#2Why make such a big deal out of how these companies are Israeli? It feels kind of like a dog whistle- what makes the location where a misbehaving company is registered relevant to the story?
You'd never read an article saying something like "Uber- a Deleware corporation did x y z..."

#3This is a commercialization of mafia tactics.

BC it's an Israeli newspaper.

Canadian news often does the same with Canadian companies. It’s not an in common behavior in local news. (I disagree with the practice too.)

Also ex Mossad agents, it is relevant.

It's the title of the article, not the posters editorializing, and the title also points of that the court dispute is taking place in Canada but you don't have anything to say about that. The publication is Israel-based, owned by an Israeli and largely focuses on the issues affecting the Israel tech field.

#8Someone boasting about being a "Commander" is not the same as having been one. I had hoped that this piece would have done a bit more research.
Basically, there are two groups, Black Cube and Psy-Group who are completely different. The former is investigated for trying to run sting operations that make no sense. The latter is asserted to be a part of Trump's social manipulation group that got him elected. Something that could have been a part of Cambridge Analytica.
So this article offers almost nothing of substance about the latter group.

Well for one thing, the article comes from the tech site with is an arm of an Israeli newspaper. Maybe it's more like The Delaware Herald starting an article off with "Joe's Consulting, a company headquartered in state capitol Annapolis.."
There is to me something negative implied in being a Delaware corporation (tax avoidance). This article is only critical of the shady tactics of the two firms mentioned in the story, not of the existence of Israel. It's not a dog whistle.

Are they ex Mossad agents? The article cites one as claiming to be a former "Commander" of something. Everyone Joe in Israel tries to claim that. Only after digging into specifics do you realize that they were cooks who left the army early due to heat stroke.
