I wouldn't call Israel Europe - it's a night and day difference from Europe, plus that undercuts the Sephardim, Mizrahi, Druze, and Israeli Arab contributions to Israel. Also, buses actually works in Europe :p But yes, the startup scene is strong in Israel, and that's thanks to the Israeli diaspora in SV and Boston funding startups in Israel in the 2000s - especially Nir Zuk of Palo Alto Networks and much of the team at Akamai.
