The whole Israeli state is morally bankrupt, but that doesn't mean that Israeli software developers doesn't have any responsibility themselves. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and should at least try to act ethically.
I can't say I know where the line is. For example, would it be unethical to work for Facebook? I don't know and I don't think so. Working for an online casino? In my opinion yes, but others would disagree. Writing software that is used by authorities to hack activists cell phones? Absolutely! It's so far beyond the pale that I can't fathom how anyone could defend it.
