Michael Crow, president of Arizona State

University recently addressed a Jewish

National Fund breakfast in Scottsdale,

AZ on the subject, "The Power of

Investing in Israel."  We Hold These Truths was there to challenge the

event.  Find out why we were there alongwith an eyeopening analysis by

Chuck Carlson on the risks of investing in Israel that prudent investors

should be aware of.  As an example of those risks, the Financial

Times had this to say, "In a report on the world gas

industry prepared for Norway

this year, the consultancy IHS ranked Israel

lower than Angola or Mozambique in

terms of officials’ respect for contracts."
