Seems like a shaky region in which to build a facility. Must be some geo-political strategy involved in this decision, because as a business decision it makes little sense. For a company that needs both diverse and stable suppliers, this is a doubtful strategy.
Science & Technology
Israel leads the world in the number of scientists and technicians in the workforce,
the country has more engineers and sees more scientific articles published per capita than any other country in the world,
designed the Pentium NMX Chip technology,
designed the Pentium 4 and Centrium microprocessors,
created Instant Messenger (ICQ),
Israel?s scientific research institutions are ranked 3rd in the world,
Israel is ranked 2nd in space sciences,
Israel produces the 3rd most scientific papers per capita, and the most in stem cell science,
leads the world in patents for medical equipment,
Israeli companies invented the drip irrigation system,
discovered the world?s most used drug for multiple sclerosis,
and Israeli cows produce more milk per cow than any other in the world.
Business
Israel has the 3rd highest rate of entrepreneurship among women in the world,
Israel has attracted the most venture capital investment per capita in the world, 30 times more than Europe.,
Israel has more NASDAQ-listed companies than any country besides the US - more than all of Europe, India, China and Japan combined,
In proportion to its population, Israel has the largest number of startup companies in the world. In absolute numbers, Israel has more startups than any country other than the U.S.
and has good falafel!
Hopefully Israel will invent peace with all her neighbors in the near future.

Great informative post. Thanks, especially for the punch line.
Explains why Apple might be interested in doing R&D there. I wonder if they're headed toward some basic research on things like semiconductor science. Anybody know anything?
Maybe they're going to start something like Bell Labs or PARC now that they've arrived at a kind of hegemony.

You might think that death and destroyed lives on both sides of this conflict is funny but I do not. This issue divides opinion like few others and I think it would be a big mistake for Apple to go ahead with any such investment.

how about some Arabic, like Jihad (ahem, against Samsung)?
Now Apple can have their own line of chips based on Hebrew place names?
And finally wie can have kosher chips for our Mac's.
how about some Arabic, like Jihad (ahem, against Samsung)?
The only problem with that is that I doubt that Apple is going to set up shop in some place like Afghanistan anytime soon.
What is a "semiconductor development center" ???
A nondescript suburban office building housing engineers.

Wow, they must be doing really well in publications per capita if they come in 1st and 3rd... :-)

Much as I'd like to see that I seriously doubt they have it in them. It certainly would be an achievement to trump the rest.

Goes to prove that brainwashing is alive and well, and works on more than just Germans and Japanese.
Gruber links today to a hair-raising MediaMatters report on some sleazy twisting of unemployment figures by a certain "news organization."

Anywhere but apartheid racist Israel.
Hope this is not true.
Anywhere but apartheid racist Israel.
Israel is not an apartheid country. Where did you go to school? I'd ask for a refund.
I suggest that you boycott Apple.
Hope this is not true.

Totally agree with you. It's not just the Arabs who hate Israel.

You should join him and boycott Apple too. It seems that they're turning evil now.

They wanted war and that's what they got. I don't have any problems with that.
