I dont think its the "tech community" being okay with this application of the tech as much as it is fear of standing up to Israelis in any way. Imagine you own a infosec company and an applicant with excellent skills applies. You look at the CV in detail before the interview and you see that they proudly declare their NSO background. Tell me what will you do? Cancel the interview? How comfortable would you be to deny the applicant a job for that reason alone? I would wager the majority would consciously hire them out of fear of blowback and most of the remainder would unconsciously suppress their opinions on the NSO.

Nah. Joining NSO or such displays a moral "flexibility" and/or a lack of judgement that pretty much precludes the individual from taking on significant responsibility. Imagine having a business handling privacy relevant data and when someone asks about your stance on data security you have to admit you hired people who are okay with keeping the whole planet insecure for their own benefit. I know, I know, in my more cynical moments I see it your way as well. But that doesn't make it right.
