    "There are many world leaders who'd take the exact same action"

    Noooooooooo...tell me which world leader WOULDNT take that course of action.

    "I see no benefit in this case in supporting a nation that has done nothing for the West at all. In fact, all interactions between Israel and the rest of the world are almost entirely with Israel's best interests at heart and to the detriment of everyone else"

    I cant believe you are either so dumb, so blind or blindly dumb as to make such as dumb comment

    Educate yourself, you bigot

    • World's smallest video camera – a camera with a 0.99 mm (0.039 in) diameter, designed to fit in a tiny endoscope designed by Medigus.[21]
    • Pillcam by Given Imaging, the first Capsule Endoscopy solution to record images of the digestive tract.[22][23] The capsule is the size and shape of a pill and contains a tiny camera.[24] Created by Israeli engineer Gavriel Iddan[25] who sold the company to Irish medical device maker Covidien for $860 million.[26][27][28] Iddan has expressed regret for the sale due to the companies fulfillment of an ancient Jewish prophecy “The Pillcam was based on military technology... It was a good example of how we shall beat our swords into plowshares", as the Hebrew prophets predicted.[29] Covidien was acquired by Medtronic in 2016, and is now the provider of Pillcam.[30]

    • The Tomaccio cherry tomato was developed by several Israeli laboratories, the dominant ones being those led by Professor Nahum Keidar and Professor Chaim Rabinovitch [he] from the Agriculture Faculty of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Rehovot Campus.[156][157]
    • Watergen - an Israeli company that develops products that generate high quality drinking water from air, without needing a source of water such as a well, river, stream, ocean etc.[158][159][160][161][162] Watergen products are being used worldwide,[163] including in Hamas controlled Gaza Strip,[164] Colombia,[165] and Native American communities.[166] Israel recently signed a deal with the UAE to license Watergen technology.[167] Watergen won the CES's Best Innovation Technology Award for its technology.[168][169][170][171]220px-Solarboiler.jpgRooftop solar hot-water system
    • Drip irrigation systems – The huge worldwide industry of modern drip irrigation all began when Israeli engineer Simcha Blass noticed a tree growing bigger than its neighbors in the Israeli desert, and found that it was fed by a leaking water pipe. Netafim, the company founded in 1965 to commercialize his idea, is recognized as the worldwide pioneer in smart drip- and micro-irrigation. It has revolutionized the agricultural industry.[172]
    • Hybrid cucumber seeds – In the 1950s, Prof. Esra Galun of the Weizmann Institute developed hybrid seed production of cucumbers and melons, disease-resistant cucumbers and cucumbers suitable for mechanical harvesting. Galun and his colleagues invented a technique for producing hybrid cucumber seeds without hand pollination.[173]
    • Grain cocoons – invented by international food technology consultant Professor Shlomo Navarro, the GrainPro Cocoons provide a simple and cheap way for African and Asian farmers to keep their grain market-fresh, as huge bags keep both water and air out, making sure the harvest is clean and protected even in extreme heat and humidity.[174]
    • Biological pest control – invented in Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu by a company called Bio-Bee, it breeds beneficial insects and mites for biological pest control and bumblebees for natural pollination in greenhouses and open fields. The company's top seller worldwide and especially in the U.S. is a two-millimeter-long, pear-shaped orange spider that is a highly efficient enemy of the spider mite, a devastating agricultural pest.[174]
    • AKOL – a Kibbutz-based company which gives low-income farmers the ability to get top-level information from professional sources.[174]
    • Mirtra – a Tal-Ya Water Technologies agricultural technology invention. A unique, patented polypropelyne Mitra system that covers the plant's root system, directing water and fertilizer directly to the root, while protecting the earth around the root from weeds and extreme temperatures, reducing the need to water crops by up to 50 percent. It also reduces fertilizer needs by 50% and functions as an alternative to herbicide (weed-killer).[174][175]
    • "Zero-liquid-discharge" system – an invention of the Israeli GFA company which allows fish to be raised virtually anywhere by eliminating the environmental problems in conventional fish farming, without being dependent on electricity or proximity to a body of water.[174]
    • TraitUP – a new technology that enables the introduction of genetic materials into seeds without modifying their DNA, immediately and efficiently improving plants before they're even sowed. It was developed by Hebrew University agricultural scientists Ilan Sela and Haim D. Rabinowitch.[174]
    • Judean date palm – oldest seed ever to be revived, restoring an extinct cultivar.

    Energy[edit]

    • Super iron battery – A new class of a rechargeable electric battery based on a special kind of iron. More environment friendly because the super-iron eventually rusts, it was developed by Stuart Licht.[176] of the University of Massachusetts.[177]
    • The world's first gas turbine solar thermal power station, by Israeli company AORA
