I don't know what Google intends by support, but if it were me I certainly wouldn't invest in Israel.
The amorality of it aside, Israel is also a huge intellectual property and espionage risk.
Check out "Spy Trade" by Grant F Smith as an example reference (links below).

- mikle 14y agoI still haven't seen your links but I think you are somewhat misinformed by seeing only one side of the issue. Israel (specifically Tel Aviv) is the biggest startup ecosystem outside of Silicon Valley. Do you really think that it got there by being un-investable or espionage risk? And on the flip side, do you not think that the US is even a bigger espionage risk as it has probably the largest Sigint operation (the NSA) in the world? Edit: After seeing it is a one hour lecture I instead spent 5 minutes googleing the uploader - IRmep. IRmep is not a fair and balanced organization. It is obviously anti-Israel with its statements on twitter (https://twitter.com/IRmep https://twitter.com/IRmep).
