Reading about the Modi regime’s hacking of journalists and opposition politicians, the story again comes back to Israel’s NSO Group and its Pegasus spyware. Even disregarding the atrocities in Gaza, it’s really quite stunning that the U.S. government gives Israel such oodles of cash and support without getting it to shut down this private spy agency that undermines the security of Apple, Google, and Meta’s core products while handing sophisticated spying tools to the most oppressive governments around. Future generations will look at U.S. kowtowing to Israel and shake their heads.
