I think Israel should exist. So I’m a Zionist and therefore persona non grata, even if I disagree with much of what Israel has done? If so, that is a very interesting and hard line perspective. Perhaps people should conclude you are a Jew hater and a racist based on this evidence alone?

I’m sure your customers would find this interesting. Do you disclose your position to them before they agree to do business with you? Are you also refusing to do business with them or unilaterally canceling existing contracts if you learn that they too believe that Israel should exist?

You do know what “or vice versa” means, right?

Yes.

You know your comment about business fundamentals is a non sequitur right? The comment you were replying to had nothing to do with that or the point of view of venture capitalists with regard to entrepreneurs.
