Pointing out that a Chinese company will soon start operating Haifa Port, he said that Israel needs to create a mechanism that will examine Chinese investments to ensure that they do not put Israels security interests at risk.
When China acquires ports, Horev said, it does so under the guise of maintaining a trade route from the Indian Ocean via the Suez Canal to Europe, such as the port of Piraeus in Greece. Does an economic horizon like this have a security impact? We are not weighing that possibility sufficiently. One of the senior American figures at the conference raised the question of whether the U.S. Sixth Fleet can see Haifa as a home port. In light of the Chinese takeover, the question is no longer on the agenda.

Figures a globalist d!ck like you would chime in on the side of Communists.
you misspelled dick
I wasn’t looking for a 44 minute video to watch this morning, but once I started that one I could’t stop watching. I knew some US corporations cooperated with the Nazis before WWII started, but didn’t realize some of them kept it up in various ways during the war.
Some think that government should seldom interfere with business, but when it comes to international situations, our government should absolutely interfere in what US corporations often want to do. But transnational corps have mostly headed off that possibility by buying and paying for a sufficient number of members of Congress and even some in the White House.
For decades, it amazed and baffled my how the US did everything possible to contain the USSR, but seemingly has allowed everything possible to enrich and empower Red China. I think that’s because commercial interests gradually become more influential than national security interest in DC and the commercial interests wanted access to cheap Chinese labor and potentially hundreds of millions of new customers as China became more prosperous. We now have major US corporations which have revenues in China comparable to those in the US, or even greater than those in the US.
I never thought we should have gone beyond diplomatic relations with China until they abandoned communism, but commercial interests won out. China is hell bent on world domination and all those ways they establish a presence in various nations around the world is part of that goal.
Remember how all those US globalists told us that trade and capitalism would turn Red China into a freedom loving democracy? Looks like it’s turned them into wealthy communists intent on global domination while suppressing all religious and ethnic minorities within China.
Dumbest foreign policy moves in US history.
I expect that the US and Israel and many other nations are able to run their ports as well or better than the Chinese. A financial explanation can probably be found, a financial interest that some politicians allowed to trump national security interests.

Getting foreign help to go around the stranglehold of the unions is great. But China cannot be trusted and pose a security risk to Israel.
“Those decisions were made by the Transportation Ministry and the Ports Authority, with zero involvement of the National Security Council, and without the navy being in the picture at all.”
Check their accounts, assets and spending patterns. They may have just sold out their country for bribes, like so many others. China is number one in the world for bribing Government officials.
BS, the Israeli pilot refused to sink the ship against orders broke off the attack when he saw there was a mistake.
Now you should commit sepeku for your slander.
The port is crap at unloading cargo due to Union control and frequent strikes halting Israel’s supply chain. I suspect better a foreign enemy than a domestic one.
