Israeli blogger Fily discusses myths about the Asian community in Israel.
“Why, I wonder, don’t the Asian students mingle with the locals? Why is it that the Israelis obsessed with Asia don’t make the effort to try to meet the Asian students?
You see, I know that some of my Asian friends in Israel - and their friends - feel somewhat lonely and isolated here and that they want to meet the locals. I also know that some Israelis would die for a good Asian friend or culture/language-exchange.”

If I recall, Israel signed an agreement with the likes of Thailand on migrant (seasonal labour), that forbid the Thais from having relations with Israelis.
This deal was done through the Thai Department of Labour, or along those’s lines, I have to admit that it must be extremely difficult to police such an agreement, especially with those’s that have lived in the State for some years.
