If you want to _really_ bar anything of Israeli origin, you should:

- Not use Intel processors, as many are developed in Haifa

- Not use a firewall. It was invented in the IDF.

- Not use Waze. It's Israeli.

- Not use thumb drives. Invented in Israel.

- Not eat cherry tomatoes. Israeli development.

The list goes on and on, but I must add - if you ever suffer a serious head or stomach injury, tell the medics to not use the Israeli bandage.

Considering the political context around Israel it is clear that cherry tomatoes being an Israeli development (apparently) is completely irrelevant here.
What does any of that have to do with GP not wanting israeli spyware on his smartphone? Maybe your mention of Waze is tangentially related but that's about it?
Exactly, I unistalled Waze once I knew it was Israeli, as well as avoided about a dozen of VPN providers acquired by ex-Mossad led Kape Technologies
Let me guess, you think shawarma and hummus are also Israeli inventions. It's insane you are trying to pass off firewall as an IDF invention on hackernews. How wildly inaccurate and tone deaf.
