WhatsApp takes on Zionist Israel’s hacking culture


On April 29 the Guardian reported “new court filings that an Israeli spyware company used US-based servers and was ‘deeply involved’ in carrying out mobile phone hacks of 1,400 WhatsApp users, including senior government officials, journalists, and human rights activists.”

The new claims about NSO Group allege that the Israeli company bears responsibility in serious human rights violations, including the hacking of more than a dozen Indian journalists and Rwandan dissidents.

“For years, NSO Group has said that its spyware is purchased by government clients for the purpose of tracking down terrorists and other criminals and that it had no independent knowledge of how those clients – which in the past have reportedly included Saudi Arabia and Mexico – use its hacking software.”

Israeli spyware companies are notorious for cooperating with autocratic regimes to crackdown on political activists, journalists and NGOs.

Even though Israel tries to camouflage its assistance to dictatorial regimes as “IT business,” the world is becoming more and more aware of Zionist Israel’s immoral activities.

In January 2020, Amnesty International called on Israel to cancel the export license of NSO for its cooperation with autocratic governments.
