That's my understanding too. Funding is not really an issue, 8200 has one of the biggest budgets in the army but they are bound to the law and regulations, NSO on the other hand can pass the lines and keep Israel uninvolved

Interestingly they look and behave quite similar even today as one can see in southern Israel, some replaced camels with an old beaten Subaru 4x4 but they still used tents, grow animals and wear traditional clothes

Isn't it the same for software developers with bad managers or companies with bad cultures? I'm a senior tester among other things and was never shot or fired, if anything I help teams understand that testing is a team's task

Is there free choice in modern democratic societies? Not at all, the state decide for you on abortion, marriage, car safety, gun usage and even what medications can get used (pseudoephedrine is not sold in Sweden!) so why not prostitution i

No, Society (well, Sweden in this case) is against prostitution and want to eliminate or at least minimize it. It's the same with drugs laws or illegal downloads- criminalization of this side or another is just tactics, in this case to

#6 is simply a bank protecting itself, how would they differentiate a legal sex worker from a human trafficker? maybe in a country where some kind of prostitution is allowed they could show a certificate but not in Sweden. #4 is simply a fu
