      Just the founder of CircleCI listing some uncomfortable facts such that you instinctively derive the best resolution to it.

      > dissolution of Israel I mostly read that as Paul calling for the head of tyrants, which is a positive thing for any country. If you read that as "dissolution of Israel", are you presuming Israel won't survive without its tyrants?

    Yes, this is pretty much a conspiracy theory. There is little to add because you did not say anything substantial, but I also believe you cannot leave statements like these without a comment.

Unit 8200 as an incubator for tech startups is well-reported: https://www.calcalistech.com/tags/Unit_8200 https://www.calcalistech.com/tags/Unit_8200 The security complex intertwined with "hitech" and economy is well-tracked: https://www.calcalist.co.il/market/article/jh6p1lmcb https://www.calcalist.co.il/market/article/jh6p1lmcb The intention of its most popular leaders to expand existing territories is well-studied: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2537218 https://www.jstor.org/stable/2537218

  Because Israeli intelligence freely and brazenly spies on civilians from allied countries, maybe https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/29/international-criminal-court-israel-spying-intimidation https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/2... I certainly wouldn't trust a startup with IDF/Mossad connections with my data.

      Citation needed. Otherwise, it's a smear. Again: 100 percent, you said.

        I'm assuming the logic is 'Israel has mandatory conscription, so every citizen has IDF ties', which feels like a bit of a stretch even if it's technically true.
        • jedimind 2y ago
          It's not a stretch at all - especially when Israelis love to brag about it, but when called out on it, they deny at all costs. The mandatory military service, which you mentioned, where most israeli citizens serve in the IDF, will naturally lead to connections between tech and the military. There is also technology transfer i.e military technologies may be adapted for civilian use by startups e.g. Cybersecurity, AI, that's why the israeli military funds even civilian startups especially when they are "Dual-use technologies" i.e. technologies that have both military and civilian applications It's also common sense to not trust startups in a nation where genocidal[0] sentiment has prevailed. So you can see many israeli "civilian" businesses[1][2] assist & whitewash the genocidal onslaught willingly & enthusiastically.
