Israel keeps being dick earns reputation.

Based on responses from roughly 46,700 people assessing 129 countries, Israel ranked as the most negatively perceived country worldwide, ahead of North Korea, Afghanistan, and Iran. The most positively viewed were Switzerland, Canada, Japan, Sweden, and Italy.

We don't sanction Israel because we are doing it too. Any country with the same capabilities are doing the same thing.

We sanction plenty of other countries where we do the same thing we're sanctioning them for.

That conflates the state with a business headquartered in it. It begs the question of what the sanctions would be for: is the argument that this firm is an arm of Israel, that Israel turns a blind eye to abusive businesses, or something else?

Yes, obviously the state and this company are the same thing. Why would a private company spy on the ICC and the UN? I’m sure there are plenty of 8200 people involved.

That would be the most likely explanation if we knew the ICC and UN were targets, which we do not:

  A Discover-Tech ad impression does not in and of itself confirm targeting or infection with spyware.
That's from the study itself: https://citizenlab.ca/research/how-discover-tech-turned-targ...

> Israel is at war with the entire world right now

Israel is at war with Hamas, Iran and its proxies and allies.

IWI exports arms to Mongolia, so arguably they've picked a side.

That's not a state of war. So you have nothing to support the delusional claim that Israel is at war with the rest of the world as expected.

It's the pretenses for war. You asked for the state of war between Israel and Mongolia, and we answered.

In any case, Netanyahu's self-described "eighth front" is world-spanning and being (poorly) fought right now: https://www.timesofisrael.com/failing-on-the-8th-front-the-m...

Israel's engagement in worldwide information warfare is self-professed. You might not call it war, but Likud does.

I would say Israel using Jeffery Epstein to infiltrate Mongolia is a good example:

My Democratic Rep (who is a Zionist) voted with the Republican Party to financially sanction and impose visa restrictions on members of the International Criminal Court for issuing an arrest warrant for Netanyahu, so the ICC could hold Netanyahu for trial.

I will never vote for this particular (D) candidate again. Fortunately, the (L) candidate seems reasonable.

If indeed your representatives support Israel or the genocide in Gaza, I urge you to consider voting 3rd party. In two-party elections, candidates mostly just try to be a little better than their opponent. What forces them to do more isn’t a third party actually winning. It’s a real risk that enough fed-up voters will go third-party and cost them the election. This is basic game theory optimization.
