Seeing PG slowly turn on this issue, from nothing into recognition and now into advocacy has been wild. Presumably because he has kids, and like many parents you understand with your eyes first, and then your heart.

PG wields some amount of power in SV, but YC and others are still inextricably tied to what's happening. Thiel was just in Israel with elad gil, rabois, alex karp, joe lonsdale. It's just too much to list.

I guess my point is when does recognition turn into action.

It would not. What's happening in Gaza is the end result of decades of systematic policy.

If Israel ever intended to some day have peace, they would recognize that Palestine is a country (like the majority of the countries in the world does).
