Israel is very friendly towards startups. Launching from here is definitely an option, albeit not an optimal one.

I can very much understand that Israel's physical and cultural distance from SF can pose a problem. Do not underestimate the importance of being physically close to customers and partners - not to mention VCs.

Also there's the fact that your tax dollars will very likely be paying to demolish Palestinian homes and blow up Palestinian schools and burn people a live with White Phosphorous.

If you start a start in Israel, you will be losing money because (quite like) there's an international boycott on Israeli goods.

Incorrect, irrelevant, and close-minded.
