Wow, Israeli's spying on their main sponsor?? Espionage is part of the political territory but hopefully this sets precedent to a change of optics. (Which probably not since Russia does it boldly for fun at this point).

Nobody claimed in the article that this is a case of Israel spying on the US. That would be quite a jump.

But it’s only one or two steps removed = Israeli company, acting with the approval and protection of the Israeli state, enabled and facilitated spying on the US by a third party.

The world is only one or two steps removed. Israel is acting under the approval and protection of the US ==> US was spying on itself /s

There's a big, big difference between acting against your ally, and irresponsibly proliferating technology that's used against them. cf. France's Exocet sales and the Falklands, though much lower impact this time.
