Trade with Turkey UP by 30% in 2010

Despite the events of the past year, Israel's trade with Turkey is up 30% in 2010 as compared with 2009.
According to figures compiled by the Central Bureau of Statistics, Israeli exports to Turkey and Turkish imports to Israel were both up by 30% in the past year. The growth was recorded mainly in the exports of chemical substances, agricultural products and refined fuel.

"The political events have not had a bad influence on business between the two countries in the public sector," Israel's Commercial Attaché in Ankara Doron Avrahami told Ynet. "Most Israeli businesspeople have adopted a 'business as usual' approach and are continuing to work."

According to Avrahami, "The atmosphere in meetings between businesspeople of both sides has been improving thanks to political talk about a reconciliation, but business went on as usual even when the atmosphere was not as good."
Sometimes we really are our own worst enemies.

Yup. It makes me wonder if Jews have any sense of moral restraint.

Then again Israel IS its own worst enemy in trading with Iran too!
