You have this strange assumption that people are supposed to find something wrong with surveillance projects.
> Working on surveillance projects is rather embraced and you even receive strong social support for it.
That's right, because there's nothing wrong with it.
> So I don't get how do you compare it to the US!
Because I'm not comparing surveillance projects, I'm comparing modes of speaking.
> Whereas in the US you would have a hard time to convince people to work on surveillance projects and even then often people end up having a hard time with their moral values even when they are not directly doing anything wrong.
Because it's quite obvious to the ordinary Israeli that surveillance projects save lives, so obviously they would want to work on it.
The US isn't under quite the same level of attack, although it's far from clear there is supposed to be something wrong with it in the US either.
