Did I mention Israelis come in most shades of all possible skin-tones?
How much do you want to bet this would be the one certain thing the Harperite Conservatives won’t want to learn from the Israelis to do? Ynet News:
China has sent a special delegation to Israel to learn about the aid provided by the Foreign Ministry to Israelis traveling abroad in times of distress. The reason for the trip was the growth in Chinese tourism across the world in the past few years.
The delegation was headed by the Chinese deputy foreign minister for legislation affairs and head of the Chinese foreign ministry’s consular department. They met with senior Foreign Ministry officials, including Deputy Director-General Rafi Barak and Yigal Tzarfati, head of the consular division.
The Chinese were interested in the nature of the cases in which Israel helps its citizens across the world, including incidents in which hikers are rescued and the steps taken in cases of missing people, road accidents, illnesses, the need to evacuate bodies, natural disasters, political instability and drug offenses. The Chinese also expressed their interest in the treatment of Israeli prisoners abroad.
Sigh.. All of which means there are now two things the Harperites won’t learn to do from the Israelis – care for our citizens abroad and airport security.
