Because they are amoral pieces of shit who'll sell to dictatorships and use state export regulations as a fig leaf. Because they fight back, lobbying in an attempt at regulatory capture. Because of how many innocent people's phones their software has provably ended up on. Because it's so closely connected with state funded and trained hackers from Unit 8200. Because they lie, simultaneously denying involvement, yet, disabling the relevant accounts. Just a theory.
Follow the industry long enough and you'll know how Hacking Team (Italy), Finfisher (Germany), Gamma International (UK), smaller and larger firms have rightfully attracted their fair share of condemnation. Journalists pile on when a story gains momentum, this round was started by the published list of targets and Citizen Lab. We can't call this anti-semitism yet.
Defending it just because it's Israeli would be as unjustifiable as attacking it just because it's Israeli.
