  1. Ewww, gross

  2. Why not invest in the US? This is not a political comment, I want to know the reason. Does Israel have weak labor laws or access to slave labor, or some other method to maximize profits?

  3. Given Israel's cyberterrorism and hacking/spyware industry, what is the benefit of producing foundational hardware for computer systems and networks in Israel? Is it Intel's new "Pegasus(TM) ready" line of chips?

I mean the big reason is probably that Israel literally gave them money for it, but yeah they also have cheap Palestinian labor because it's totally not apartheid state.
