Startups, smears, and speaking up: Hillel Fuld gets real about Israel - #0012
Description
This week, I spoke with Hillel Fuld, an American Israeli business technology advisor.
A lot of you are probably already familiar with Hillel. He's got a large social media following online where he talks about all things Israeli high-tech, Startup Nation, Zionism, but also Israel's fight with Hamas.
Importantly, he's also fighting for its reputation as it struggles to gain sympathy among young people.
I wanted to speak to Hillel about a bunch of things. Honestly, we could have spoken all day. But we limited it to Israel's tech sector and also the fight online against ‘anti-Zionism’ - which, as many of us know, is often a dog whistle for antisemitism.
We spoke about some of the media personalities in the space and how they've tackled the conversation surrounding Israel. Notably, Piers Morgan and Joe Rogan’s recent episode with Dave Smith and Douglas Murray.
We also spoke about Israel's tech sector and what the anti-Zionists may be missing when they think of Israel.
Those calling to boycott our country underestimate the presence that Israel has in shaping the technology of our world.
I hope you enjoy.
