North Korean and Chinese hackers are soundly shunned but for some reason it's always a "company" from a pariah country like Apartheid Israel that are able to sell their software weapons to indiscriminately target any civilian from any country.
- Gud 1y agoIsrael is not a pariah but one of the US closest allies.
- JohnKemeny 1y agoIsrael is both a close U.S. ally and a pariah state in the eyes of much of the international community due to its policies toward Palestinians, creating cognitive dissonance for those who support democratic values yet continue to justify or overlook actions widely seen as violations of human rights. But not for you.
- Gud 1y agoSorry what? I’m not a fan of Israel, but clearly Israel is not a “pariah state” because you and I don’t like them.
- JohnKemeny 1y agoIt's not my claim. BBC and other news outlets are running stories stating that "Israel is becoming s pariah state".
- specproc 1y agoThe Prime Minister has been sanctioned by the International Criminal Court. Even close allies (e.g., the UK and France) are engaged in some serious backside-covering right now on their relationship with Israel. They know how this is going to end and they're now into doing the comms to make themselves look less bad when it happens. I'd say Israel is -- in terms of it's international reputation -- somewhere between where South Africa was in the eighties and Serbia was in the nineties, and deteriorating fast. Definitely on the pariah spectrum, particularly outside of the US.
- mandmandam 1y agoWorldwide, if you say "pariah state" people think Israel. If you don't think so, be warned, you are in a dangerous bubble.
