Sounds like you are an antisemitic bellend. Just saying...

Zionism certainly isn't antisemitism - Zionism is what gives Jews equal rights to Muslims in Israel. No other country in the Middle East give Jews equal rights to Muslims.
If you are an anti-zonist, then you don't support the right of Jews (or any other faith, or those of no faith) to have equal rights to Muslims.
If you don't want Jews to have equal rights to others, you are an antisemite.

"The British government was rightly outraged when Putin had two of his political opponents assassinated in this country" - Russian dissidents haven't usurped the UK government, are not being armed by Iran, and have not been launching near daily missile attacks on Russia from the UK. I'm not sure why you think the objection to acts of Russian aggression on UK soil is in any way comparable to Israel taking action against the people attacking Israeli citizens. Maybe you just think that anything Israel does is automatically evil?
Being accused of war crimes by your enemies doesn't mean you are actually committing those crimes. The ICC is currently establishing if there is any basis to investigate potential acts of genocide. The only ruling so far in the case started by South African is that the ICC has agreed that South Africa has the ability to raise a case that the ICC should consider. The next ruling will be to either start investigations, or more likely, to dismiss the case due to lack of evidence supporting the South African claims.
Expelled from their homeland by colonisers who are then kicked out by a different set of colonisers, but somehow you think it's wrong for the Jews to come back to their ancestral homeland. "open extermination tactics" - what absolute bollocks of a statement - you do a very good impression of a raving antisemite.
"The pagers in question are widely used by Lebanon's hospitals and EMTs" - no, not widely used, and only by Hezbollah members (not Hamas, who are a different Iranian proxy further "down south"). No one in Lebanon will have been on the fence - they are either Islamofascists determined to kill all the Jews before moving on to the Christians and the other non-Muslims, or they already hate Hezbollah and will have been glad "the mob down south" have dealt Hezbollah a blow.
Why can't the UK business be nationalised for £1 the moment it goes bust? That would £1 over the actual value of the business at that time, so fair value and recompense provided to the French parent company for the assets. What the French parent does with the rest of the business is then France's problem.
Take a deep breath and process the information. There are two possible reasons that Pegasus exists that are being discussed here - the first is that it is created to be used as a law enforcement tool. The second is that NSO decided to create a tool, Pegasus, that was specifically designed to enable "countries using it for illicit goals like spying on political opponents, dissidents and free press", but somehow NSO got a bit chicken with doing that, so had to come up with the cover story of it being a law enforcement tool as some sort of cover, but they absolutely still want Pegasus to be only used on political opponents, dissidents and free press. Now, which one do you really think is the reason?
"the reason NSO exists is because of countries using it for illicit goals like spying on political opponents, dissidents and free press." - er, no. Pegasus exists as a law enforcement tool. The fact that it is sometimes abused by the users of the product doesn't alter what the tool was created for.
It is now Thursday afternoon, a full 24 hours after publication of this article, and this is the first comment on this story.
What makes certain apps be called creepy "stalkerware", other apps with the same capabilities branded as scary "spyware", and some have the even scarier moniker of "super-spyware"? What happened to the more accurate "commercial surveillance technology" or more generic "snoopware" descriptions?
Perhaps Jessica and the Register mods might want to compare the response this article has generated against the responses to stories about the "stalkerware" app called Pegasus, and consider what triggers the large number of Pegasus comments.
The ruling doesn't say they must stop, because you can't stop doing something you are not already doing. The instruction is to continue to observe its obligations, with specific obligations highlighted, presumably because these are the ones the court feels would be the areas that would be targetted in the unlikely situation that Israel decided to become like most other middle eastern states and start to engage in genocide.
Israeli Law Professors’ Forum is a political entity, and your quoted opinion does not make it a fact.
You've completely made up that I "equated criticism of actions of the government of the state of Israel with being antisemitic", but as you've raised this, let's be clear, if the criticisms are based on antisemitic sentiment, then those criticisms are antisemitic. It would be Islamophobic to criticise Hamas for being Muslim, but it is not Islamophobic, for example, to criticise them for being a genocidal set of thugs driven by Jew hatred, or to criticise them for deliberately putting non-combatants in harms way, maximising their fatalities and casualties as a tactic in the fight against Israel.
Are you sure about that? There has been no such ruling. The court recently requested they continue to not commit genocide.
And then you roll out the broken apartheid accusation, just to unfurl your true colours.
And who claimed the government of Israel speaks for all jews? Where has that come from?
What the F, dude? Indeed, What the F. Israel is NOT committing crimes against humanity. It's fighting an ideology driven bunch of thugs that wants to wipe Jews off the face of the earth and is happy to sacrifice as many of its own women and children as possible in order to further that aim. Why are you carrying water for the genocidal ideology of Hamas? What the F, dude....
Depending on the circumstances, opposing Israel may not be antisemitism, however, suggesting that Israel controls the USA is antisemitic.
Stating that Israel is perpetrating a genocide is also a grossly antisemitic distortion of the facts. It is Hamas who wants to commit genocide. While Hamas still exists and uses the civilian population of Gaza as human shields, it is also committing crimes against humanity on the Gazans.

Ah, I think I've got you. Are you going with the CCP view that these aren't flaws and Apple deliberately instals "features" for western spy agencies to use? The loss Apple has suffered by NSO's sloppy use of the feature means the feature is no longer a feature, and a new feature has to be developed to replace it?
You were the one suggesting that the availability of the NSO tool makes governments abuse the tool - I'm asking questions to try to understand why you think that. Personally, I think you are putting the cart before the horse. A government who abuses the NSO tools is going to abuse whatever tools are available to them, even the manufactures of something as simple as a saw, for example. The story is about governmental abuse. Anybody who wants to make NSO the centre of the story is deflecting the focus away from the actual problem. What is the motivation for that deflection?
Can you explain to me how NSO forces its clients to abuse the tools? Do you think that NSO forces all its clients to abuse the tools, or do they only force some of their clients to abuse the tools? Can you also explain how the manufacture of the saw used to cut up Jamal Khashoggi after he was murdered forced KSA to abuse him?
