I’m kind of confused, in that Israel is not that big in terms of population, about 10 million people; how much data and cloud do they need?
The state of Pennsylvania is 13 million; would MSFT losing PA do them serious financial damage?

- dang 5mo agoI know that a highly charged topic leads to all sorts of rushed conclusions, but you can't assume that a post not being flagged means the moderators saw it and decided to let it remain here. On the contrary, we don't see most of what gets posted to HN.

- j_maffe 5mo agoWhen you're doing mass surveilance, including storing every single phone call, of a population of 6 million people, storage needs tend to pile up quite fast.

- 0xbadcafebee 5mo agoIsrael is essentially fighting wars on multiple fronts at all times. Since they are so small and vulnerable, they have to lean more on intelligence. As a result they have the most advanced intelligence apparatus in the world, far beyond US intelligence for example. Part of their intelligence strategy, clearly, is advanced use of technology & data collection/mining/analytics. So they're gonna end up with a lot of data.
- za3faran 5mo agoThey're mass surveilling the vulnerable Palestinians they're genociding, and now turning their eyes toward Lebanon and Syria.
- raxxorraxor 5mo agoWhich is mostly on Lebanon and Syria, because they are the aggressors here. Or in case of Lebanon the largest militant group known to exist. Perhaps they aren't the largest any more since the latest war, but they are still formidable.
- za3faran 5mo agoNo they're not the aggressors. Let's stop with the victim blaming.
- raxxorraxor 5mo agoHezbollah is an Iranian supported schiite fundamentalist militant group effectively controlling the south of Lebanon. Syria declared war on Israel right after its founding and it rejected multiple peace offerings since. They are anything but victims.
- za3faran 5mo agoThey are the victims. Hezbollah did not exist before the occupation. And Syria has the right to defend their neighbors against foreign invaders. https://www.reddit.com/r/israelexposed/ https://www.reddit.com/r/israelexposed/
