message: == Importance ==
I have read the expression many times, in the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Jerusalem Post. It is a very notable phenomenon, see e.g. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/090e5dd2-e88e-11db-b2c3-000b5df10621.html 193.49.170.6 12:38, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I disagree - the article is very similar in terms of what it refers to as the Silicon Valley article.--Flymeoutofhere 07:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  But Wikipedia is not a place to suggest/promote/use new terms, even if such terms make perfect sense. Please try to provide additional references to show that the term is not a neologism. Yevgeny Kats 13:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Also just take a look - there are articles for Silicon Valley, and Silicon Fen - how much more notable would this be?--Flymeoutofhere 15:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Importance 

message: "Emek HaSilicon" means Silicon Valley (it's the direct Hebrew translation of the phrase Silicon Valley). Silicon Wadi in Hebrew is simply סיליקון ואדי Silicon Vadi, the point of the pun being that Wadi is a Hebrew word which sounds a bit like valley.
...That is, to the extent that the phrase is used at all in Hebrew conversation/text. Like other Israeli commenters above, I have never heard the words "Silicon Wadi" used in Israel, only in foreign newspapers, and I suspect it began with some Israeli's personal joke which an Economist or Forbes reporter took for a widely used term. However, the phenomenon itself is certainly notable. 192.115.83.5 (talk) 17:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect Hebrew Translation 

message: I think this section does not belong here. Maybe as a link in "see also".
Palestinian High-tech is not part of the subject and its sources do not make this connection.
Only in one of the two sources Silicon Wadi is mentioned, only as something that is located within an hour's drive. “WarKosign” 12:12, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
