The Masterworks ad does not add to the credibilty of the video.

[@gregoryandyuliakaplan7505]

You also have to add that from these 50 percent of working haredim, the vast majority work in religious education and religious services. As such, they do not produce anything for the society and country, and, in fact, these "working" haredim are the same burden to the taxpayers working mostly in high-tech as haredim who don't work at all.

[@topicsfavorites4859]

Sorry, you missed, misread and omitted a lot of things, which led you to incorrect analysis and conclusions, which would also mislead your viewers: Background about me: I'm a secular Israeli 1. What the protests are really about is a war against religion, and an attempt to overthrow the government, which the left considers illegitimate and afraid of the elected officials due to the scare campaign of the media (they just don't accept the election results so they turned to fascist means to force their will). It has nothing to do with judicial reform, which the leaders of left themselves campaigned for them in the past and are on video for it. It's just a cover up, internally and internationally, for the real motives and goals of it. The reform would only strengthen our institutions, the public trust in them, and also the tech sector eventually, as well as lower the cost of living (the court and the monopolies/billionaires protect one another to preserve their interests on the expense of the common citizen). 2. The information about 70% of tech companies considering moving their money abroad is complete nonsense bogus information produced for political motives. Ever since the judicial reform our media and journalists, they have gone over the deep end, and became completely unreliable with the information they churn out. They spur the protests and generate them themselves, and were manufacturing fake economic articles, every single day, grabbing to anything they could and overblowing it out of all proportions, for scare tactics and in order to influence the israeli public opinion as part of a comprehensive propaganda campaign, which wouldn't shame efforts such as the russians. 3. Haredis don't live off the government as you claimed. You mentioned 50% of the men working, which is something like 30% difference from the secular sector, yet you omitted that 90% of their women work which as high as in the secular sector. Haredis get some minor stipends for having children, which is applicable equally to any family who need support for additional kids, and get some reduction in taxes for property tax and income tax, since they are low income families, which, again, is applicable the same for any low income family. They don't live off the government, they just live in modest and poverty conditions. They pay taxes like everyone else. Our media which try to present them as "leaching" off the government and the public is just anti-Semitic. Don't fall into this trap. 4. The slowdown in the tech sector this year is only temporary and part of a global slowdown in VC investments around the world. The Israeli tech sector already showing signs of recovery and still in a better position relative to other locations around the world. 5. Haredis are bright people and the religious studies give them skills to learn and absorb data like no other. It's what sustained the Jewish people for generations, not secularism, in which you put your trust. They are bookworms with phenomenal memory and logic skills. In one to two year they can complete all secular subjects, which took 12 years to complete in the state educational system (which is falling apart btw), if they so choose. Besides that, they are already showing signs of modernization and opening up their education curriculum to secular subjects, and with an increasing desire to incorporate into the job market. There are also many haredi who become secular later in life and only nourish and supplement the secular population. 6. The high birth rate of Israel, and within the haredis especially, is the ENVY of the entire world, at about 3 births per woman, which gives Israel the most healthy populating pyramid, pretty much anywhere you would look, while all other countries are basically collapsing demographically, which would lead to economic collapse as well. 7. The cost of living here is not so hard as it's presented. The most glaring way to see it are the haredis, that still manage to sustain large families (7 in average) and still manage to sustain all of them, own their homes, even while many of the men study most of the day, and still manage to live comfortably enough and happily (and not due to gov's stipends). Israel was ranked 4th happiest country in the world just recently, and not for no reason. You can still buy here food for cheap, comparable to many other country in the world, even places like brazil, from what I have noticed. You can still buy here cheap apartments in the north, the south and judea and samaria for as little have half a million shekel, and bcz the country is so small and compact, the "remote" locations aren't that remote anyway from the centers of commerce, and in a few decades there are already in the works plans for railway lines that would connect all those parts from north to south. The real estate market abroad, in many countries, is much more cut throat in comparison. In addition, due to the newly found gas fields, we're also energy secured (we're something like 3rd in the world in per capita gas reserved), and energy prices also have better prospects here than much of the rest of the world. Telecommunication prices are lowest in the world. Water we produce more than we need, and independent of rain, so also better than the rest of the world. Rent is also not that expensive and you can find adequate enough places for $800 or perhaps even cheaper. 8. Israel also has very strong sectors in defense, pharmaceuticals, diamond cutting, gas/renewable energies and tourism, as well as making it as an up and coming transportation hub with the new railway deal from the arab gulf to the port of haifa, which was announced just recently, so it's far from being just the tech sector as your video portrayed. 9. you portrayed that israel survived based US support before the 90s which is again nonsense. The US applied 15 years embargo on Israel once the country was funded, and only after the peace agreement with Egypt in 1979, as a compensation for relinquishing the Sinai peninsula back to Egypt, is when america started pumping some relatively significant money, to the amount of about 2 billion per year, which only came as military aid, anyway, and not as economic aid. The German holocaust restitution payment was also insulting and extremely low (3 billion marks over a period of 14 years). Apparently Germany till this day still owes the state of Israel 18 billion, since they took over the debt of east Germany after reunification, which was never paid so far. 10. The only growing conservative population of israel (reverse trend from the rest of the world), which rejects progressivism, wokeness, and liberalism, all the ills which the western world today is plagued from, while reconnecting with God and with their roots, would only also make the nation of Israel stronger and more united than ever, at a time when the rest of the world is crumbling away bewildered and confused. 11. With the increase of antisemitism in the US, the day is not far, where they would have nowhere to escape to but to Israel. This would then again create an unstoppable flow of money and immigration into the country. Israel actually has everything going for it economic wise and also societal wise (the trends are positives).... so I don't know what "dark side" of the economy you saw, which doesn't exist in fact, besides the imaginative figments of the feverish media which paints everything black purposefully, yet have no idea what they're talking about. I'm very optimistic about the future in this country. I found the information quite incomplete, lacking, misrepresenting and falling to the trap of the sensationalized media headlines, which have little connection to reality and to future predictions and understanding of our society. I'll suggest you do a do-over in your next research.

[@ecoideazventures6417]

Thanks for this insightful update. So you mean it's like Saudi Arabia without the oil?!

[@gregoryandyuliakaplan7505]

@@ecoideazventures6417 In many aspects yes. There are still good universities here and a good hi-tech industry, but 70% of startups are already taking steps to move somewhere. Apart from that, everything else is like Saudi Arabia - religious dictate is everywhere even in state schools and this dictatorship is becoming worse and worse everyday. State-religious and purely religious schools are even worse because pupils where do not study anything else apart from the Torah. Even the majority of shops have to pay for a kashrut certificate to rabbanuth, which is one of the reasons why Israel is so expensive.

The haredim issue is indeed the most problematic one. As an israeli I don't know if I want to bring children in this country as I don't see a healthy tregectory here at all. All of the issues you mentioned are true and important and enough reason to doubt israel and that is even before we talk about the wars and the "mitnahlim" (usually religious) which is the secular left-wing-ish name for the expansions that are happning in the west bank and are supported by our current government. For those wondering, the closest translation of the word is "infesters" and the economical thecnical core of the country does not support that element.

[@jcliu]

It feels like Israel was not only wasting all its time trying to make peace with the Arab monarchs, but also turning itself into a shiny Gulf state-where a huge segment of the citizenry lives as pampered wards of the state in exchange for political quiescence. Problem is, Netanyahu’s golden goose for funding this was tech and human capital…which is far more capable of flying off than oil or natural gas.

Most of these developments are built by Haredim and for Haredim, so I don't know what you're talking about. It looks to me that you just hat Haredim.

There are a few flaws / oversights. 1. Israel has been a start up incubator since way before the 90s. Predominantly in agricultural tech, water irrigation, solar energy, and later communications. 2. You underestimate the ability of Israel to put out fires and solve immediate burning existencial issues. 3. There are many haredis that leave their religious lifestyle for a secular one. 4. The army plays a constant key role in pumping out talent and knowledge. It’s not private sector investment 5. Those people and companies leaving are doing so in protest and would happily come back. You underestimate the value of “being home” as opposed to emigrating and starting anew. The current situation is Israel going thru growing pains. Rather that it being “the end” it could just as easily be a transition into a new way of doing things with new social contracts between the religious and secular, rich and poor, institutions, govt, and even the Palestinian neighbors.

1. It wasn't a startup incubator, the innovations in agriculture were not an industry, and it was mostly stuff to allow farming in bad conditions. High tech as a major industry started to be significant in the 80, what allowed that is capital investments in the industry. 2. This point is without content or value. 3. Not enough, you can easily see that the ratio of Haredim is increasing over time, and Israel becomes more religious over time, not less. 4. The amount of people serving in technological units is pretty small, not to mention that the problem Israel may face is the lack of oppotunities and jobs and not lack of talent. 5. Why would they come back? there is no reason so far that the trend that makes Israel more religious, less liberal, and just more hateful in general will stop, because it's based on demographics. It will not be "the end", it will just get worse over time until Israel become like Iran, a religious, poor shithole, shunned diplomatically and with totalitarian regime.

The majority of workers are said to be "not part of the tech sector in any way," while the file footage illustrates by coffee shop workers. But coffee shops in the tech sector regions are profiting from the wages of tech sector employees, as are many other services and products. These may not be as lucrative as tech sector work, but it is still an economic benefit to others. Also, automation is reducing employment in most fields to varying degrees, so the issue of how to do consumer-driven economics with fewer people earning much disposable income from wages will need to be addressed economy-wide very soon.

Thank you, excellent video

[@idonov8]

(I'm an Israeli tech worker) This is a very well made video but I think you completely missed the reasons for Israels becoming a startup Nation. 1. The Russian immigration would be a good boost to the economy, if it wasn't for a huge cultural and language gap that the immigrants had to get through. Most of the educated immigrants had to settle for a low paying job in the beginning because of this, but I can accept that their culture of education did contribute a lot in the long run, mainly through the 2nd generation. 2. The graph you showed about military budget going down is only talking about % of GDP and it compares the worst years of Israels economy to its best years. It mearly shows that Israels economy grew, the military budget is still the second highest expense of the government, after education. The third one is interesting and I guess true. You missed how the mandatory army service is a big contributing factor in educating tech workers, many of the startups here are founded by people from intelligence units with only military experience! Now it's like a rolling snow ball, there is a huge startup culture here, and even during the war hundreds of websites are going live to help with various challenges that the government isn't solving.

Shortly after this video was released, the horrible October 7 attack around Gaza happened, and that has galvanized more Haredim to volunteer either directly in the IDF as soldiers or to help the war effort that has been underway since. The Haredim, even before October 7, have started to integrate more into Israeli society (albeit in dribs and drabs); that has accelerated since then. This has been one example of the silver lining of the greater integration of Israeli society post-October 7.

[@Olliebobalong]

Im British, and it stems from WW2 that "government knows what's best, because they got us through the war, so they should run everything" thats the simple explanation as to why the public sector until the early 80's (until Thatchers election victory) grew so vast. The government would put out PSA's during the 50s and 60s as to what distance you should have your furniture apart from each other in your living room. The British public had a total love affair with their own government, because of the trauma WW2 ensued. 70s UK was known as the "sick man of Europe" where state owned and run energy, utilities, transportation, heavy industry etc was constantly on strike, productivity was through the floor, bin collections so infrequent that rubbish was pilled as high as houses are tall, rat infestation in major cities, they even rationed electricity for rolling blackouts and dictated only 4 inches of bath water to preserve gas. Everything, or most things, were privatised through the 80s and 90s, during which the same time, the UKs economy recovered and then some. Those who cry for nationalisation of key industries fail to look at how that went before; regulation, and the guaranteed income from government irrespective of your quality or work and performance is an inherently bad design. While privatisation isnt perfect, it's a damn site better than the alternative. A Happy medium is a healthy amount of regulation, conception rules etc.

The biggest problems: 1. Unresolved Palestinian question: Israel will never have peace and security until Palestinians are given peace and security, either in their own viable country under a "Two State Solution", or Israel give them all equal citizenship in a "One State Solution". On present course, Israel will soon be viewed as the pariah of the world, not just by the Global South, but also increasingly by Western countries, who can no longer deny that Israel is now an Apartheid State directly comparable with pre-1994 South Africa. 2. Demographics: the video did state towards the end of the demographic demise of secular Jews, and their replacement by the Haredim. This could also set off a bitter internal political conflict, involving everything from nation culture, taxes, economy, defense, etc. Countries to fall apart internally more often than due to external pressure. Israel's internal contradictions, which it cannot easily resolve, may very well be the reason for its ultimate demise as a nation state.

[@blueyZee]

The Palestinian question is a westerner's question. The woke leftist that believes in an oppressor-oppresses situation in every conflict. Palestinian are by no means the oppressed. They should choose peace and have meaningful negotiations with Israel. We know that Israel can negotiate as it traded Sinai for peace with Egypt. Israel has managed to reach where it is despite all the terrorism by them.

The grim future prediction is just another out of multiple grim future predictions that have been made throughout the years. The political stuff has been there forever, the video doesn't actually go into it as much in order to clarify the specifics which do in fact make a difference and as to do with lower productivity demographics like Haredim and Arabs, there's a small barrier to getting a significant amount of Haredim into the workforce and the secular Jews just don't want to do it, because it involves lowering the age exemption in the army, which is unfair. But it would probably work, especially considering people who are unmotivated aren't any good for the army anyway or secular Jews complaining about religious people in the army. Damned if you do or don't situation. As for the Arabs, the issue is the lack of exposure to the academic world and the unchallenging conditions given for affirmative action where many of them end up not doing well in studies due to the low expectations of the challenge.

Take into account that USA pours billion of dollars every year. The settlers are rich immigrants from USA and other western countries. Plus the Israeli lobby in the US filthy rich and own a fat share of wealth. So Israel is concentration of pure wealth.

[@blueyZee]

Be serious, the aid US gives Israel is military aid and most of it goes back to Lockheed Martin and friends in form of weapon purchases. Also the amount US gives Israel per year is around 30bill, that's 0.06 of their GDP. Netanyahu himself has said that they don't need the aid but they appreciate it. Also, I believe that it would do Israel good if they just said no to it and make their own weapons since it is basically the equivalence of the US holding them by the balls. That's why most decisions Israel makes (in the war) are run with the US first. Here's an example, you and your rich friends always eat out and every time they pay. You appreciate it but it's not like you'll starve if they don't pay for you.

Good point about the form that Israel should take. I am talking about the difference between a modern secular state and a nationalistic, religious one. I have always been a supporter of Israel, but this has come with a feeling of unease on its basis. The current controversy over the judiciary, specifically the Supreme Court, is traceable to the fact that Israel does not have a written constitution. Having a court that can block legislation when there is no governing document is just plain silly. The UK is finding this out as well. The founders of Israel, especially Ben-Gurion, resisted the development of a constitution. The reasons were not explicitly stated, but one can guess.

[@topicsfavorites4859]

Sorry, the video missed, misread and omitted a lot of things, which led him to incorrect analysis and conclusions: Background about me: I'm a secular Israeli 1. What the protests are really about is a war against religion, and an attempt to overthrow the government, which the left considers illegitimate and afraid of the elected officials due to the scare campaign of the media (they just don't accept the election results so they turned to fascist means to force their will). It has nothing to do with judicial reform, which the leaders of left themselves campaigned for them in the past and are on video for it. It's just a cover up, internally and internationally, for the real motives and goals of it. The reform would only strengthen our institutions, the public trust in them, and also the tech sector eventually, as well as lower the cost of living (the court and the monopolies/billionaires protect one another to preserve their interests on the expense of the common citizen). 2. The information about 70% of tech companies considering moving their money abroad is complete nonsense bogus information produced for political motives. Ever since the judicial reform our media and journalists, they have gone over the deep end, and became completely unreliable with the information they churn out. They spur the protests and generate them themselves, and were manufacturing fake economic articles, every single day, grabbing to anything they could and overblowing it out of all proportions, for scare tactics and in order to influence the israeli public opinion as part of a comprehensive propaganda campaign, which wouldn't shame efforts such as the russians. 3. Haredis don't live off the government as you claimed. You mentioned 50% of the men working, which is something like 30% difference from the secular sector, yet you omitted that 90% of their women work which as high as in the secular sector. Haredis get some minor stipends for having children, which is applicable equally to any family who need support for additional kids, and get some reduction in taxes for property tax and income tax, since they are low income families, which, again, is applicable the same for any low income family. They don't live off the government, they just live in modest and poverty conditions. They pay taxes like everyone else. Our media which try to present them as "leaching" off the government and the public is just anti-Semitic. Don't fall into this trap. 4. The slowdown in the tech sector this year is only temporary and part of a global slowdown in VC investments around the world. The Israeli tech sector already showing signs of recovery and still in a better position relative to other locations around the world. 5. Haredis are bright people and the religious studies give them skills to learn and absorb data like no other. It's what sustained the Jewish people for generations, not secularism, in which you put your trust. They are bookworms with phenomenal memory and logic skills. In one to two year they can complete all secular subjects, which took 12 years to complete in the state educational system (which is falling apart btw), if they so choose. Besides that, they are already showing signs of modernization and opening up their education curriculum to secular subjects, and with an increasing desire to incorporate into the job market. There are also many haredi who become secular later in life and only nourish and supplement the secular population. 6. The high birth rate of Israel, and within the haredis especially, is the ENVY of the entire world, at about 3 births per woman, which gives Israel the most healthy populating pyramid, pretty much anywhere you would look, while all other countries are basically collapsing demographically, which would lead to economic collapse as well. 7. The cost of living here is not so hard as it's presented. The most glaring way to see it are the haredis, that still manage to sustain large families (7 in average) and still manage to sustain all of them, own their homes, even while many of the men study most of the day, and still manage to live comfortably enough and happily (and not due to gov's stipends). Israel was ranked 4th happiest country in the world just recently, and not for no reason. You can still buy here food for cheap, comparable to many other country in the world, even places like brazil, from what I have noticed. You can still buy here cheap apartments in the north, the south and judea and samaria for as little have half a million shekel, and bcz the country is so small and compact, the "remote" locations aren't that remote anyway from the centers of commerce, and in a few decades there are already in the works plans for railway lines that would connect all those parts from north to south. The real estate market abroad, in many countries, is much more cut throat in comparison. In addition, due to the newly found gas fields, we're also energy secured (we're something like 3rd in the world in per capita gas reserved), and energy prices also have better prospects here than much of the rest of the world. Telecommunication prices are lowest in the world. Water we produce more than we need, and independent of rain, so also better than the rest of the world. Rent is also not that expensive and you can find adequate enough places for $800 or perhaps even cheaper. 8. Israel also has very strong sectors in defense, pharmaceuticals, diamond cutting, gas/renewable energies and tourism, as well as making it as an up and coming transportation hub with the new railway deal from the arab gulf to the port of haifa, which was announced just recently, so it's far from being just the tech sector as your video portrayed. 9. you portrayed that israel survived based US support before the 90s which is again nonsense. The US applied 15 years embargo on Israel once the country was funded, and only after the peace agreement with Egypt in 1979, as a compensation for relinquishing the Sinai peninsula back to Egypt, is when america started pumping some relatively significant money, to the amount of about 2 billion per year, which only came as military aid, anyway, and not as economic aid. The German holocaust restitution payment was also insulting and extremely low (3 billion marks over a period of 14 years). Apparently Germany till this day still owes the state of Israel 18 billion, since they took over the debt of east Germany after reunification, which was never paid so far. 10. The only growing conservative population of israel (reverse trend from the rest of the world), which rejects progressivism, wokeness, and liberalism, all the ills which the western world today is plagued from, while reconnecting with God and with their roots, would only also make the nation of Israel stronger and more united than ever, at a time when the rest of the world is crumbling away bewildered and confused. 11. With the increase of antisemitism in the US, the day is not far, where they would have nowhere to escape to but to Israel. This would then again create an unstoppable flow of money and immigration into the country. Israel actually has everything going for it economic wise and also societal wise (the trends are positives).... so I don't know what "dark side" of the economy you saw, which doesn't exist in fact, besides the imaginative figments of the feverish media which paints everything black purposefully, yet have no idea what they're talking about. I'm very optimistic about the future in this country. I found the information quite incomplete, lacking, misrepresenting and falling to the trap of the sensationalized media headlines, which have little connection to reality and to future predictions and understanding of our society. I'll suggest you do a do-over in your next research.

All price will be related with rate of inflation, higher the price means higher also inflation rate on such country, even Israel got fully economy support from Us and EU, but their inflation rate is quite high due to massive military campaign and other unsustainable economic policies, government don't have the establish road map for economy sustainability, internal frictions inside political party, and it will become severe in near future.

Don’t shill financial products that people can lose money on.

This is another comment by an Israeli that confirms that the contents of this video correspond very well with reality.

Everytime I heard the word Israel, I feel sad about the palestinians kids and women killed everyday. The world should stop this 😢

Economic miracle you must be joking. It’s decades in billions in US aid to a small county the size of Puerto Rico.

[@tonybanks1035]

foreign aid doesn't make a country economically productive. Specially not when donating a small fraction of their GDP. You should take economy classes

[@CryptoCryoto]

@@tonybanks1035 if it’s so productive why does it relay on the billions the United States sends every year? A Jewish lobby in Washington is the only reason they even survive. Getting around 2.3 billion a year doesn’t sound very productive to me.

@@tonybanks1035 A productive county does not need foreign AID in the billions

[@tonybanks1035]

@@CryptoCryoto you can pour billions inside a country this will not make your country more attractive to investors. What motivates all major High Tech actors to open R&D labs in Israel is the sheer quality of their engineers and scientists coupled with the right economic policies. And that my friend, no amount of foreign aid can produce

@@tonybanks1035 No billions from the US Israel goes bye bye they can’t survive without it.

It is true; Israel have higher gdp per capita than Germany and Sweden. However I haven’t heard any famous Israel brand whereas Germany and Sweden has tens of very world famous products. What are Israel products?

[@asaf919]

Well, not IKEA or Mercedes-Benz, but mostly tech companies you can find in Nasdaq or purchased by the biggest tech companies in the world. Google it. I won't be surprised if BMW/Bayer networks are protected by an anti-virus owned by an Israeli company (checkpoint, wiz, Palo Alto and many more). This is just one example...

[@kfireven]

Hummus, you like?

[@igalzvi]

do you know a small company called intel? it manufactures a lot of its processors in Israel. Used a disc-on-key? Israeli invention... icq, waze, playtika, wix and a lot more, just google it

That's why they are so desperate and wanted Saudi Arabia to recognize them, so they can doing business with big economic countries that they not penetrate.
