Wix is not a state-run company, is it? It seems reasonable to me to be able to distinguish between "Israel, the government/state" and Israelis.


To some degree, during periods of relative peace, yes.

But could you point out any large Israeli companies which are any sort of "neutral" in the current Israel/Hamas war?

Or any large Ukrainian company which is okay with employees voicing pro-Russian sentiments?

Or any large American company ... in the year or so after the 9/11 attacks?

Or any large Indian ... during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1965?

Or any large British ... during WWI?

This really is not a new thing.


This is a bit different than the cancel movement and nation states at war, but sure there are parallels.

Having a bunch of rich dudes having secret meeting on who they should fire/mess up next really sucks.
