Attacking NSO would be like attacking the Israeli government and you don't do that because your PM's shitty OpSec was exposed.

The only overtly pro-nomatterwhat-Israel government is the United States so at most 1 of the 193 countries in the United Nations would avoid regulating NSO on international relations grounds.

That is not true at all. The US is just as critical of Israel as many other countries.

[sudosysgen]

This is actually one of the best reasons to hack another government.

Remember the Israelis also need allies.

[threatofrain]

Allies are allies because of strategic positioning, and many of Israel's proximal allies are authoritarian nations who have interest in this kind of technology. Israel's strategic value hardly shifted at all from this slate of embarrassing news.

The Israeli's have two allies of note, the US and Saudi Arabia. Everyone else dislikes to hates them.

The geopolitical clout of the US and Saudi Arabia are in decline.

Europe like them, kind of, many other gulf states, China, many african countries, I can go on and on
