"When I see how organizations and non profits currently try to fight the BDS movement on campuses across the country, I feel bad for them. They pour hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars on pointless arguments, trying to prove the other side is wrong. 

 Have you ever seen someone losing an argument, and all of a sudden becomes a supporter of a matter just moments ago he fought against? of course not!

 The only effect such heated debates have is creating echo chambers of like minded people who already think the same. I see it as a total waste of money, time and energy."

In less than 3 years, Lior has created the largest Israeli-American Tech Community in New York, bringing hundreds of attendees to his events. 

 ISNYC is building a bridge between Israeli & New York tech scene, and its events focus on Israeli startup and entrepreneurship success stories and presenting everyone (Jews and non-Jews alike) how they can foster and implement the Startup Nation mentality and mindset in their life.
