The discussion was about whether companies should disclose their Israeli identities following the war, a topic many Israeli companies struggle with amid the growing backlash against Israel.Dot…

"People are still saying, 'Oh, that's…

Looking around at the Israelis all enjoying the food at Minato, a veteran Japanese restaurant in Herzliya Pituah, I couldn’t help wondering whether Tokyo is full of falafel and hummus joints, where the locals can reciprocate and eat our food with the same enthusiasm.I very much doubt it.Minato, which I have visited several times in the past, is always busy, with Israelis wielding their chopsticks with great aplomb. The only fork we noticed on our recent visit was being used by a young lad of about 10, dining with his parents. We started off with a cup of sake…
