What if you are born and raised in Israel and you've watched Hezbollah carry out terrorist attacks for the past 40 years, would you maybe not be motivated to work for an Israeli firm who claims to make software that helps fight terrorism?

I'm not saying that's what everyone's story is at NSO, but I also don't think that company is full of soulless software engineers who skipped out on humanities classes.

Hezbollah didn't exist 40 years ago.

As someone who was raised in Israel - your idea of how Israelis think of working in high-tech is a figment of your imagination.

Hezbollah sent VBIEDs to the US Embassy in Kuwait, French Embassy in Kuwait, Kuwait Airport, Kuwaiti Power Plant were all bombed in 1983, so 37 years ago, sorry, I rounded up an entire 3 years.

So par for the course for 90% of the comments here.

How do stereotypical Israelis think of working in high tech?

What if you grew up in a communist state and watched the network of secret police and neighbor spies regularly bully and make people disappear when they heard anti-party, anti-authoritarian, and otherwise unconforming viewpoints?

"Everyone" never falls into any one category anywhere, but are you somehow suggesting that the engineers at these organizations are somehow exceptionally more in tune with ethics and the humanities than the rest? Because we are deficient across the board.
