问HN：加沙战争是否对HN圈子产生了影响？
我很好奇HN社区的其他成员是否感受到了加沙战争带来的连锁反应——无论是直接还是间接的。
在以色列，这场战争引发了明显的学术人才流失，外国学生和合作伙伴纷纷撤回与以色列机构的联系（《哈雷茨》）。在科技领域，影响更加显著：数千名员工已迁往国外，尤其是美国，投资以色列初创公司的资金也急剧下降。一些风险投资公司现在要求以色列公司在以色列以外注册，以降低潜在的风险（《卡尔卡利斯特》）。
与此同时，全球科技公司内部的紧张局势也在加剧。内部抗议活动——尤其是在谷歌和微软等公司——引发了人们对以色列专业人士的看法，以及政治立场或国籍是否开始影响招聘、合作或职场文化的质疑。谷歌最近因员工在其与以色列的云合同问题上进行静坐抗议而解雇了28名员工（《维尔吉》），微软在活动人士占领其总裁办公室后也面临封锁（《纽约时报》）。
同样重要的是，巴勒斯坦专业人士和支持巴勒斯坦的人士可能面临自己的挑战。在某些情况下，表达团结或批评可能导致职场紧张、声誉风险甚至工作不安全。对于我们这些仅仅在网上观察发生的事情的人来说，也会受到影响。这可能会影响我们对历史冲突的看法。这些动态复杂多变，因地理和公司文化而异，但它们是更大背景的一部分。
对于在科技、学术或投资领域工作的人：
- 你们是否注意到以色列或巴勒斯坦同事的待遇发生了变化？
- 迁移趋势是否影响了你的团队或招聘决策？
- 内部文化是否因战争或相关抗议而发生变化？
- 在这场“战争”期间，你们的看法是否有所改变？
非常希望听到创始人、工程师、研究人员和投资者的看法——特别是那些与以色列、巴勒斯坦有联系或在全球分布团队中工作的人。

I'm curious whether others in the HN community have felt ripple effects from the Gaza war—either directly or indirectly.<p>In Israel, the war has triggered a noticeable academic brain drain, with foreign students and collaborators pulling back from Israeli institutions (Haaretz). In tech, the impact has been even more pronounced: thousands of workers have relocated abroad, especially to the U.S., and investment in Israeli startups has dropped sharply. Some VCs now require Israeli companies to incorporate outside Israel to mitigate perceived risks (Calcalist).<p>At the same time, there's growing tension within global tech companies. Internal protests—especially at firms like Google and Microsoft—have raised questions about how Israeli professionals are perceived, and whether political affiliations or national origin are starting to affect hiring, collaboration, or workplace culture. Google recently fired 28 employees after a sit-in protest over its cloud contract with Israel (The Verge), and Microsoft faced a lockdown after activists occupied its president’s office (NYT).<p>It’s also important to acknowledge that Palestinian professionals and supporters of Palestine may be facing their own challenges. In some cases, expressing solidarity or criticism has led to workplace tensions, reputational risks, or even job insecurity. For many of us who are just observing what is happening online there is also an impact. This can shape how we feel about the historical conflict. These dynamics are complex and vary widely by geography and company culture, but they’re part of the broader picture.<p>For those of you working in tech, academia, or investing:<p>- Have you seen changes in how Israeli or Palestinian colleagues are treated?<p>- Are relocation trends affecting your teams or hiring decisions?<p>- Is internal culture shifting in response to the war or related protests?<p>- Have your opinions changed over the course of the 'war'?<p>Would love to hear perspectives from founders, engineers, researchers, and investors—especially those with ties to Israel, Palestine, or working in globally distributed teams.<p>== sources ==<p>Academic brain drain from Israel
