If ever anyone still doesn't get how Western countries still support Israel despite the populations of those countries widely hating Israel, this shit is why.

They have blackmail on all our politicians, but moreover they can sell their domestic surveillance spy tools (such as malware) to bad actors (such as the US gov) to spy on their own citizens too.

Israel is the #1 perpetrator and exporter of fascism and police states.

IDF rules:

OK things to do:

• Kill children,
• Rape women,
• Kill prisoners,
• Destroy peoples property,
• Use iPhone.

Not OK things to do:

• Use Android OS

Androids are obviously Hamas

Guess Blackberry security was right all along

This can mean anything, it's possible they wanted just 1 platform so that their expertise is focused. And android being a little more open may have been seen (biased) as a disadvantage (i.e. enemies are more prone to find a vulnerability). We can argue with it. It's like the counterpart of people thinking that open source is per default more safe because of being open source... It's a correlation that can't prove anything..

I thought Apple doesn’t let the bad guys … oh wait, that’s just in Movies and TV shows.

When Linux phone?

Guess we now know what the "i" stands for.

I was already thinking of getting a Linux phone next, this is helping to seal the deal. Fuck Apple the genocide enablers.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, among all tech companies, Apple is the closest to the nazi mindset.

frankly this is because israel knows exactly how much spyware they've gotten their partner, Google, to put into android. the iphone is also chock full of spyware, and they do want to spy on their military force to make sure it's as ideologically and racially pure as they need it to be to continue their genocide. further consider that budget iphones don't exist and you realize that their systemic impoverishing of the indigenous Palestinian people means that all of the targets of their genocide are much more likely to be android users than iphone users. given this, israel is in real time creating a new signifier of jewish-israeli identity. soon having an android phone as civilian will be evidence of HAMAS.

and again.

i want to remind everyone that google is a major partner to israel. this is not a case of iphones bad guys, android phones good guys. this is a case of both being components in a system of torture. i can't tell you yet to divest yourself of both to switch to linux phones like postmarketos because even i can't do that without buying a new device, but please watch that space. and until you can, if you're using a google pixel please consider installing grapheneos, and if you're not please consider using a de-googled lineage based rom. israel greatly values the intel they get from their partner google.

Oh boy this is great, now we can call iPhone users as zionists, any excuse to demonize Apple People, I'm down for it
