Gib, maybe you knew this and maybe you didn't, but here is a factoid I've always found to be interesting.
Since the founding of Israel, there have been embargoes & counter-embargoes between those prohibited from selling to either Israel or the old Arab League, which sort of morphed into the arab portion of OPEC, and which today is an interesting collection of arab nations (some of which really do not like each other) that still co-identify when it comes to Israel. These embargoes covered virtually every kind of manufactured product.
Relevant to your post, through all of this Subaru has been the single Japanese auto maker that stuck by Israel during times when the rest felt compelled to choose the arabs.
Subaru's market share in Israel (and frankly, the affection many from there have for Subaru's in general) should not be a surprise.
Perhaps you intended the irony of Ana Mari driving a Subaru while bowing to the Israel protests earlier in the Gaza fighting. But if not, I thought it was worth a mention.

Anybody that doesn't drive a Subaru is kind of - well - stupid. 20+ years, 5 Subarus and counting. My current Legacy will be my last car.
