(Bloomberg) Calev Ben-David - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday visited the Ohel Moishe Synagogue in Shanghai, which once served 30,000 Jewish refugees, and thanked China for sheltering Jews during World War II. "Today we have a state of our own, an army of our own. We need not beg to be saved. We can defend ourselves," he said. Netanyahu is in China until May 10 on a trip meant to open the Chinese market to Israeli companies and press for tougher action over Syria and on Iran's nuclear program.
