Israel is not closed to Western investment. Apple getting this through did not require significant action on the part of local government. In the North Korean case, the regime has to be talked about.

Fair enough.

The reason I brought it up is because the Israel issue affects me personally since I try to maintain an Israel boycott. There is a growing group of boycotters around the world. Things are already hard enough with Intel having a big facility over there. This new facility by Apple is big news to us.

Interesting fact: Omar Barghouti, founder of the BDS movement, is getting his masters degree at Tel Aviv University.
