On what are you basing your opinion that this is a "great deal"? Google is going to have to earn close to $100B in profit attributable to this acquisition over the next 10 years in order to financially justify it.
It's smart defense, great offense, and a good product behind it. Each eat a big chunk of that $100B target. I don't see Wiz as a 10 year company, I see it as a forever requirement for companies to manage all of their cloud resources (across all providers). It will be here as long as GCP/AWS are here.

Many Jews do not practice Judaism. Being Jewish is an ethnicity. Source: am Jewish, not religeous.
Me too, but a lot of (admittedly not all) opposition to Israel's existence, extent, and its security apparatus is rooted in anti-semitism. I'm not going to undertake a long discussion about it, but in short, you can hear the dog whistles and they're inappropriate.

anti-zionism != anti-semitism learn your definition
The difference doesn't matter for the purpose of this thread. The comment was crude, inappropriate, and unnecessarily political.
