Israel? Israel! Is real

The other day my friend, who lives in Israel, close to the Syrian border, far from the Gaza border posted on his blog that the real Israel is the STARTUP NATION.

Through Akosh's post I found out few things coming from Israel:

• waze - bought recently for US$ 1 billion by Google
• snaptu - bought by Facebook
• GSM
• SMS* (text message system)
• Bizzabo*
• Glide
• MobilEye
• GetTaxi
• Brow.si - cares for a mobile site's engagement levels.
• Fiverr
• Viber*
• MyHeritage

Those with bold letter are those I also use.
* these I didn't even know they were Israeli inventions

One commenter (Helene Kagan Arya) on Facebook wrote this, and I fully agree with her.

This is my message to ALL the haters of Jews and Israel, calling to boycott us. 
By all means, PLEASE do, but do it properly. First, unsubscribe and delete your hateful Facebook - because it was founded by a Jew! 
When you've done that PLEASE get rid of your cell phone because the technology was created AND PERFECTED in Israel. 
When you've done that PLEASE get rid of your computers as that technology ... you got it - was created AND PERFECTED in Israel.

And then PLEASE, if you are taking any life-saving medications PLEASE stop taking them - they probably were created by a genius Jew - maybe even in Israel!! If you want to boycott Israel, based in your anti-Semitic hate - DO IT PROPERLY, and leave the rest of us alone.

Okay, now go do what I said! QUICKLY NOW, you're wasting the rest of our time and energy with your ignorant hate.

And this is what IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) is telling us (you and me and the world) on July 17, 2014:

As a result of dialogue between the IDF and the UN, we will enable a humanitarian window in Gaza between 10:00 and 15:00. During this time, we will hold our fire in Gaza. This humanitarian window is meant to allow civilians to resupply needed goods. 
If Hamas fires rockets at Israel during this time, the IDF will respond with force.
