Whoops

So what's the worst thing that can happen when you've decided to convince the American public that the UAE are ruthless savages who shouldn't be anywhere NEAR one of our port facilities because they don't buy Israeli goods and services?

Why, a letter from an Israeli who has done business with them and likes the cut of their jib:
_____________________________
Dear Senator Clinton,

We are the owner of the largest Israeli shipping line in the world, Zim. In light of the concerns and misinformation about DP World in the US media, we want to put on record our support for the company.
For the past many years we have been pleased to have DP World as our business partner, supporting our operations by providing services at key marine terminals around the world, including in the UAE.

As an Israeli company, security is of the utmost importance to us and we require rigorous security measures from terminal operators in every country in which we operate, but especially in Arab countries, and we are very comfortable calling at DP World’s Dubai ports. During our long association with DP World, we have not experienced a single security issue in those ports or in any of the terminals operated by DP World and have received exemplary service that enhances our efficiency and the smooth running of our operations."
