So I guess for you the same rules would be for Swiss, Danish, Brazilian, Greek and many others that also have mandatory military service?

Nope. It's particularly Israel that's a problem. They mismanaged their security apparatus on October 7th, if they can't defend their own, why should they be part of our security apparatus?
I guess you missed the part where people don't get to choose where they were born, and in the case that where they were born has mandatory military service, whether they are part of that.

This is the same stereotyping that leads to the worst kinds of racism.

I don't believe people who have served in foreign intelligence agencies should be given keys to the entire US video apparatus.

Doesn't matter which country. This is opsec 101. Nothing crazy here.

Go read section 889 of the John McCain act. etc...

Considering that the government legally cannot manage this, it sounds like you are advocating for this whole camera network to be dismantled due to the danger of how it might be used in the wrong hands? That's also a valid take.
I'd put Israel in the same category as Russia and China. Swiss aren't opposed to American values, and certainly don't have their hands in Epstein Island blackmail American system attacks.
Yes but that is the country, not the individual that didn't choose to be born there and also didn't choose to do military service there.
