[unfortunately a bluestater]

I don't know how the Washington Post will portray the deal in its article tomorrow. But, I don't think the Israeli firm is a villain in this. The Drudge article links to another article (I will put the link below also). That other article points out that Dubai Ports World got much more favorable treatment from the CFIUS than the Israeli firm (Check Point) did. In fact, the Israeli firm is having to go through the longer, 45-day review. Out of about 1,600 applications that have gone thru CFIUS, only 25 to 50 have received the 45-day review----with this Israeli application being one of them. Link to the other article:

Thanks for the link.
I just love the comparisons between Arab countries and Israel.
Israel who only wants peace. Who has only fought defensively, and then negotiated back its wins for a peace treaty.
And then to be compared to regimes who fund terrorism.... ONe must be totally morally and logically asleep to put these two peoples in the same category.

They are doing the 45 day review to both parties, as to not appear biased. If this DPW would have went though, without the need for this meaningless 45 day review Israel would have sailed though without problems as well.
