an active war zone that happens to be home to a couple million people. why not tech, what else should they do for work? programming seems like a good fit, since you don't need heavy equipment that could be blockaded or blown up, or crops that could be razed. I'm honestly impressed that people are still trying to work despite running low on generator fuel and fleeing several air strikes a day.

I’m not claiming they have a better option, just the reality of the situation. Ideally they could work on some peaceful compromise to end the conflict, but perhaps they will have more luck trying to start a tech unicorn than achieve peace with Israel.
