Not all Israelis are Jews. Not all Jews support Israel. It's the de facto stance of the Israeli/Zionist regime to label anyone who dares criticise anything they do as antisemitic. Over many years, they've made criticism of Israel effectively taboo for fear of being labelled as antisemitic, which these days means you're basically a fascist, jew hating holocaust denier.
Israel has more UN resolutions condemning it's actions than any, or indeed all, other countries combined.

You would think, given their history, which they wheel out at every conceivable occasion, they would know better, but apparently that same history gives them a free pass to behave in any despicable and egregious manner they can think of, and they get away with it while the world looks the other way.

It's not antisemitic to criticise Israel. It's right and proper and should be encouraged and applauded by any person with any sense of morality or ethics.

No, it isn't antisemitic to criticise Israel. In fact nobody is more critical of Israel's policies than Israelis themselves. There's a saying that where there are two Jews there are three opinions. It's also true that more than 20% of Israelis are Arabs, who enjoy full rights like any other Israeli citizen.

Have you asked yourself why there are so many UN resolutions against Israel and none, that's zero, against Turkey for its treatment of its Kurds, or China for its treatment of Tibet, or many other countries deserving of "criticism"?

Given history Jews have learned more than you could ever know. "despicable" and "egregious" isn't "criticism". It's demonisation based on lies.

BDS, in the words of its founders, means the elimination of the only Jewish state on earth. If you support BDS that is exactly what you wish for. As Golda Meir once said, "Israel is the Jew among nations." Tell me BDS is not "antisemitic".

Yawn. The UN is a cesspool of ******** and corruption. When you have filth like Saudi Arabia on the UN Human Rights Commission your credibility is lacking. Israel has every right to fight back against the parasitical Palestinians that infest their country and exterminate them.

Apple will do whatever they can to stop the bad PR that is out of their control. By silencing these guys they gain control back of the messaging around cybersecurity.

I don't see this doing much to fix security. The best thing they could do is fix their problems in their bug bounty program and repair their relationship with security researchers who would rather sell the bugs back to Apple for fixing.
They're doing that, too, of course. Do you really think the lawyers can help with the coding?

This is the last I will say on this.

The UN did research on the health conditions of the Palestinians and found that, over the years of the Israeli occupation, their body morphology had changed. Their height had decreased, their body size had shrunk, their average birth weight had also declined. They were suffering from long term near starvation conditions, and lack of water. The effect was profound, over the decades. Now, try to find that research. It has been hidden from view now. At least I can't find it. The report made me sick. There was no denying that the occupation was having a profound negative effect on an entire race of people, and spanning multiple generations. I would hope that research paper is out there on the fringes of the internet somewhere. It proves the situtaion is far out of control, and is nearing genocide. But this isn't a political discussion. I won't post any more on this. It disgusts me so much...

I don't know how many moonlighting attorneys Apple is taking away from their development teams to work on this, but I suspect they can do both.

I think bug bounties only go so far. Plus when some corporations aren't paying much for blockbuster flaws, some have lost the desire to spend the time reporting things. *shrug*

Palestinians do not enjoy full rights at all.

Please find me that statement from BDS founders.

Golda Meir: It was not as if there was a Palestinian people in Palestine and we came and threw them out and took their country away from them. They did not exist

Israel has existed for more than 3,000 years!
No, contemporary Israel exists today because of the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population, over 700,000 women, children, and men

lots of small minded comments by those who fail to understand that it is our division that lets our governments control us. You fail to hold those in power accountable because you are fighting and blaming others. Be it other religions, races, the poor, the unemployed etc. meanwhile big business pays no tax by lobbying elected officials.

ROTFLMFAO! ?

Israel has existed for more than 3,000 years!

“Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the Right Honourable Gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were priests in the temple of Solomon.”

- Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) Prime Minister of the U.K. 1874 until 1880.

The land has existed for thousands of years. Israel as a country came about in the 20th century

How many successful exploits against Apple products were:
1. Apple previously warned about but they either failed to address or refused to address
2. Previously reported on by Macrumors and other publications but dismissed by their readers

What are you smoking? Israel was re-established as an independent entity around ~1950, but to say that the nation of Israel only came about in the 20th century is ridiculous.
Does PinkyMacGodess know how and when states like Syria, Lebanon and Jordan were established?

Does she know that Jordan was given to the Hashemites who were from Saudi Arabia?

Does she know that prior to 1948 the whole world called the Jews "Palestinians"? The newspaper now known as The Jerusalem Post was called The Palestine Post and the Arabs, prior to 1948 vehemently objected to being called "Palestinians" and insisted that the geographical area known as "Palestine" was no more than "Southern Syria.

The was even a Palestinian flag then included the Star of David.

Did PinkyMacGodess know any of this?

Israel is a horrible country that has blood on its hands, forcing Palestinians out of their lands and homes. Call me an antisemite all you want, their government sucks and Israelis have become the fascists they profess to hate.
Israel is surrounded bei non-democratic states that for decades made it their aim to destroy Israel, threatening its very existence. Israel didn’t propagate nothing like that towards its neighbors.
Anyway, your problem is that you are so mislead by hate that you obvious cannot differentiate between people and governments.
And by the way: many Arabic minorities like gay people feel safe in Israel, because in their home countries they would be put in jail or worse only because they exist.
