On a more practical level, why???? It takes an enormous amount of ultra pure water to make a micro chip. There is a worsening water shortage in that area. This is the worse place to do this. Also if you built it in the eu, you have easy access to a huge market and ready customers. Also the Middle East is constantly immersed in war. If Iran wants to really hurt Israel just start blowing up Nvidia. On a purely practical level, this is really stupid. So the only explanations are politics, or they are being paid to do this. As to whom engineered this I have no idea. Edit: The more I dig into it, the more this looks like evil bond villain shit.

  • Lot of Zionists in the Nvidia board and staff trying to tie the worlds most valuable company to the Apartheid state. They want Israel to be a strategic asset like TSMC.

    NVIDIA doesn’t manufacture chips at all (TSMC in Taiwan makes NVIDIA’s chips), so this facility would presumably be for R&D, marketing, devising the next scheme to screw everyone over and increase share value, yada yada.

    The chips are made in Taiwan (TSMC), this is likely for chip designers, (and marketers and executives and sundry other hangers on of little worth), water is irrelevant. Evil on the other hand...

    > If Iran wants to really hurt Israel just start blowing up Nvidia. That'd be a great way to get either Maduro'd or more likely Iraq'd unfortunately. War on nvidia is war on Trump.

  • They aren't going to manufacture there. Chip manufacturing happens almost exclusively in Taiwan. That new building is just an office to design those chips. A lot of maths goes into designing computer chips. You need an army of highly trained mathematicians and engineers for that. And Israel is a really rich country that gets a lot of gifts and "investments" from people who want to show they aren't antisemitic. They invest a lot of that money into the education of their citizens. Israel's universities are some of the best in the world. While US universities are on a steep downhill.

    Israel is at the forefront of water purification tech. As long as they have energy they can make water.

    Maybe they can use salt water for it? If they have to desalianate it one would think that would be a dealbreaker. Tis a good question you ask. Why indeed. Just currying favor with the group that controls the superpower I suppose, what with the child fucking tapes Israel has on the president and a critical mass of politicians in the US and UK, and businessman and other swells. And whatever other blackmail. I can't think of any other reasons, other than currying favour with Israel.
