> Because Israeli intelligence freely and brazenly spies on civilians from allied countries

Everyone spies on everyone. Does Israel have a law like China's which mandates coöperation? It was my understanding they have a forcefully independent judiciary.

That may have been true ten or fifteen years ago, but is extremely not true today.

...yes?

From the content of your comment, it seems you're not not up to date on the development of Israel's internal government structure and balance of separation of powers, which has changed a lot over the last five years. But from the tone of your comment, it also sounds like you're going for a snarky dismissal rather than a good faith discussion, so I'm not sure talking about this further is going to do much good.

> There was an attempt at "reform" that was crushed by their supreme court, because that's how their government works.

That's actually not the whole story, but regardless, judging by the tone of your responses here and your recent comment history, I don't think any discussion here on this topic is going to be fruitful.


This means we should use national solutions and services instead of someone's else.


"Everyone spies on everyone" isn't an argument in favor of using companies with known ties to the military or intelligence, though...
