India should seriously consider Israel’s offer of a free-trade agreement. If the agreement is not acceptable to Left and there be another attempt at use of threats from it, the Govt can remind the Left that some of Israel's biggest investments are in Left-ruled West Bengal. After all, the Left did not find it revolting enough to deal with Israel's biggest real estate company, EMI, owned by billionaire tycoon Mordechai "Monti" Zisser, and found him to be a good partner for his Indian investments. EMI will invest $230 million to build multi-speciality hospitals and medical centres in the Israel-hating CPM bastion. So how come the Left gets the jitters when the Central Govt does business with Israel? Why the double standards?
It is high time the Govt put national interests above all and made decisions for overall benefit of the country. If the Left has chosen to sulk at all that Manmohan Singh does; so be it.

I am curious to understand if Isreal has any larger strategic interests in investing in India and what its impact is likely to be.
