I just looked it up. In the normal MSCI World, the proportion of Israeli positions is 0.11% - and mainly banks. This means that all stocks actually fall through the screening.

@Sindscheddin das habe ich auch erst gedacht. Aber schau mal genauer hin:

@Sindscheddin In addition, the Israeli stock market is largely made up of "Information Technology" https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239663/ishares-msci-israel-capped-etf
It is quite a prejudice that the Jews are only money lenders 😘

@PowerWordChill First of all, thanks for the link. Then I was probably wrong with my statement and how I could have explained it. But it's quite a big thing from MSCI - I haven't yet found any explanation on the net or generally nothing about it.

But it's a shame that you're playing with this money-lender prejudice here. You could have saved yourself the trouble.

My approach was to call up MSCI World at iShares and then filter for the Israeli currency. And then I came up with this 0.11% and mainly banks. And I did it without any prejudice.

@Sindscheddin all good, it was more of a joke, I have to make fun of ALL religions, otherwise it would be discrimination 😉

@Sindscheddin Fun fact, Portugal should be included, but it's not. And was the only country to be completely screened out 😂 (as of 31.03.2024)
