i wana give a list of israeli n american products which we use everyday ....but that would be a huuuge list..
I´m all for the list! Do post it if you make it. Maybe it´ll help us to buy American products here, in the USA, instead of the ones made by people in other countries to whom American jobs were outsourced.

anything you use in America is produced in the other parts of the world especially China. It`s cool if you`re planning not to consume any product.

Not "anything", but that´s beside the point, I was being sarcastic in my post (however poor the attempt might have been).
I wish there was a smiley for that.

I try my best to avoid buying things made in China, since you can pretty much count on it being crap. But your right..almost everything here is made in China. I will say that the products I have bought made in Turkey, have been made very well.

I agree with you on chinese products.
I remember last year´s scandal concerning mattel toys dye and the risk they had on children´s health.End of 2008 we had the melamin scandal.
The problem is that they dont put "made in china" on the products of multinational companies such as nestle, unilever, ....etc etc
So in order to track down the product one can look at the barcode, the first 3 digits of the barcode is the country code wherein the product was made.
Sample all barcodes that start with 690.691.692 until 695 are all MADE IN CHINA.
471 is Made in Taiwan
00 ~ 13 USA & CANADA
30 ~ 37 FRANCE
40 ~ 44 GERMANY
50 ~ UK
76 ~ Switzerland and Lienchtenstein
628 ~ Saudi-Arabien
629 ~ United Arab Emirates
740 ~ 745 - Central America
All 480 Codes are Made in the Philippines.
869 Turkey
Turkish products (cloths, kitchenware) We buy in france are quite good.
