Isreal’s main exports are cutting-edge technology found nowhere else in the world. Russia’s main export is oil. Western and European Union countries were fine getting their oil elsewhere, but they absolutely do not want to give up advanced tech. Especially since there will always be other countries that don’t care and will continue trading anyway.

Israel ain’t Taiwan. What tech do you think is indispensable there?

Bioscience and Military tech are also fields Isreali companies excel at.

I often hear of Bioscience “breakthroughs” from Israel which amount to nothing but hype.

What military tech apart from Iron Dome? (which protects against crappy home made rockets)

It’s security software - firewalls, VPNs, that sort of thing. It’s not that it’s not available anywhere else, but the Israeli stuff was always considered among the best before this conflict kicked off.

It’s also weapons. Many of which are sold as “battle tested” because they were tested in Palestine.

Mostly software based tech. Israel is leading in the field of “legal” spyware for example.
