Some are, most aren't. There are scammers and hucksters everywhere. It is always easier to scam people when they don't really know you, a fact that can benefit foreign start-ups in the US market.
That said, regarding Israeli companies, I personally object to Israeli companies that operate from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, such as SodaStream and Ahava Cosmetics. SodaStream is particularly bad in that it produces its goods using underpaid Palestinian labor but market's its products as made in Israel.
