According to this, Chinese laborers hired by Isreal were ordered to stay away from Isreali women. This is the only story i saw on it, and could not find out any other information (like what is the name of the company?). Does anyone here know anything about it?

thanx

In 86 in went to work on a kibbutz around Haifa, Israel.

During the indoctrination training we underwent in the UK before leaving, we were told we could not fraternise with the Israeli girls or boys as their parents had all confirmed their offspring could only have children with other Jews and the kibbutz management could not guarantee our safety if we did not follow this rule.
