hese two slides should scare the $%^&* out of the Israeli Government, Chief Scientist, Entreprenuers, VCs and Economists.


Israel
must invest in innovation in order to come out strong on the other side of this financial crisis. Israel is well position to do that but without continued investment in research, innovation and tech infrastructure, it will not happen. If early stage funding dries up, there will not be late stage opportunities in the future. It could be that this is merely a rightsizing of the Israeli VC industry (which is probably needed) but to me that first graph looks like a cliff, not a diet.

The problem is that American Jews became more interested in their pet social projects like Moveon.org over Israeli innovation funding. It is time for Israel to acknowledge it’s need for Diaspora Jews and to respect their input. In the same respect it is important for American Jews not to dictate what is good for Israel’s safety anymore. It is obvious that the community artery has been broken

Boxer, the top Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said that the recently released e-mails, showing scientists allegedly overstating the case for climate change, should be treated as a crime.
“You call it ‘Climategate’; I call it ‘E-mail-theft-gate,’” she said during a committee meeting. “Whatever it is, the main issue is, Are we facing global warming or are we not? I’m looking at these e-mails, that, even though they were stolen, are now out in the public.”
and the lesson is that we should prosecute Hackers for exposing the fact that our government is exposed in a multi Billion dollar theft. She’s angry that they were caught? Those hackers are heros. The government and those scientists worked togther to intentionally con us into believeing the biggest scam of the century based on lies to make us pay for breathing…
and she is angry about HACKERS? oh noes! throw them off facebook and twitter. These people could be worse then the theJIDF.org lol. The powers that be don’t like it when the people stand up against hypocrisy.
