I grew up without privilege. While I wasn&#x27;t &quot;dirt poor&quot; my parents and grandparents were. Two of my grandparents lost everything when they were kicked out of their homes in Gaza City in 1929, and the other two were kicked out of their homes in Belarus in 1915.<p>Because I am Jewish and an Israeli citizen, I am hated by most of the Liberals in Silicon Valley.<p>Yet, I managed to succeed.
