The WaPo has reported that an Israeli software firm, with the apparent approval of the government, sold a program called Pegasus to a number of foreign governments, whose characters range from the increasingly illiberal to the brutally thuggish. These regimes then used the program to spy on their opponents, including journalists viewed as being hostile. The company denies any wrongdoing.
My question is, do you find it difficult to believe that Netanyahu would license this kind of anti-democratic activity? And is it impossible to imagine that Trump would do the same thing, and even use the program on his own domestic opponents?
Of course not. That’s who they are.
