By Robert Lakin| Seeking Alpha@ You could be forgiven if you’ve not looked lately at the biggest Israel exchange-traded fund, iShares MSCI Israel ETF (NYSEARCA:EIS). If you tuned out from Israel-domiciled stocks following the start of the country’s war in Gaza, what you may remember is the 8% decline between Oct. 7 and the beginning of November. But in tuning out, you’ve missed a 40% run up in the ETF price, narrowly edging past the S&P 500 Index 32% rise since then.
