Israel is a high tech hub. Hopefully some new advances can come out of this collaboration that make us all safer.

Doesn’t that sound somewhat similar to hoping pharmaceuticals strike partnerships with African warlords to test what could one day be some new amazing drug. It just sounds grossly unethical so as to directly extract profits from intentional human harm on a large scale.

I suspect I would feel completely different about this if the Israeli military weren’t currently in a conflict indiscriminately killing dozens or hundreds of civilians as collateral damage in pursuit of single targets, or if they weren’t intentionally and illegally taking land from people in an area that isn’t a conflict zone at all.

I can understand why you would feel that way.
