Just a small part of the biggest spy network ever invented, which is woven into practically all software and tech infrastructure we use in the West and backed by large corporations with ties to that small country.
- v5v3 1y agoYes. Surprised they allowed a zero click exploit to be exposed for what appears to be low value targets.
- ThinkBeat 1y agoThat means they have a big bin of zero click exploit ready for use. This one was probably getting old so someone finding it wouldn't mean much.

- edanm 1y agoIsrael is powerful, but also has powerful enemies. That's entirely consistent and happens to be entirely true. And yes, Israel is a tiny country, both compared to almost all its enemies, and just objectively - it's one of the smallest countries in the world.
- msgodel 1y agoI think people would care a lot less if we didn't end up involved so often.
- dttze 1y agoI was calling out the parent for acting with incredulity to someone saying that Israel has a vast spy network. One that is routinely bragged about in Israel by Israelis.
- edanm 1y agoYou're right, but the parent wasn't saying Israel has a vast spy network, they said Israel has the "biggest spy network ever invented, which is woven into practically all software and tech infrastructure we use in the West [...]". That goes far beyond the realm of reality and parent is right to ridicule it. Israel has (presumably) a pretty great spy network, but mostly around its immediate enemies. It's certainly much smaller than many other countries' spy networks, I imagine.

A joke from 1930's Nazi Germany: "Two Jews are sitting on a bench in Nazi Germany. One of them is reading the local Yiddish newspaper. The other is reading Der Sturmer, a Nazi propaganda paper. The former says to the latter, “Why on earth would you read that antisemitic drek?” The other replies, “Well, when I read the local paper, we are a poor and battered people who suffer in ghettos, pogroms, and all manner of tragedies. But when I read Der Sturmer, we run the banks, the governments, the whole world – life is great!” " I got a feeling things are going to get really ugly soon, dejavu germany in 1930 but with more powerful propaganda tools.

- immibis 1y agoThey're the same picture. Most states are indistinguishable from terrorist gangs.
- dji4321234 1y agoWestern state agencies and mid-tier bootleg spyware vendors are neutral at best and antagonists overall. At best, bootleg spyware vendors drop exploits which agencies can reverse and use for their own purposes. But in general, these vendors bring unwanted attention and burn exploits which the state agencies would like to use. These are not part of a global conspiracy, they are competing groups with the same goals.
- hersko 1y agoSo if a company in country A sells military arms to country B, country B is now part of country A's military network. Is that how this works now?
- giraffe_lady 1y agoIt certainly has some explanatory power so depending on what you're trying to understand about these hypothetical entities, yes.
- westpfelia 1y agoWorks now? Thats how a customer base works.
- hersko 1y agoA customer base means you are part of their military network? Really?
- pessimizer 1y agoI have no idea what you're trying to say. The network of vendors to the military is part of the military network.
- cjpartridge 1y agoAnd even when said small country are gifted "defense" technology, they go and sell it to the gifter's (supposed) enemies. Why do you need enemies with such "friends".
