    The scary part is they very much may just do that. NSO Group is based outta Israel, it’s honestly terrifying. The man has much larger balls than some may realize.

      Just do what? It sounds like you’re saying they’d hurt the journalist but the only context available makes it seem like you could be talking about the onion headline.

      Edit: Did a little reading, fuck they’re scary.

        IDK about this group in particular but at the moment Israel holds the record for most journalists murdered in wartime.

          There’s 2 reasons for that:

          • They’re attacking one of the most densely populated areas in the world

          • They’re committing a genocide - when they want to wipe out the entire population, journalists are going to get killed in their indiscriminate attacks.

          They’re far-right too, so they’re a half-step from flat out executing dissenting journalists (and how are journalists in Palestine likely to be aligned?).

            Isreal has a database of all the people living in Gaza as well as their places of residency. Most (if not all) of the prominent Palestinian journalists have been killed in their homes, along with their families, in strikes using smart munitions during the first few days of the “war”. It’s giving Isreal too much credit to say they weren’t specifically targeted.
