I appreciate the concerns with regard to safety & security. There is good reason to stop resources to the cigarette industry. In this kind of situation, I would regard the right products & divest funds in an appropriate manner. I like good Israeli businesses. סוגי מחשיב

This is strange because i wasnt aware of israel being under any threat of tsunami's or earth quakes for that matter. Not all of a sudden or at the same time Unless theres something the government clearly knows about but doesnt want to tell us about
