| Online scamming and malware are Israel's most cherished national industry, they've been specializing in this stuff for nearly 30 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Download_Valley > Download Valley is a cluster of software companies in Israel, producing and delivering adware to be installed alongside downloads of other software.[1] The primary purpose is to monetize shareware and downloads. These software items are commonly browser toolbars, adware, browser hijackers, spyware, and malware. Another group of products are download managers, possibly designed to induce or trick the user to install adware, when downloading a piece of desired software or mobile app from a certain source. > Although the term references Silicon Valley, it does not refer to a specific valley or any geographical area. Many of the companies are located in Tel Aviv and the surrounding region. It has been used by Israeli media[2] as well as in other reports related to IT business.[3] Getting an Israeli extradited is almost impossible, their in-group ethnic bias is so strong that they even fight the extradition of rapists. The Israeli government would rather see a jewish rapist escape justice in Israel than face justice in a gentile nation. Extraditing some businessmen who merely scam and destroy people's computers? Fat chance in hell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malka_Leifer_affair https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-jewish-american-pedophiles-... |

| Could the same not be said about the US? I suspect it'd have a different spin put on it. |

| ▲ | ipaddr a day ago | parent | next [-] | | No the US has no issue with extradition. | | |
| ▲ | kakacik a day ago | parent [-] | | I am having extremely hard time believing this, I don't mean that on paper chance exists but out there in real world, especially with current government. Checking for 2024 the number can be counted on all fingers and toes and all were special high profile cases. US has a law that they will invade International court of justice if ever any US personnel is tried there (ie for war crimes, that one would be easy to pull on thousands of US citizens). That's the US mindset against other jurisdictions. Israel would be an exception of course. | | |

| ▲ | anonym29 a day ago | parent [-] | | You're kidding, right? Boca Raton, FL has been widely recognized as the spam capital of the world for decades, and has nothing to do with ethnicity or religion whatsoever. Eastern Europe is known for being a den of cybercrime groups, and Russia is known to turn a blind eye. China is widely known to cooperate with domestic cybercriminal actors. Non-jewish geographically concentrated threat actors are openly discussed all the time. The difference is that none of these places operate as legal safe havens for child sex predators. | | |

| ▲ | tdeck a day ago | parent [-] | | Hey now. Isn't it more likely that the cops spent months preparing this sting, caught the suspect red handed and arrested him, got a confession from the suspect in an interview, and everyone involved just honestly completely forgot to take his passport or impose any sort of travel restrictions? |

| Based on your wiki almost all of those are from 2010 era and shut down long ago The US has always had a number of grey market scammy businesses like those too. Lots of countries do. |

| https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/israeli-official-plea... this alleged sex offender just appears remotely for his court appearances lol. I wonder if he will attend prison remotely too? Maybe an RC robot will serve his sentence and he can look out the bars through a camera and VPN from Israel. |

| Israel is gonna have a really big PR problem as the boomer generation ages and dies. |
| |
| ▲ | Cyph0n a day ago | parent | next [-] | | They already have a major PR problem and are scrambling to fix it. What they don’t - or don’t care enough to - realize is that given the enormity of the crimes they committed (heck, still are committing!), nothing short of accountability and justice will help cleanse their reputation. | |

| ▲ | anonym29 a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | It's too late to matter. Try finding someone under 30 who isn't already a zionist that has anything positive to say about Israel. It's like pulling teeth. | | |
| ▲ | Nasrudith a day ago | parent [-] | | Given how loosely zionism is defined that is pretty much a tautology. There is no definition of zionist in use here, it is just vibes based 'reasoning'.
Zionist is rhetorically used to maintain their political bubble. They cannot say if for instance a moderate and nuanced opinion ("October 7th was legitimate causus beli -but blocking aid is a hard crossing of the lines.") is Zionist or not. Let alone statements like "Israel has a right to exist." qualify. There is plenty of motte and bailey to go around and the truth has already been buried in an unmarked grave. | | |
| ▲ | anonym29 a day ago | parent [-] | | On what planet is Zionism loosely defined? Go ask young people - Zionism is support for the existence of an Israeli state. Outside of Jewish and Zionist Christian circles (which make up a tiny minority), virtually everyone under 30 can be lumped into the "not a fan of Israel" camp. The only question is a matter of degree. A third of them think Israel was too heavy-handed in the response to 10/7. Another third are cheering for 10/7 and chanting "from the river to the sea". The final third are quiet about it in person, but behind pseudonyms online, are denying the holocaust while simultaneously asserting that jewish people deserved it. Seriously, go talk to people under 30. Jewish people are in for a very rude awakening as the loudest non-Jewish defenders of Israel and of Zionism, the boomers, die out. This is absolutely not an endorsement of antisemitism, or of violence or threats of violence being directed at anyone, which is always wrong, but if I were Jewish and living in the US or western Europe, I'd already have started making plans to flee/escape. Just because what is happening is morally wrong doesn't mean it isn't happening. | | |
| ▲ | mikkupikku 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | I do believe you're right. As the American babyboomers die out, Israel is going to find itself without any allies. Young people are through with them. |
