"Google chairman Eric Schmidt was in Israel last week, pleasing the crowds at a Tel Aviv conference by praising the engineers that come out of the 'tech miracle' and saying that Google's development centers in Israel are among the company's most efficient. &amp;quot;We love Israel,&amp;quot; he said, drawing applause from the audience.\r\n\r\nToday, he took to social network Google+ to talk about the &amp;quot;high-tech revolution&amp;quot; that is happening in the nation.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;After a long trip through the Asian trouble spots, Israel felt very peaceful, and very much like Silicon Valley,&amp;quot; the Google executive writes.\r\n\r\nPleasing the crowds once more, he reiterated that Google's Israeli engineering and sales teams' achievements are &amp;quot;definitely world-class&amp;quot;.\r\n\r\nSchmidt correctly points out that the military service helps Israelis become &amp;quot;more focused, better trained and more organized&amp;quot; and says the country's recent push in cyberintelligence will result in many new network security startups, in particular.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We should expect much more investment in high technology in Israel, and many more startups as the next generation of the Internet unfolds,&amp;quot; Schmidt adds.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Many countries leaders want to replicate the phenomenal success of Silicon Valley. Israel is one example of what it takes.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
