I don't know what Israeli media you're consuming, but as an Israeli, that is quite far from the truth, maybe with the exception of some specific pro-government propaganda networks.

While I do wish the mainstream media in Israel dedicated more time to the human rights situation in Gaza, their coverage is far from how you presented it.

The supply chain violation was performed by a Hungarian shell company with no links to Israeli tech. Using it as an example of why you would avoid any Israel-based companies is a weird security strategy.

Illegally downloading creative works is most assuredly _not_ theft, according to either the dictionary or the legal definitions, as no possessions are being taken and no one is being deprived of their property.

Have you just woken up from a coma you fell into back in the 90s?

No, it's really, really not, and this line of reasoning is getting absurd.

People around the world routinely engage in frequent sexual intercourse without becoming pregnant. If you show me even a fraction of that same number of people who have demonstrated an ability to consume ten cheeseburgers a day for a prolonged period without gaining weight, maybe you'd have a point. Otherwise, this is just a blatant false equivalence.

That is patently absurd. Consent to sexual intercourse is not consent to pregnancy, especially if contraceptives were used and failed.

At the risk of stretching the metaphor to its breaking point, this is you choosing to go out and get drunk while aware that members of an unethical music lovers' organization are skulking about looking for victims to graft sick violinists onto. Sure, they no longer need to actively drug you because you willingly did that yourself, but that doesn't imply your consent to what happens next.

Both the Pfizer-BioNTech (Comirnaty) and Moderna (Spikevax) COVID vaccines are fully FDA approved for a while now.
