rhockin says, "I avoid all Israeli products (as I do Russian) on principle . . ."
Well, rhockin is free to avoid whatever he (or she) wants to avoid, but I would be curious to know just which Russian products rhockin avoids.  Matryoshka dolls? Otoh, if he avoids all Israeli products, then he avoids a great many products in technology and medicine.
E.g. He should make sure that there are no Intel Pentium and Celeron computer processor chips on his personal computers (desktops, laptops and notebooks): these were either developed or manufactured in Israel. If his computer still works after that, he should remove the anti-virus software and personal firewalls: this technology originated in Israel. And he should discard all mobile phones, as this technology was also developed in Israel. In fact, mobile chip technology from an Israeli company has now been installed in over 100 million devices. 
Btw, I wonder whether rhockin also avoids all Chinese products as well.
