[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Pick virtually any advanced technology or scientific field and there's at least one lab or company right at the cutting edge in Israel. This country has very little natural resources, a small population, has been sanctioned and blockaded in one way or another since day one, so it was an obvious choice to heavily invest into education, research and high-tech manufacturing. That's why the gap in capabilities and standard of living between Israel and its neighbors has been ever widening.

It's very much comparable to Taiwan in this regard and the end result is similar: You're likely owning a whole lot of devices with tech from both countries (at the very least tech based on patents from there) or have been unknowingly using it in some other fashion.

All of this took smart minds many decades to build up. Unfortunately, Netanyahu is squandering his nation's potential with his selfish and criminal recklessness.
