TIL an intelligence agency spying on a foreign adversary is human rights abuse. I would be super upset if my country of residence did the same to a neighbor sending rockets my way, would make me sick to my stomach

Little slip of the mask here where we seamlessly transition from the perspective of an American working for an American tech company to someone living in a country neighbouring Palestine.

He didn't work for Israel, unless he failed to mention that this was not a USA job.

Israel is not the US and Palestinian civilians are not a "foreign adversary".

> a neighbor sending rockets my way, would make me sick to my stomach

Israel has been murdering Palestinians since Nakba. They literally eliminated whole cities in Gaza. I think that makes most people in the world sick to their stomach.

It is when it's an intelligence agency for a country that's actively committing genocide.

Answer a question for me: is the lesson you took from the Holocaust something like "if there are going to be holocausts anyway, I want to be the one committing them"?
