do whatever is best for Israel.
15.  OR IN OTHER WORDS
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (10.04.13)
Mr. Halevy would be thrilled if the chinese would build a long awaited (and imaginary ) railway to Eilat but he is too afraid to upset the americans. Which is why ,in another 50 years there still will not be a railway to Eilat which will remain in the middle of nowhere.
16. RAILWAY TO EILAT ?
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (10.04.13)
Don't hold your breath .
17. Halevy is as many others security officials corrupted by US
(10.04.13)
18. BETTER CHINA THAN OBAMA !
(10.04.13)
19. Well who opened China to the world ?
Arnold ,   Montreal - Canada   (10.04.13)
Corporate America invested billions and billions in China in order to get cheap labor and product. that followed by the rest of the west. The result is a China now growing by leaps and bounds and quickly becoming economic powerhouse. The USA opened the doors to China and now they are afraid of losing control. Bombardier is a Canadian aerospace and railway manufacturing operating in China. If Israel is thinking twice before giving out this rail contract then they should look closely at what Bombardier can do for this contract.
20. WHO CARES WHO BUILDS IT ?
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (10.04.13)
21. EARTH TO HALEVY :
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (10.04.13)
Just do what is good for you ,don't worry about offending the Goyim ( they are already offended .)
22. EFRAIM HALEVY IS NOYVOUS ...
JACKY MASONIST ,   NEW YORK NEW YORK   (10.04.13)
And anxious...and noivous ( nervous )
23. 2 ISRAELIS KILLED ON TRAIN TRACKS
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (10.04.13)
Israelis and trains do not get along well
24. ask Mr. Halevi about his
sue ,   mevasseret   (10.04.13)
theory about North Korea. He certainly screwed up there.
25. garbage. china is the future obama threatens usa israeli tie
ralph   (10.04.13)
26. What is Halevy's hidden agenda?
Raphael ,   Netanya   (10.04.13)
Railway cannot compete with the low cost of sea freight: it would only be a strategic asset in case the Suez Canal gets closed again. As for the harmful strategic impact of the Chinese, did you evaluate the consequences of letting the light railway in Jerusalem controlled by french companies Veolia and Alstom? Never heard about the nefarious french consulate in Jerusalem, with its bulging staff of 71 "diplomats"?
27.  " CHINA THREATENS OUR TIES "
CAPTAIN SARCASTIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (10.04.13)
In particular the polka dot tie and the red stripey one...
28.  CONFUCIUS SAYS
CONFUCIUS ,   SAFED CHINA   (10.04.13)
Wise man takes man who supports his enemies and makes him his friend ( by doing business with him )
29.  A CLEVER IDEA :
ALBERTO EINSTEIN ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (10.04.13)
Use illegal immigrants to build rail tracks and don't stop until you reach the Red Sea.
30. Halevy claims China supports Israels' enemies, but so does
A ,   Belgium   (10.04.13)
America. They have aided the Syrian rebels, the Moslem Brotherhood, and the "palestinians" (the whole ongoing farce called "peace talks" are a product of American "ingenuity"). I think on the whole, America has more friends among Israels' enemies than China does. And with "friends" like Oblabla, who needs enemies?
