What’s striking is how often these ‘small’ surveillance tech stories trace back to the same state-aligned ecosystem. When Israel does it, it’s treated as a complex security issue. When another ‘bad’ country does the same thing, we immediately call it espionage. And almost on cue, the discussion drifts anywhere except the uncomfortable fact that it’s the same ecosystem from the same country showing up again.

> Israel as a country is aligned with Western values

Western values include, among other things, a commitment to equality and human rights, not apartheid[1] and genocide[2].

> a wikipedia page on Western values

Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_values

Since the wikipedia page also mentions individual liberty and rule of law, let me also link to this topic:
