Israeli flag @ Blue Bay Hotel_0511As Passover is here and spring as sprung, we thought it was a good enough reason to collate all the recent blogosphere buzz on Israeli start ups. A small counrty with lots of tech, Israel caught some headlines in recent weeks, questioning its mojo. From Sarah Lacy’s provocative piece, to the compliments from the Economist, below are the headlines that caught our attention.
