A country known for plenty of spyware and iOS hacking tools. Interesting indeed.

(I didn’t draw any conclusions.)

I did. Israel is with North Korea at the bottom of the list of countries I'd do business with.

In fact, it's worse: my problem with NK is with its leadership, as I don't have anything against its citizens. I can't say the same for the state of Israel. May they reap what they've sown.

Aside from your par-for-the-course extremists, I’m sure plenty of Israel’s citizens are decent, good people. Same as everywhere else.

If you remove the unbelievably criminal leadership of Israel, you’re left with a perfectly reasonable country. Same with North Korea.

Sure, but my point is that there are a number of Israeli tech businesses that are morally loathsome, it's not just the people in power.

Ah, right. Okay, I agree with you. Not sure why that is, but it’s true that they do have that going on.

Just in case people don't know Bright data is formally Luminati proxy. They are well known for doing shady things...
