Ah, text file encoding problems!

What is the character encoding of the CSV file?  Are the bytes in that 
file indeed in the Windows-1255 encoding? Or are they perhaps in UTF-8?

It is important that the Import Encoding which you select match the 
actual encoding of the file you are importing.

I hope this is helpful, and not too self-evident.
